Married for over a decade, Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively have proven to be an exception to the curse of broken marriages in Hollywood. In their twelve years of marriage, the couple has had four kids, namely, James, 9, Inez, 7, Betty, 4, and Olin, who was born earlier this year. A picture-perfect family with loving parents and four kids running around the house, causing wholesome chaos.

For most people, four kids is already a handful. Reynolds and Lively are not most people. The couple’s love for kids has only grown in the years that they have been parents. The question of if they would want to grow their family has been raised for them.

Answering the question of wanting a fifth child, the Deadpool & Wolverine star told E! News in July:

The more the merrier. As many as possible. As many little heartbeats as possible, just running around, wrecking stuff in the house.

And while the thought is pure and heartwarming, it seems like it will not happen in the near future and the insider detailed the reason behind it.

With Reynolds on the road for promotions and press runs for his latest release Deadpool & Wolverine, and Lively herself busy with the engagements for It Ends With Us, the couple is on tight schedules of their own.

They have always managed to find time for their children and family. It is evident in everything they do, that family is their top priority. However, an insider revealed that this seemingly tightly-knit family is not always together. A source close to the couple alleged to Life & Style:

They do a great job with the PR and presenting this image that they’re joined at the hip, but that’s because they’re brilliant with their timing.

The source also commented on how the couple’s present circumstances make it all the more difficult for them to even sit and relax, or plan to have another child.

Ryan has never been busier and is constantly flying over to the U.K. for his business with Wrexham A.F.A. and to L.A. to schmooze with all the studio people. He’s got his brands to take care of, like Mint Mobile and Aviation Gin.

He’s amazing at doing it all while Blake tirelessly raises the kids and relies as little as possible on the nannies, she’s got her own movie career and brands to run as well. So the two of them barely have a moment of downtime, let alone the bandwidth to plan around the best baby-making schedule.

The couple never relents on gushing over their kids and expressing how much they love having a full house. While the possibility of a fifth child is increasingly unlikely, it is certainly a possibility.
