We don't need another reason to love Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds, but I'll give you one anyway.

In a new interview with Variety, the 40-year-old "Deadpool" actor opened up about how his wife helps him manage his anxiety.

According to the magazine, the actor had a lot of stress and anxiety leading up to the film's premiere. He explained,

By the time we were in [post-production], we'd been to Comic-Con, and people went crazy for it. The expectations were eating me alive.

He continued,

Blake helped me through that... I'm lucky to have her around just to keep me sane.

I WANT TO HUG THEM BOTH AND FORCE THEM TO ADOPT ME.

This isn't the first time Reynolds has struggled with anxiety. He opened up about where he believes it stemmed from during his childhood. He shared,

I have three older brothers. Our father was tough. He wasn't easy on anyone. And he wasn't easy on himself. I think the anxiety might have started there, trying 
to find ways to control others by trying to control myself. At the time, I never recognized that. I was just a twitchy kid.

Well, Ryan is all grown up now and has two daughters of his own.

In the middle of December, Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively's children actually made their first public appearance.

AREN'T THEY PRECIOUS? This was the first time we actually got to see how much James looks like her mother.

So seriously, Blake and Ryan... when can you sign my adoption papers?
