“You’ve made me the father of my dreams when I thought I only had fun uncle potential”

The pair welcomed their second daughter into the world in September.

“You are the best thing, the best thing that has ever happened to me – second only to this star. …You make everything better, absolutely everything in my life better.

“You’ve made me the father of my dreams when I thought I only had fun uncle potential.”

Ryan and Blake welcomed their second daughter into the world in September, and Ryan recently said it’s “amazing” to watch their eldest daughter “taking care” of the new arrival.

James, two, was intent on exploring

Speaking to Entertainment Tonight, he said: “They look alike. You can see that she’s sort of a little mini version of our older girl.

“But, no, it’s great. It’s like an actually cohesive, working, functioning family. It’s amazing to see my older daughter taking care of my younger one. The Lion King’was right! The circle of life exists.”

James, who grabbed the mic from her famous father at one point, looked as cute as a button dressed in a little varsity jacket and a pair of converse.

During his speech, the Deadpool star – who was looking as handsome as ever in a sharp suit – thanked his wife, saying: “I want to thank my wife, Blake, who is sitting right there, who is everything to me.

And The Proposal actor – who married 29-year-old Blake in 2012 – also insisted that having a second child hasn’t changed the “dynamic” of their household.

He said: “It didn’t change the dynamic. There’s just more. There’s more love, there’s more diapers. There’s more of all that stuff, you know.”

Stealing the spotlight: James

Meanwhile, Ryan claimed that fatherhood was “the best thing” to ever happen to him, but confessed he isn’t particularly strict with his daughters.

He said: “It’s the best thing. You know, it’s the best thing that could ever happen to you.

“It’s really hard to have boundaries because you just do anything they say. Like, anything they’ll say!”
