Ryan Reynolds has become "a little more sentimental" since welcoming his children into the world

He told People magazine: "Oh, I’m a little more sentimental. I can lay it on pretty thick. I’ve always been sentimental - since I was a kid."

Meanwhile, the 41-year-old actor previously confessed having children has given him a "better" outlook on life.

Asked how his perspective has changed, he shared: "It's so much better. Having a family means that you stop worrying about a lot of stupid things and you start focusing on the present.

"I remember how I used to get bored when people would show their baby pictures, and I wanted to jump out of the window after parents would show me baby photos on their phone displays. Since I've become a father though, I can't stop taking my own children's photos and showing them to my friends."

Ryan is determined to be a "present" parent and the couple co-ordinate their working schedules so one of them is always around for their girls.

He added: "It's not that difficult [to juggle]. We don't allow our film schedules to overlap and we are very conscious of being very present as parents. I come from a big family and so does Blake, and we both want to create a very warm and happy environment for our children ...

"Getting enough sleep is always a big challenge. My wife and I are convinced that our daughters are allergic to sleep. I try to sing to them but usually I'm the one who falls asleep instead."
