"It was quite nice, it was structured time off, I would work for a few hours and then I would be off, but it was beautiful," he shared.

"I stayed home all summer - I haven't shot a movie all summer - and it was nice to be home with my family. It is wild, summertime is special. They are still sweet."

The Hollywood couple are already parents to three daughters

"The kids do all the same stuff other kids do, they are drawing and coloring and having dance parties, they hunt mom and dad in the woods with a crossbow. It's that time in your life and it reminds me of being a little kid."

Blake and Ryan are raising their family in upstate New York; they bought the home in 2012, six months after they started dating. It has seven bedrooms and six bathrooms across 11.65 acres of space, including an outdoor barn, and is decorated in a modern farmhouse style with exposed brick walls and wooden floors.

Blake revealed on 15 September that she was pregnant with their fourth baby when she took to the red carpet to reveal the happy news, showing up to the 10th Annual Forbes Power Women's Summit showing off her adorable growing bump.

For the event, and to share the special announcement with the world, the actress donned a dazzling mini dress with sequins and beads shaped in a "V" print.

She accessorized her look with a white bow around her neck that fell down past her dress, a headband, and white sky-high pumps. She looked happy and glowing as ever, smiling ear to ear and posing with her hand on her bump.
