She continued the post: "Look how rad she is here making my niece Heather feellike a rock star. Love my Canadian family almost as muchas I love Taylor Lively. I mean Swift. Ok, FIIINE we can hyphenate our lastnames Xo Blake Swift-Lively 4eva."

Well, it turns out Ryan is just fine with his wife being aSwiftie, and joked in an interview with the Toronto Sun  on Wednesday that he's "trying" to make their marriage happen. "This is a real modern romance we're talking about," he said. "There's three of us now."

As to whom would get the middle spot in the bed, Ryan added: "You're randomly selected each day. So everyone punches a ticket whenwe go through the kitchen in the morning."

The Vancouver native was north of the border to attend theToronto International Film Festival premiere of his new film, Mississippi Grind.Before the screening, he said that he'd wanted the role so badly when he metthe directors more than two years ago, he'd promised them his first-born childif they would cast him in the film.

"And here we are. I'm very very happy that we're hereand that we get to show you this film and I get to be in it, [which] I'mthrilled about," he continued. "I'm also a little sad cause since then I've had a daughter andin one week I'll be giving her up. I'm not like super sad, cause its really hard work, but Ifeel confident in their abilities to raise that child as if it were myown."

Blake shared a YouTube videoof her husband's speech and despite him joking about giving away their8-month-old daughter, James, she wrote, "I know I should be mad but…"and followed it with love emojis.

It sounds as if little James is a handful. Ryan told theToronto Sun that he's had some mornings with his daughter "that were froma broad comedy that nobody would ever want to pay to see. Just absolutelyidiotic, where you're doing eight things at once. Your baby's screaming andcrying, you're trying to make some kind of coffee, it's already 4 p.m. and you realizeyou haven't eaten yourself. I commend any single parent that's ever doneit."
