Ryan Reynolds puts fatherhood on hold

Ryan Reynolds has revealed that he and his wife Scarlett Johansson are in no rush to start a family.

The actor said that they are 'years' away from having children, but do hope to have a family one day.

"A few years down the road, having a family. That's years away at this point," People magazine quoted Ryan as telling according to GQ.

Since their 2008 nuptials, Reynolds, 33, said he's naturally become more protective of the relationship, but denied being obsessed with privacy.

"For the most part - I can only speak for me, as one-half of that relationship - I choose to remain as private as possible without being secretive," he said.
