The couple already share four children

The Hollywood actor has spoken out about the difficulties of being a dad and told People magazine: "Being a father can be very challenging because kids are obsessed with their mothers. I’m in a room with my kids and I’m doing really well until my wife walks in! They just dump me.

"That’s just how it is — there’s nothing I can do about it!"

He added: "My advice for new dads: If your wife is a great mummy, appreciate that and enjoy that. That’s a great thing to have."
