Ryan and Blake met in 2010 while filming Green Lantern and just two years later married in 2012. The couple keep their personal life very private and rarely share pictures or information about their children.

Ryan has recently revealed he is taking a step back from acting to spend more time with his children. He told LinkedIn News of his decision, he said: "Well, I’ve done a lot of [acting]...The biggest thing for me, and I know you have kids as well, is that I don’t want to miss this time with my kids."

He added: "I really enjoy being a present dad...I love taking them to school in the morning, I love picking them up." Outside of acting Ryan works with fellow Hollywood actor Rob McElhenney in owning and running Wrexham football club.

He often visits Wales and Wrexham to watch the games and cheer the players on and has taken a keen interest in Welsh culture, learning Welsh and connecting with the people of Wrexham. There is a new series documenting Ryan and Rob's ownership of Wrexham and the highs and lows they faced called Welcome to Wrexham. You can watch Welcome to Wexham on the streaming site Disney Plus.
