The pair are said to be keen on emulating their parents' success, much to Olson's concern. "We'd talked about not showing their faces," she said. "I remember going through puberty – no kid should be seen publicly before they're ready to.

"Everyone's got their insecurities, and it's not their fault that we chose this path and that we're famous. Rob went rogue and put them in a f***ing documentary! I'm still unhappy about that."

McElhenney defended his contentious decision, claiming that their children were all for the experience. He said: "The kids love it. I have a different perspective. Millions of people across the say, 'We love to watch them.'"

However, Olson wasn't swayed by his rationale, saying: "I don't care about them – I care about my kids. We're still fighting about it."

McElhenney also shed light on his tight-knit relationship with Reynolds, revealing that they frequently exchange messages. Both he and Olson have rallied behind the Deadpool actor and his wife,, amidst their legal tussle with It Ends With Us director .

"It's just our way of staying connected and navigating something together," McElhenney said. "And also me giving and showing as much support as I possibly can with all the other stuff that he's got going on, that I know is so difficult and challenging.

"We both are just trying to offer our support in any way that we can that doesn't just simply add oxygen to the fire."

In addition, McElhenney disclosed that he's pondering a name change due to the ongoing confusion over how to pronounce his surname. Despite Reynolds' attempts to clear up the matter with a music video aimed at teaching the correct pronunciation, the problem persists.

"As our business and our storytelling is expanding into other regions of the world and other languages in which my name is even harder to pronounce, I'm just going by Rob Mac," he said.

The switch hasn't been entirely well-received at home, with Olson saying: "The kids are really not happy about it, because they have that last name, and so do I, legally."

McElhenney has openly acknowledged the ups and downs of their marriage but remains optimistic about their future. He said: "The truth is that marriage is really f***ing hard. We've gone through terrible times, and we've gone through wonderful times.

"We've hit seemingly rock bottom, and we've hit heights that I couldn't possibly imagine that I would meet with a partner. I'd like to believe that we're going to continue that for the next 40, 50, 60 years together."
