Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively Announce the Name of Baby No. 4. Olin is the new baby’s name, which the parents disclosed after welcoming their fourth child last year. Speaking at the Deadpool & Wolverine premiere in New York on July 22, Ryan called out their four daughters, Betty, four, Inez, seven, and James, nine.
“I want to start by saying thank you to my wife Blake, who is here,” he shared from the stage. “I want to thank my kids James, Inez, Betty, Olin, who are here: I hope that, if I’m lucky, this moment will be the most traumatic thing—that is, the contents of this movie—that happens in your wondrous life.” He added, “I love that my entire family is here.”
Fans have been waiting a long time for this announcement, since Ryan only hinted at the fact that friend Taylor Swift did not divulge the nickname in her Tortured Poets Department album in a brief appearance on the Today show in May.
“We always wait for Taylor to tell us what the child’s name is,” he laughed, “and I will say this, we’re still waiting.” Undoubtedly, as a family of six, their house has turned into “a zoo,” as the Marvel actor puts it. On CNBC’s Power Lunch last year, the 47-year-old stated that he and the Gossip Girl alum are “very excited” about their newest family member. However, he wouldn’t have it any other way.
“Look, we wouldn’t do this four times if we didn’t love it,” the Deadpool actor shared. “Everybody’s doing great. Everybody’s actually doing fantastic.” Following Blake’s 2023 Super Bowl Sunday picture, in which she posed without a baby belly, fans initially conjectured that she had given birth. The 36-year-old wrote, “Puppy Bowl Sunday 2023,” as the Instagram post’s description. “been busy.”
Ryan acknowledged that he has a lot of experience with both genders, even though he and his partner haven’t yet disclosed the gender of their child. As the youngest of four boys, he has previously talked about how much he enjoys being a girl dad. “I know girls,” he said on Today in 2022. “So I’m kind of hoping for that.”
He also mentioned the chaos that might arise in a home with plenty of guys. The Spirited star added, “I speak from experience because I come from all brothers.” “I cherish my health and my house. As the youngest of four children, all we did was practise firefighting and arson.” He is therefore happy to carry on the family heritage of having a large brood with Blake.
“My heart belongs to you. My hope is in you. “You bring me joy,” he declared to his spouse while they were on stage at the 2022 People’s Choice Awards. “I joke that my family exhausts me but, in reality, you give me more strength than any man could possibly deserve.”
The actor, who wed Blake in 2012 after dating for a year, was previously married to Scarlett Johansson from 2008 to 2011.
