At the Deadpool & Wolverine premiere in New York City, Ryan Reynolds excitedly announced the name of his youngest child with Blake Lively.
Speaking to the crowd, Ryan said, “I want to start by saying thank you to my wife, Blake, who is here.” He then turned to his kids and added, “I’d like to thank my amazing children, Olin, Betty, Inez, and James. I hope that, if my luck is right, this movie will be the most thrilling event of your lives—that is, the movie itself will be thrilling!”
He looked around with a smile and said, “It’s great that my whole family is here.”

Ryan, 47, and Blake, 36, have three daughters: Betty, 4; Inez, 7; and James, 9. Just five months after it was announced that Blake was expecting their fourth child, the couple welcomed their new baby in February of the previous year.
On February 13, 2023, Ryan shared their joy on CNBC’s Power Lunch, saying, “We are ecstatic. Look, if we didn’t love this, we wouldn’t keep doing it four times.”
He added, “Everyone is doing fantastic. Everyone is doing incredibly well. We’d be in serious trouble if we hadn’t figured it out by now.”
At that time, Ryan had kept the name and gender of their new baby a secret. He told Today, “We never find out until the baby is born.” He grinned and said, “I’m kind of hoping for another girl, but I’m ready for whatever comes.”
