Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively recently announced the name of their fourth child, Olin, during the Deadpool & Wolverine premiere in New York. The couple, who also have daughters James, Inez, and Betty, seemingly confirmed the birth of baby No. 4 in February, five months after Lively's pregnancy was confirmed. Lively shared a post-pregnancy red carpet appearance in April and skipped the 2023 Met Gala to stay home with her newborn.
Reynolds shared that transitioning from three to four kids has been smooth, expressing love for their growing family. Taylor Swift, a close friend of the couple, has used their children's names as inspiration for her music, including tracks like 'August' and 'Betty.' Reynolds has praised Swift for her sensitivity and trustworthiness in using their kids' names in her songs.
Swift recently gave a shout-out to James and Inez during her Eras Tour show in Philadelphia, revealing that the characters in her song 'Betty' were named after real people she loves, including the Reynolds-Lively children. Reynolds expressed amazement at the honor of having his kids' names featured in Swift's music, emphasizing the importance of privacy for his family.
The couple's decision to keep their children unaware of the namesake characters in Swift's songs reflects their approach to maintaining privacy and limiting exposure to outside information. Reynolds and Lively have embraced their expanding family with joy and humor, with Reynolds joking about not having 'met' his children yet but finding them to be great.
With the reveal of their youngest child's name, Olin, the Reynolds-Lively family continues to capture the public's attention with their endearing family dynamics and the musical tributes inspired by their children's names.
