Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively reveal the name of their fourth child – finally!
We have a baby name at last!
Ryan Reynolds and former Gossip Girl star Blake Lively have finally shared the name of their fourth child, who was born in 2023.
The couple, who already have three daughters 9yo James, 7yo Inez, and 4yo Betty, named their newest addition, baby Olin.
The name Olin is of Scandinavian origin and means “ancestor’s heir.”
Ryan revealed the name at the Deadpool & Wolverine premiere in New York on July 22. During his speech, the 47yo actor thanked his wife and kids, revealing his youngest little one is named Olin.
“I want to start by saying thank you to my wife Blake, who is here,” Ryan told the crowd.
“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. I love that my entire family is here.”
It has been a long wait for the baby name reveal. Back in May, Ryan teased on the Today show that Taylor Swift hadn’t shared their baby’s name on her Tortured Poets Department album.
“We always wait for Taylor to tell us what the child’s name will be,” he joked.
“We’re still waiting. So, Taylor, let’s maybe start, you know. She’s a prolific writer. I mean, what are we doing here? And lazy’s not a word I’d attach to Taylor.”
The couple have been friends with Taylor Swift for years and Taylor even included Blake and Ryan’s children’s names in Betty, a song off her Folklore album in 2020.
Last year on CNBC’s Power Lunch, Ryan said he and Blake are “very excited” about their newest family member.
“We wouldn’t do this four times if we didn’t love it,” he shared. “Everyone’s doing great. Everyone’s actually fantastic.”
