Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively have finally revealed the name of their 16-month-old child, nearly a year and a half after the birth. The announcement took place during the premiere of Reynolds’ latest film, Deadpool & Wolverine, where he took the stage alongside his co-stars to deliver a heartfelt speech.
According to Us Weekly, while on stage, Reynolds expressed his gratitude to his family, saying, “I want to start by saying thank you to my wife Blake, who is here.” He continued by acknowledging his three daughters and revealing the name of his fourth baby for the first time. “I want to thank my kids James, Inez, Betty, and 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,” Reynolds said.
The gender of their youngest child has not been disclosed yet, keeping some details about their newest family member private. This revelation has been long-awaited by fans and the media alike.
Back in May, during an interview on the Today show, co-host Savannah Guthrie asked Reynolds about the name of his fourth child. In a light-hearted response, Reynolds joked, “We always wait for Taylor to tell us what the child’s name is,” and added, “We’re still waiting.” This playful reference hints at the close relationship the couple shares with singer Taylor Swift, who has previously referenced their children in her music.
The premiere of Deadpool & Wolverine was a significant event, not just for the film but also for Reynolds’ personal life, as he chose this moment to share such a personal revelation with the public. The film is set to hit cinemas on July 25, and fans are eagerly anticipating both the movie and any further glimpses into Reynolds’ and Lively’s family life.
As the couple continues to balance their high-profile careers with their growing family, moments like these offer a rare and cherished look into their personal lives. The announcement of Olin’s name adds a new chapter to their story, delighting fans who have followed their journey closely.
