Reynolds has been promoting his new film “IF” in recent days. In an appearance on The Today Show, he was asked about his fourth child, which he welcomed last year. He and Lively have made it their priority to keep the child’s identity private, with few people knowing the child’s gender and name.
He was asked if their new child’s name was featured in Swift’s new record, considering that the names of his kids, Inez, Betty, and James, have been featured in some of Swift’s songs. “We always wait for Taylor to tell us what the child’s name will be,” Reynolds joked. “We’re still waiting. So, Taylor, let’s maybe start, you know.”
