Blake Lively is as multifaceted as they come. She’s an actress who has starred in titles like Gossip Girl, A Simple Favor, and The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants (plus It Ends With Us). She’s the founder of Betty Buzz, which has a variety of non-alcoholic mixers that taste just as good on their own as they do with liquor. And, she’s also a mom. Lively has been outspoken about protecting her children from the paparazzi, making rare public appearances with them for events like her husband Ryan Reynolds’ Hollywood Walk Of Fame Ceremonyandcozy date nights.

When Lively and Reynolds seemingly announced the birth of their fourth child last year, we melted. Here’s everything you need to know about Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively’s kids.

Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds’ fourth 𝚋𝚊𝚋𝚢 is named Olin, which he revealed during the July 22 premiere of Deadpool & Wolverine!

Before Ryan chose to reveal the name, he appeared on the Today show and made a cheeky joke about it after the hosts urged him to spill the beans. He said, “We always wait for Taylor to tell us what the child’s name will be. We’ll say this: we’re still waiting.”

Speaking with founder John Bell, who struggled with suicidal ideation after the 2020 loss of his son Jake, Reynolds says, “I want to share with you that I, too, have a son…Boy, John, if I love him one-tenth as much as you love Jake, I’ll feel like I’ve done a pretty d—mn good job.”

Considering how adorable James, Inez, and Betty are, I can only imagine how cute Blake Lively’s son is!

How old was Blake Lively when she had her first child?

Why did Blake Lively name her daughter James?

The couple decided to name their daughter James after Reynolds’ late father. While the name connects both James and Reynolds to his father, it also gives Lively the chance to bond with her daughter over having historically male names. “I liked having a boy’s name,” Lively said on Good Morning Americain 2015. “I thought I’d pass it on.”

Their third daughter Betty’s name is a tribute to Lively’s late father. We didn’t know the name of the couple’s third 𝚋𝚊𝚋𝚢 until Taylor Swift used all three names in her 2020 album folklore. Swift also used James’ voice at the beginning of her 2017 track “Gorgeous”! Does that mean we’ll hear one of Ryan Reynolds’ children in Reputation (Taylor’s Version)? I hope so!

What has Ryan Reynolds said about raising their kids?

In a conversation with Hugh Jackman ahead of Deadpool & Wolverine, Ryan Reynolds opened up about how his family has helped his anxiety. “I think it makes it better because your focus is less on yourself and more on your kids,” he says (via People). “I love that I’ve had anxiety because when I see my kids experiencing some of that, which is probably genetic, I know how to address it in a way that is compassionate, that actually allows them to feel seen. I know that I can’t just fix it. And I can communicate all that stuff to them and with them. I’m always grateful for it.”

Per People, Ryan Reynolds has also made it clear he and Blake are wholly invested in the kids’ daily lives. The doting husband and father enjoys the moments of “walking them to school and walking them back” as it deepens their bond. More than anything, Ryan and Blake’s main goal is to make sure they teach their kids how to be introspective with Ryan saying “the thing we sort of hang our hat on the most is self-awareness with our kids.”
