Ryan Reynolds has revealed the name of his youngest child more than a year after his wife Blake Lively gave birth.
The “Deadpool & Wolverine” star shared details about his fourth child on Monday during the world premiere of his highly-anticipated Marvel film, which he has been promoting seemingly non-stop in the lead-up to its release on Friday. His co-star Hugh Jackman will reprise his role as Wolverine from the “Logan” and “X-Men” franchises.
The “Fall Guy” star gave an emotional speech onstage with “Deadpool” director Shawn Levy and his co-stars, thanking his entire family for joining him at the New York event.
“I want to start by thanking my wife Blake, who is here. Her outfit is incredible — spoiler alert!” Reynolds said onstage, referring to Lively’s outfit for the premiere. (The former “Gossip Girl” actress wore a glamorous Deadpool-inspired jumpsuit by Versace that perfectly matched the Wolverine-inspired look by Miu Miu that her friend Gigi Hadid wore on the red carpet.)

“I want to thank my children — James, Inez, Betty, Olin — who are here,” she added, according to ABC News. “I hope that, if I’m lucky, this moment will be the most traumatic thing — meaning the content of this movie — that happens to them in their wonderful lives.”
So, Olin is the chosen one. Three girls and Olin.
Lively, 36, and Reynolds, who have been married since 2012, welcomed their fourth child in February 2023. They have not yet revealed the sex of the child, but have joked about their good friend Taylor Swift dropping hints about her little ones. The superstar singer famously listed the names of three of her children in her 2020 song “Betty.”
“We're always waiting for Taylor to tell us what the baby's name is, and I'll say this: We're still waiting,” Reynolds joked on the “Today” show in May.
This week, the “IF” star also joked about the exorbitant cost of having Swift as a nanny.
“I think the accountant said ‘cost prohibitive,'” she said in a joint interview with Jackman for E! News. “I think what he meant was ‘cost prohibitive, what are you doing? I'm not your accountant anymore.'”
Meanwhile, Lively has been promoting her husband's latest film, taking to Instagram ahead of the premiere on Monday to list all the ways “Deadpool & Wolverine” was influenced by “2000s girls.”
“Tell me Deadpool is married to a millennial girl in real life” without “He's telling me,” the “It Ends With Us” star said in the clip, which included a supercut of his alleged contributions. His new film opens Aug. 9.
