Ryan Reynolds has recalled a ‘sweet’ remark that Taylor Swift made about being godmother to his children with his wife Blake Lively.

Blake, 37, married Ryan, 48, in 2012 and they have since welcomed four children – daughters James, nine, Inez, eight, and Betty, five, and son Olin, one.

For years Blake has been a member of Taylor’s star-studded girl squad, amid such names as supermodel Gigi Hadid and actress Zoe Kravitz.

Taylor released a song called betty in 2020 in a tip of the hat to Blake and Ryan’s youngest daughter, and the lyric also included James and Inez’ names.

Now Ryan has shared his reaction to the touching moment when Taylor announced to the world that she was the children’s godmother.

The 34-year-old pop star broke the news in an Instagram post promoting Ryan’s latest blockbuster Deadpool & Wolverine, starring him and Hugh Jackman.

In Taylor’s original post, she name-checked Deadpool’s alter ego and wrote: ‘Shout out to Wade Wilson, aka my godkids’ sperm donor!’

Deadpool & Wolverine did indeed prove to be a galloping success, crossing the billion-dollar mark to become the highest-grossing R-rated movie of all time.

Blake makes an appearance in Deadpool & Wolverine as a character called Ladypool, with Inez also landing a surprise cameo as Kidpool.
