Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds are parents to three adorable daughters and welcomed their fourth 𝚋𝚊𝚋𝚢 in 2023.

Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds are two of Hollywood’s coolest parents.

Since marrying in 2012, the couple have welcomed three adorable daughters: James, 9, Inez, 7, and Betty, 4. In February 2023, Lively shared that she and Reynolds had quietly welcomed their fourth 𝚋𝚊𝚋𝚢, Olin.

In addition to having famous parents, the Reynolds brood has global popstar Taylor Swift as a godmother. The “betty” singer revealed her special title on Instagram in July 2024 when she referred to the Deadpool & Wolverine star as her “godkids’ sperm donor.”

In July 2024, Reynolds joked that he and Lively might not be done having kids, telling E! News, “The more the merrier. As many as possible. As many little heartbeats as possible, just running around, wrecking stuff in the house. I love it. Let’s have more!”

Here’s everything to know about Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds’ four kids.

James Reynolds, 9

James Reynolds was born on Dec. 16, 2014. In an interview with The MR PORTER Post, Reynolds revealed that they named their daughter James after his father, who passed away shortly after she was born. “It felt right,” Reynolds explained, adding that before his father died, “he got to see her, which makes me happy.”

When asked about the “unusual” name choice for a girl on Good Morning Britain, Reynolds joked, “In the spectrum of weird celebrity 𝚋𝚊𝚋𝚢 names, I don’t really feel like we’re breaking new ground here. I didn’t call her Summer Squash Meadowlark.”

James had her first big celebrity moment when she was just 2 years old, making an appearance on Taylor Swift’s album Reputation. James is the 𝚋𝚊𝚋𝚢 heard during the opening of “Gorgeous,” and Swift credited her in the album booklet.

On Good Morning America, Lively admitted that when she and Reynolds heard their daughter’s voice at Swift’s concert, she started jumping up and down and filming on her phone while Reynolds threw his hands in the air. “We were very embarrassing,” Lively said. “This is the true, unfiltered version of our terrible stage-parent pride.”

During an interview for Sirius XM’s The Jess Cagle Show, Reynolds shared that his daughters, for the longest time, had no idea that Swift was a famous pop star.

“And then they went to a concert one day and were like, ‘Ohhhhh, this isn’t a hobby,’ ” he said, adding that listening to Aunt Taylor’s music has become “like a religion in our house.”

In January 2023, Reynolds took James to Wales where they watched a Wrexham match. The Deadpool star was seen holding James’ hand while walking through the stands at The Racecourse Ground and he was photographed talking to people during the match as James patiently waited.

Inez Reynolds, 7

Lively and Reynolds’ second daughter, Inez Reynolds, was born in New York on Sept. 30, 2016.

In an interview with PEOPLE, Lively clarified the correct spelling of her daughter’s name. “I had a new 𝚋𝚊𝚋𝚢, Inez, with a ‘z’ even though everyone says it’s with an ‘s.’ I don’t know why,” she said. “Please tell Wikipedia.”

According to Reynolds, Inez has a bit of a “dark side.” On Live with Kelly and Ryan, the proud dad talked about Inez’s favorite characters. “She’s super into villains,” he shared. “We watch Beauty and the Beast and her favorite character is Gaston.”

He continued to joke about her spunky personality, noting that even her doctor has noticed. “Our pediatrician, when she met Inez, she said, ‘Oh, this one’s shady,’ ” Reynolds shared. “Even the other day, when we were traveling back home, we were at the airport and out of our whole family she’s the only one that got the secondary security pat down at 2 years old. She just takes it like a hard-earned felon.”

Inez also has a stylish side. In 2021, Lively shared a video of an outfit Inez picked out for her to wear: a floral skirt, a hot pink sweatshirt with a rhinestone smiley face and black pumps with a fuzzy pink heel. “When you try to get your 4 year old dressed but they insist on dressing you instead … at 5am,” she wrote.

In May 2023, Lively took James and Inez to see Aunt Taylor Swift perform in Philadelphia. The pop star spotted the little girls mid-show and shouted, “Hi James! Hi Nezzy!”

Betty Reynolds, 4

Betty Reynolds was born on Oct. 4, 2019. While Lively and Reynolds haven’t explicitly explained why they chose their third daughter’s name, the Gossip Girl alum has said that it’s a family moniker. She explained that the name of her non-alcoholic sparkling mixers, Betty Buzz, was inspired by her father and his mother, Betty.

“My dad’s name was Ernest Brown Jr., but he was known as Ernie Lively,” she wrote in a press release. “He gave up his last name when he married my mom and any success he, or I, have experienced has been in a name that isn’t his. So when I was working hard to build this company, I wanted any success to be in a name that was meaningful to him. Betty was his mom and his sister’s name.”

Lively’s good friend Swift was actually the one to confirm the little girl’s name publicly with her song “Betty.” The track also references the couple’s other two girls, with lyrics, “You heard the rumors from Inez / You can’t believe a word she says” and “She said, ‘James, get in, let’s drive.’ ”

In 2020, Lively revealed that Inez had difficulty adjusting to Betty’s arrival. “It’s a bit of a tough adjustment in our house, but it’s good,” she told host Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show. “I have two other daughters, so my oldest is very much into the 𝚋𝚊𝚋𝚢, but my middle child, not so much.”

Olin, 1

On Feb. 12, 2023, Lively posted photos of her and Reynold’s Super Bowl festivities and subtly shared the news that they had welcomed their fourth 𝚋𝚊𝚋𝚢. In the first photo, the couple posed with Lively’s mom, and the actress no longer had a 𝚋𝚊𝚋𝚢 bump.

Reynolds and Lively managed to keep their fourth child’s name private for more than a year after the birth. Olin’s name was eventually revealed at the New York City premiere of Deadpool & Wolverine in July 2024.

The pair revealed they were becoming a family of six in September 2022. Lively walked the red carpet at the 10th Annual Forbes Power Women’s Summit in a sequined mini dress with her 𝚋𝚊𝚋𝚢 bump on full display. PEOPLE then confirmed the pregnancy news.

Later that month, Lively posted a carousel of 𝚋𝚊𝚋𝚢 bump photos on Instagram. While the pictures were happy, the caption was not. It was clear that the Gossip Girl star only shared the photos to appease the paparazzi.

“Here are photos of me pregnant in real life so the 11 guys waiting outside my home for a 🦄 sighting will leave me alone,” Lively captioned the post. “You freak me and my kids out.”

In June 2023, Reynolds mentioned his youngest child when he announced his new series Bedtime Stories With Ryan on Instagram.

The father of four shared a video that featured him preparing to read a book to a pair of animatronic sheep and a clip of him relaxing on a rooftop. In the caption, the actor wrote that “the idea for a show made to help everyone fall asleep was born the same day as my fourth child.”
