Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds have officially revealed the name of their youngest child, Olin, during the premiere of Reynolds’ latest film, “Deadpool and Wolverine,” in New York City. The couple, who have been married since 2012, attended the event together, and Reynolds took the opportunity to thank his wife and four children, specifically mentioning Olin for the first time.
In September 2022, Lively announced her pregnancy at the Forbes Power Women’s Summit, debuting her baby bump on the red carpet. By February 2023, Lively subtly confirmed the arrival of their fourth child via an Instagram post that showcased her without the baby bump, standing alongside Reynolds and his mother. However, until now, they had kept the details about their new baby under wraps.

The couple already shares three daughters: James, nine; Inez, seven; and Betty, four. Interestingly, their daughters’ names were famously revealed by close friend Taylor Swift in her 2020 album, “Folklore,” where she sang about a fictional love triangle between three teenagers named James, Inez, and Betty.
During a “Today” show appearance in March, Reynolds joked about Swift’s influence on their baby-naming process, suggesting they were waiting for her to announce the name. This humorous approach highlighted the couple’s playful nature.
Since welcoming Olin in February 2023, Reynolds has spoken about adjusting to life with four children. He mentioned that the transition from three to four kids was not as challenging as expected, comparing it favorably to the jump from two to three children. Both Reynolds and Lively come from large families themselves, which influenced their desire for a big family.
