Ryan Reynolds has confirmed the name of his and Blake Lively's fourth child at the Deadpool & Wolverine premiere.
The 36-year-old Gossip Girl star and the 47-year-old Deadpool actor, who already shared three daughters - James, seven, Inez, five, and Betty, two, welcomed their fourth child in February last year.
At that time, Lively showcased a blossoming baby bump in a series of photos shared on social media.
“Puppy Bowl Sunday 2023, been busy,” she captioned some snapshots of her family’s Super Bowl celebration.
Reynolds and Lively's love story began in 2010 when they met while filming Green Lantern. The couple got engaged and married in 2012.
Reynolds spoke about the importance of spending time with his children, which influenced his decision to take a break from Hollywood.
"The biggest thing for me, and I know you have kids as well, is that I don't want to miss this time with my kids," he told LinkedIn News Senior Editor at Large Jessi Hempel, referring to his sabbatical.
He also emphasized the desire for a normal family life: "I want my kids to have a pretty normal schedule. For many years when my wife Blake would shoot a film, I would not shoot a film and I would be with the kids and vice versa.
"So we would sort of trade-off. We never really worked at the same time. But always we were away. So the kids were away too," he explained.
Well, Reynolds has now shed light on the name of his fourth child as he attended the Deadpool & Wolverine premiere in New York on Monday, per Page Six.
“I want to start by saying thank you to my wife Blake, who is here,” he said onstage.
He continued: "I want to thank my kids James, Inez, Betty, Olin, who are here. I hope that, if I’m lucky, this moment will be the most traumatic thing — that is, the contents of this movie — that happens in your wondrous life. I love that my entire family is here.”
Hello! Magazine states: "Olin is a Nordic name which means 'ancestor's heir,' or 'to inherit.'"
Interestingly, the sex of Olin hasn't been disclosed, but many believe it to be a boy based on the name.
Reynolds and Lively may not be done expanding their family just yet. On Monday, the Free Guy actor expressed his desire for more children.
“As many little heartbeats as possible, just running around, wrecking stuff in the house. I love it. Let’s have more,” he told E! News.
However, the couple likely won’t be asking their friend Taylor Swift to babysit. According to Reynolds, she charges a hefty fee.
“The cost of that is … I believe the accountant said, ‘Cost-prohibitive,’” he joked. “But I think what he meant was, ‘Cost-insane-what-are-you-doing-I’m-no-longer-your-accountant.’”
