'Weird Name': Ryan Reynolds Officially Reveals Name of His & Blake Lively's 4th Child, Sparking More Questions

The cat is finally out of the bag! Ryan Reynolds has officially revealed the name of his fourth child, sending fans into a frenzy. While the world now knows the name of the newest Reynolds-Lively addition, one burning question remains: boy or girl?

Ryan Reynolds has once again charmed fans by revealing the name of his and wife Blake Lively's youngest child. The big reveal happened on July 22 during the highly anticipated "Deadpool & Wolverine" premiere in New York.

As Ryan stepped on stage with his co-stars, he took a heartfelt moment to acknowledge his beloved wife, Blake, and the support she provides. "I want to start by saying thank you to my wife Blake, who is here," Ryan began, drawing a warm reaction from the audience.

He added a playful note about her outfit, saying, "Her outfit is amazing—spoiler alert," which elicited laughter from the crowd. In a touching tribute, Ryan also expressed his love for their children: daughters James, Inez, and Betty, as well as their fourth child, Olin.

"I want to thank my kids James, Inez, Betty, and 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," he said with a smile, adding, "I love that my entire family is here."

The revelation of their fourth child's name, Olin, has sparked a flurry of reactions on social media. Fans have been quick to share their thoughts, with opinions ranging from puzzled to appreciative.

"Seriously with these names? Yeesh!" exclaimed one surprised fan. Another echoed the sentiment, "I'm sorry, I love these two, but the names they pick for their kids... These girls are going to struggle."

Some even found humor in the name choice, with one person joking, "Ha ha.. weird name. My Mom worked for Olin Winchester for years.. that's all I can think of." Another even joked, "Loving the hillbilly names."

One critic harshly noted, "I'm sorry. All their children's names are horrible." Another asked, "Is it me, or do they have the most random and worst names for their kids?"

However, not all reactions were critical. Some fans embraced the uniqueness of the name. "Olin is such a weird but cute name," wrote one admirer. Another commented, "Olin is a nice name." Curiosity about the baby's gender also flooded the comments, with many fans eagerly asking, "Is it a boy or a girl?"

While Ryan and Blake have revealed the name of their fourth child, the baby's gender remains a mystery. Back in February 2023, when Olin was born, Ryan made an appearance on "POWER LUNCH."

When one of the hosts inquired about the baby's gender, Ryan laughed and quipped, "I ain't telling. This isn't a birth announcement." He clarified their approach by adding, "We didn't make a birth announcement. We just posted a photo and the media sought of did what it does."

Ryan's revelation of their fourth child's name has been eagerly awaited. In May, during an appearance on the "TODAY" show, he dropped a hint about the toddler's name.

Co-host Savannah Guthrie asked if he could share the name or if they should wait for Taylor Swift to reveal it in one of her songs, as she had done with the names of Ryan and Blake's older children on one of her albums.

When asked if Taylor had hinted at the baby's name on her latest album, Ryan humorously replied, "We always wait for Taylor to tell us what the child's name is, and I'll say this: We're still waiting."

Though Ryan and Blake live under the spotlight, they have successfully kept their children out of the public eye. Yet, in May, the couple's daughters made a rare public appearance at a concert, instantly capturing attention with their striking resemblance to their mother.

The "Age of Adaline" actress was spotted on Wednesday, May 29, attending Taylor's Eras Tour show in Madrid with her eldest three. Videos circulating on social media showed the family enjoying the concert from the VIP ground section.

The mother and daughters seemed to be enjoying the performance as they socialized and exchanged bracelets. Blake kept her look casual yet stylish for the outing, wearing a crisp white button-up shirt, jean shorts, and gold-colored hoop earrings.

Her blonde hair was styled in a pretty down-do, with some clips showing it let loose with a side part. The relaxed yet chic ensemble perfectly complemented the lively atmosphere of the concert.

Fans were quick to notice the strong resemblance between Blake and her daughters, flooding social media with comments. Admirers gushed over the girls, saying things like, "They have their momma's face. So cute," "Blake [with] her minis," "They're so grown up," and "I love it, the girls are so adorable."

Adding to the excitement of the evening, Taylor gave a special shout-out to the Reynolds-Lively children during her performance. Taylor referenced her song "Betty" from the album "Folklore," which includes the names of the couple's three older kids, James, Inez, and Betty.

The crowd erupted in cheers as Taylor mentioned, "I have to say that on Folklore some of my favorite characters are named James, Inez, and Betty."

Meanwhile, Ryan has been candid about his experiences with fatherhood. In an interview, the "Deadpool" actor shared humorous stories about handling the kids solo while Blake took a well-deserved break.

He jokingly referred to himself as a "single dad" and compared his situation to a Reba McEntire song. Ryan recounted taking the kids to the park and teasingly that their mom had left when they were young, a remark that had the interviewers in stitches.

Despite the jokes, Ryan expressed genuine enjoyment of the quality time spent with his children. "No one died, which was nice," he quipped, adding, "And four kids, it’s just a zoo! You just surrender 24/7."

He also humorously commented on the perpetual state of illness that seems to accompany having multiple young children, saying, "When we had our fourth, I was so happy because I always wanted to make sure we had someone on hand to give me strep throat. And now we've recovered."

Back in February, Ryan again took on solo parenting duties when Blake traveled to the Super Bowl with Taylor to watch her boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs player Travis Kelce. Blake humorously chronicled her trip on Instagram. She noted that it was her first time traveling away from her children and sharing funny anecdotes about her experiences.

The close-knit friendship between Blake, Ryan, and Taylor and their humorous approach to parenting continue to endear them to fans. Their public appearances and interactions provide a glimpse into their family life, filled with love, laughter, and a touch of celebrity glamour.
