Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds Share 4 Children — Details

Like many Hollywood couples, Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds are protective about the details they share with the public about their children. After being hounded by the paparazzi during her pregnancy, Blake has pushed back against people seeking photographs of her kids, but the duo has spoken about their family life before on talk shows.

That said, Blake and Ryan’s kids have risen to fame, especially within Swiftie fan circles, after Taylor Swift incorporated three of the children’s names into her song “Betty.” Now that Blake and Ryan have subtly confirmed the birth of their fourth child, here’s everything we know about their kids so far.

Since Blake and Ryan tied the knot in 2012, they have welcomed three adorable daughters: James, Inez, and Betty. While the name and gender of their fourth child is still unknown to the public, Ryan and Blake have gushed about being parents to young girls. During the Cannes Festival in 2022, Ryan joked, “I’m a parent of three girls. They’re wild. I think they have rabies sometimes.”

The eldest child, James, was born on Dec. 16, 2014. Ryan revealed to The Mr. Porter Post that their daughter was named after his late father, who died shortly after her birth. “It felt right,” he said at the time. However, Ryan did note that his father met James before he passed away.

James’ biggest claim to fame so far is being featured on Taylor Swift’s record “Reputation,” specifically, as the little voice saying “Gorgeous” in Taylor’s song, “Gorgeous.” Blake addressed the cameo on Good Morning America, responding to a viral video showing her and Ryan jumping up and down and cheering when their daughter’s voice played during Taylor’s stadium tour.

“We were very embarrassing,” Blake said. “This is the true, unfiltered version of our terrible stage-parent pride.”

Inez Reynolds was born on Sept. 30, 2016. Blake spoke to People Magazine shortly after the birth of her daughter to correct peoples’ frequent misspelling of Inez’s name. She said, “I had a new baby, Inez, with a ‘z’ even though everyone says it’s with an ‘s.’ I don’t know why. Please tell Wikipedia.”

Blake and Ryan have told hilarious stories about Inez’s adorable “inner darkness.” During an episode of Live with Kelly and Ryan, Ryan said that Inez has a fiery personality, to the point of being stopped for a secondary search at an airport and being called out by their pediatrician as “shady.”

“Our pediatrician, when she met Inez, she said, ‘Oh, this one’s shady,'” Ryan teased.
