Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds are not just Hollywood royalty—they are also parents to one of the most talked-about celebrity broods. Their kids may not be in the public eye often, but that has not stopped curiosity from growing. While the couple is known for keeping things private, enough details have surfaced over the years to piece together a picture of their adorable little squad.

From unique names to rare public moments, each child has their own story. Who are they, and what has been shared about them so far? Here is everything known about their four children, from the firstborn to the newest addition.

Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds are Hollywood’s ultimate power couple, but their real legacy? Their four kids, who keep the internet buzzing without even trying. Since tying the knot in 2012, the pair has built a family that is just as charming (and hilarious) as they are. Blake Lively's kids may not be in the headlines frequently, but the moment a new tidbit comes out, it is always headline-worthy.

Like with their fourth baby's arrival, which was not revealed through a press release—it was all about subtlety. In February 2023, Blake Lively simply posted a photo without a baby bump, sending fans into detective mode. Taylor Swift also adds to the headline moments of the kids like when in July 2024, she casually referred to Reynolds as her “godkids’ sperm donor” on Instagram, confirming just how close she is to the family.

The couple also keeps fans entertained with their takes on parenting while fiercely protect their family's privacy. Like when talking to E! News, Reynolds said that he would happily have "as many as possible," picturing a house full of kids, “running around and wrecking stuff.” Meanwhile, Blake Lively shared in an interview with Vogue that motherhood has made her life “more intimate” and that juggling it all has been a wild but rewarding ride.

While there could be more little Reynolds running around in the future, for now, their four kids already have a touch of Hollywood magic surrounding them. From social media reveals, shared snaps from cozy family time to unexpected celebrity ties, here is everything to know about the mini Reynolds-Lively crew!

When Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively named their firstborn James Reynolds born on 16 December, 2014, people were curious. A traditionally male name for a girl? But for Ryan Reynolds, the choice was deeply personal. Speaking to Mr Porter, he revealed that James was named after his late father, saying it "felt right" to honor him in that way. He also spoke about how his dad even got to meet her before he passed, which made it all the more special.

Of course, Ryan Reynolds could not resist joking about the name choice. While speaking on Good Morning Britain, he shrugged off the curiosity, saying they were not really breaking new ground in celebrity baby names. He quipped that they “didn’t call her Summer Squash Meadowlark,” making it clear that the name James was pretty tame compared to some. But James Reynolds is not just Hollywood royalty by birth—she has already had her moment in the spotlight. 

At just two years old, she featured on Taylor Swift's track 'Gorgeous', where her adorable voice can be heard in the intro. Blake Lively later confessed that when they first heard James’ voice booming through stadium speakers at a Swift concert, she and Reynolds completely lost their cool. “We were so embarrassing,” she admitted on Good Morning America, saying they basically turned into full-on stage parents.

James Reynolds has grown up surrounded by music, so much so that for years, she reportedly did not even realize Aunt Taylor Swift was one of the biggest pop stars on the planet. Fast forward to 2024, and James Reynolds was seen jamming out with her family at the Eras Tour in New Orleans, clearly excited when 'Betty' played—a song that features her name along with her sisters, Inez and Betty, as reported by PEOPLE.

Despite having Hollywood parents and a world-famous godmother, James Reynolds upbringing is said to be normal—well, as normal as it can be when your dad is Deadpool. Speaking to the Hollywood Reporter, Ryan Reynolds said he and Blake Lively are looking to give their kids "as normal a life as possible", though they are growing up with way more luxuries than he did.

With a name that carries meaning and a childhood filled with star-studded moments, James Reynolds is growing up with a story as unique as her name.

Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds' second daughter, Inez Reynolds, has been keeping things interesting since the day she was born on 30 September, 2016. While they kept the details quiet at first, reports eventually surfaced revealing their newborn’s name as Inez, though some outlets mistakenly spelled it as Ines. The now eight-year-old has a personality that her dad described as "hilariously dark," in a 2019 interview with Kelly Ripa and Ryan Seacrest making her the resident mischief-maker of the Reynolds household.

In the same interview Reynolds joked about how Inez has a soft spot for movie villains—Gaston from Beauty and the Beast is her favorite he revealed. He also recalled this moment when their family pediatrician playfully once called her “shady” -and he did not exactly disagree. She is not only full of personality, she also has a flair for fashion.

Back in 2021, Lively shared a video showing that Inez Reynolds had taken over styling duties, dressing her mom in a pink rhinestone sweatshirt, a floral skirt, and fuzzy-heeled pumps at the crack of dawn. The internet had a field day with it. It is not just fashion though, Inez Reynolds was already making some moves in Hollywood with her big-screen debut as Kidpool in Deadpool & Wolverine (2024), following in Ryan Reynold’s superhero footsteps in the most fitting way possible, though Reynolds later faced intense backlash over her controversial lines in the film.

Fast forward to May 2023, and Inez Reynolds was having her own pop-star moment when Taylor Swift spotted her mid-performance in Philadelphia and shouted, “Hi Nezzy!”—a sweet moment that Swifties could not get enough of.  With a bold personality, a budding Hollywood moment, and a love for all things mischievous, Inez Reynolds is already stealing the spotlight in her own way.

Betty Reynolds is the third of Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds' four kids, and has got a name with quite a history. Born on October 4, 2019, Betty made headlines before she could even talk—all thanks to Taylor Swift. When Swift released 'Betty' on her 'Folklore' album in 2020, fans were quick to put two and two together speculating that the song featured all three of Lively and Reynolds’ daughters' names. It was an unexpected but fitting introduction for the little one. But Betty’s name carries even more meaning within the Lively family. 

Lively once shared that Betty is a deeply personal name in her family. Her dad, Ernie Lively, took a different last name when he married her mom, and she wanted to honor him in a meaningful way. She even named her sparkling drink brand, Betty Buzz, after her dad’s mother and sister, saying in a press release that, "Any success I have should be in a name that mattered to him."

Of course, every younger sibling has to find their place in the family dynamic. While big sister James Reynolds was excited, Inez Reynolds, Blake Lively revealed while speaking to Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show, was not immediately convinced about having another little sibling in the house. With a name tied to music, family legacy, and even a beverage brand, Betty is quite a star in her own right.

Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively pulled off the ultimate surprise with their fourth child born in 2023, Olin Reynolds. For over a year, no one outside their close circle knew his name—or even that he was a boy! The big reveal finally came at the Deadpool & Wolverine premiere in July 2024, where sources confirmed his name. Later that month, Ryan Reynolds confirmed Olin’s arrival in an Instagram post while expressing his connection to Wrexham AFC supporter John Bell.

The first clue about Olin’s arrival actually came much earlier. In February 2023, Lively shared a Super Bowl party snap with Reynolds and her mom—except this time, her baby bump was gone! Fans quickly caught on, realizing that Baby #4 had already arrived. But instead of making a grand announcement, the couple stayed silent, letting the internet do the detective work. Unlike their previous kids, whose names fit perfectly into Taylor Swift's song lyrics, Olin Reynolds did not get the same musical treatment—at least, not yet!

Even in the rare moments they mention Olin, they do it on their own terms. In June 2023, Reynolds casually mentioned his "youngest child" while promoting his bedtime story series. The man who plays Deadpool was embracing his softer side, reading bedtime stories with a talking sheep? Turns out, the idea was born the same day as Olin—a sweet nod to his newest family member.

Ryan Reynolds might be the king of witty one-liners, but when it comes to his kids, he is all heart. The Deadpool star has shared countless adorable moments with his four children, proving he is just as much a softie as he is a comedian. In a TIME tribute to Michael J. Fox, he revealed that James Reynolds, his eldest daughter, had fallen in love with Back to the Future, calling it her favorite film. 

On Instagram, he once shared a conversation where his daughters convinced him to take them to a pumpkin patch, only to announce they wanted to bring not one, but three classmates, each more chaotic than the last. With his signature humor, Reynolds joked about needing backup from another parent and even a cat!

During a visit to The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Reynolds confessed to having watched Frozen countless times with his daughters. He jokingly said that if you play the film backward, it is a shot-for-shot remake of The Exorcist. He also playfully tweeted about his experience as a dad, joking that being a father was "the single greatest feeling on earth—except for those wonderful years I spent without a child." 

On David Letterman's show, he did it again, jokingly quipping how he once told his wife he would take a bullet for her—until he saw their baby’s face and knew she would be his human shield instead. Despite the jokes, Reynolds never hides how much he adores fatherhood. During his Hollywood Walk of Fame speech, he thanked Blake Lively for giving him "the most incredible children" and turning him into "the father of his dreams" when he thought he was only capable of being a "fun uncle." 

In another rare sentimental moment, he once tweeted that on Father’s Day, his daughter smiled at him—before adding that it was all the gift he needed before disappearing for six years to write a parenting book. Whether he is roasting himself or melting over his kids, one thing is for sure: Reynolds is living his best dad life!

Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively’s kids might be growing up in the spotlight, but their parents make sure it is filled with love, laughter, and just the right amount of chaos. From Ryan Reynolds' comedic charm on screen to his hilarious parenting takes and Lively’s heartfelt moments, this family keeps proving why they are Hollywood’s most adored. Be it red carpet appearances or funny X confessions, every peek into their world just makes fans love them even more.
