BREAKING NEWS: Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively finally reveal unusual name of baby after 16 months

The Wrexham co-owner let slip the name during a movie premiere

Ryan Reynolds has finally revealed the name of his fourth child with actress wife Blake Lively, nearly a year and a half after they welcomed the baby into the world.

The Hollywood couple had kept their new baby’s name and gender a secret since the birth in February last year. But Wrexham co-owner Reynolds has now let slip by thanking his wife and four children at the premiere of his new film Deadpool & Wolverine.

Taking to the stage at the premiere in New York on Monday, the Green Lantern star firstly paid tribute to Lively and their three daughters: James, nine, Inez, seven, and Betty, four. But it was the fifth name out of Reynolds’ mouth that caught fans’ attention

‘I want to start by saying thank you to my wife Blake, who is here. I want to thank my kids James, Inez, Betty, Olin, who are here,” said the actor, according to Variety.

“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 lives.”

The name Olin is of Nordic origin and means ‘ancestor’s heir’ or ‘to inherit’. It is predominantly used as a male name, but neither Reynolds nor Lively have confirmed the gender of their fourth child.

In fact, Lively – who has starred in Gossip Girl and The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants – never officially revealed that she had given birth to the couple’s fourth child, having announced the pregnancy in September 2022. She instead dropped a hint in an Instagram post, showing her without a baby bump as she wrote that she had “been busy”.

Reynolds later confirmed the birth as he announced his new series Bedtime Stories with Ryan. He joked on X: “The idea for a show made to help everyone fall asleep was born the same day as my fourth child. I can’t wait for you to watch Bedtime Stories, premiering June 20th on @MaximumEffort Channel on @fubotv.”

The couple met on the set of Green Lantern and started dating the following year before getting married in September 2012 and welcoming their first child James two years later. Their second child Inez followed in September 2016 with Betty born in October 2019.
