It was one of the best-kept secrets in Hollywood for more than a year. Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds had their fourth child in early 2023, but managed to keep the child’s sex and name under wraps.

Now Deadpool star Ryan has finally spilled the beans, revealing that baby number four is a son named Olin. They have three daughters – James, nine, Inez, seven, and Betty, four.

At the premiere of his latest film, Deadpool & Wolverine, the actor mentioned his whole family in a speech, thanking his wife Blake, 36, and “my kids James, Inez, Betty, Olin, who are here.”

Inez and Olin are actually in the film, playing younger variants of Deadpool, while Blake has a cameo as Lady Deadpool.

Meanwhile, Ryan also opened up about having a son in an interview with a fan of Wrexham AFC, the Welsh football club he co-owns. Ryan, 47, talked to mental health campaigner John Bell about the suicide of his son Jake and said, “I want to share with you that I, too, have a son. Boy, John, if I love him one-tenth as much as you love Jake, I feel like I’ve done a pretty damn good job.”
