Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively welcomed their fourth child in February, 2023


Ryan Reynolds has lifted the veil on the gender of his youngest child with wife, Blake Lively!

Shortly after revealing the name of their last-born child, Olin, the Shotgun Wedding actor, in a latest clip, confirmed that his latest addition is a boy.

The Red Notice actor turned to his Instagram account on Friday, July 26, to share a video of documenting his heartfelt connection with John Bell, a Wrexham AFC fan, who channeled his sorrow over his son Jake’s passing into a positive and meaningful endeavor.


The clip featured Bell’s inspiring journey of creating an NGO, Walking 4 Hope, after the death of his son Jake, who struggled with mental health issues.

The organization "supports families and young people who find it difficult to deal with the pressures that day to day life presents," as per its website.

“Where do I start? He was just so funny, so comical — and we did everything together. He was my firstborn son. He was just absolutely everything to me,” said Bell when Reynolds asked him about his son.

After applauding Bell’s efforts to fight against mental health challenges, the Justice League actor disclosed that he, too, is a father to a son.

“I want to share with you that I too have a son and that if … 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,” told the actor.

Reynolds married actress Blake Lively on September 9, 2012. The couple shares four children, James, Inez, Betty, and Olin, together.
