Everything to Know About Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds' Kids

Ryan Reynolds and Blake Live are famously private about their children. Here's what we do know about their growing brood.

If anyone hit the gene pool jackpot, it's the Lively-Reynolds kids. There's no need to get into why—the pictures of the photogenic pair say it all.

Speaking of photos, Blake Lively recently revealed she had given birth to the couple's fourth child in one on Instagram. But it didn't include a sweet newborn photo. Instead, a clearly no-longer-pregnant Lively stood between Ryan Reynolds and his mom in a photo captioned "Puppy Bowl Sunday 2023...been busy." The rest of the slideshow featured a bunch of Lively's favorite Big Game dishes.

Fans quickly caught the drift and started congratulating the couple, who did not reveal the name or sex for the baby (they never find out beforehand, though Reynolds hinted he was "sort of hoping" for a girl on a TODAY appearance in late 2022). The move was classic Reynolds-Lively. The duo is famously private about their now-four children. Their good pal Taylor Swift arguably reveals more about the brood in her songs.

But like Swift, Reynolds and Lively have dished on their little ones here and there. Here's what we can tell you about the family of six.

How many children do Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively have?

Four. Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively, who tied the knot in 2012, became parents in December 2014 with the birth of their first daughter, James. They briefly joined the 2-under-2 club when Inez came along in September 2016 and welcomed Betty in October 2019. The two had another child in early 2023, but we don't know the name, sex or birthdate just yet. They revealed they were expecting in September 2022.

But we're unsure if Reynolds got around to cleaning between the announcement and the child's birth. In a recent episode of The Kelly Clarkson Show, Reynolds, like most parents of multiple, admitted, "The first one, everything's like perfect, and you set everything up, everything's sterilized," he says. "By the fourth, you're just like, oh, right this is happening—I should sweep or something."
