    In case you didn’t know, back in February 2023, Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds announced that they had w elcomed their fourth child together — but did not reveal the baby’s name or sex.

    The two stars also share three daughters: 9-year-old James, 7-year-old Inez, and 4-year-old Betty, and over the years, their close friend Taylor Swift has referenced the children in her songs.

    For example, James can be heard at the start of Taylor’s 2017 song “Gorgeous,” which was recorded when she was 2 years old.

    Then, in 2020, Blake and Ryan allowed Taylor to reveal Betty’s name to the world via her Folklore album.

    In her song “Betty,” Taylor name-checks three characters involved in a high school love triangle: James, Inez, and Betty.

    Attentive fans quickly realized that James and Inez were Blake and Ryan’s two oldest children, so they theorized that their third, who had been born nine months earlier, was named Betty.

    Shortly after Folklore ’s release, Taylor confirmed this during an appearance on a country radio station. Ryan later told SiriusXM that it was “an honor” for Taylor to reference his children in this way, and that he and Blake “trust her implicitly.”

    So, when Taylor released her latest album, The Tortured Poets Department , in April of this year, it is perhaps unsurprising that fans immediately started to speculate that the name of Blake and Ryan’s fourth child was hidden somewhere in the 31 tracks.

    The singer mentions no less than 35 potential names throughout the album, but a month after its release, Ryan confirmed that their little one’s name is not one of them .

    During an appearance on the Today show, Ryan joked: “We always wait for Taylor to tell us what the child’s name is, and I’ll say this: We’re still waiting.”

    And now, 17 months after the couple announced their baby’s birth, Ryan has officially revealed the name of their newest addition.

    Speaking at the New York premiere of his latest movie, Deadpool & Wolverine , on Monday, the actor casually shared the name as he shouted out his family.

    "I want to start by saying thank you to my wife, Blake, who is here,” he said from the stage before the screening. "I want to thank my kids, James, Inez, Betty, Olin, who are here.”

    He then joked: “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 life. I love that my entire family is here."

    While it is unclear whether Olin is a little boy or a girl, it is traditionally a male name of Scandinavian origin.

    And although Olin is currently the youngest in the Lively-Reynolds household, they may not be for long, with Ryan revealing in a recent interview that he wants as many more kids as possible.

    “The more the merrier, I love it,” he told E! News . "As many as possible. As many little heartbeats as possible, just running around, wrecking stuff in the house. I love it. Let’s have more!”
