Ryan Reynolds finally reveals name of his and Blake Lively's fourth child

Ryan Reynolds has confirmed the name of his and Blake Lively’s fourth child, whom they welcomed 16 months ago.

The name of the youngster had been kept a closely guarded secret since being born in February 2023.

Now the cat is officially out of the bag, with the Canadian actor revealing it while at the premiere of latest movie, Deadpool & Wolverine, in New York on Monday.

“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,” Reynolds said while addressing the audience, 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,” he jokingly added.
