You don’t want to be in the skin of Ryan Reynolds right now. After all, he prophesied to himself that he would go “crazy” with four children. But now that prediction has come true: his wife, Blake Lively, has given birth for the fourth time.

Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds have become parents for the fourth time. Lively herself posted a photo series on her Instagram account, where she can be seen without a baby bump for the first time in months.

Regarding the pictures, which also show her husband and mother Tammy, but not the newborn, she writes: “We’ve been busy.” The family is now six: Lively and Reynolds are already parents to three daughters: Betty (3), Inez (6) and James (8). The name and gender of baby number four are not yet known.

The 35-year-old only announced her fourth pregnancy in September 2022, when she showed up at the “10th Forbes Power Women’s Summit” in New York City with a clearly visible baby bump. As a result, she repeatedly posted pictures of herself and her stomach, according to her own statements, also to forestall paparazzi photos. Reynolds then chatted about the upcoming birth in several interviews.

For example, the 46-year-old told “Entertainment Tonight” that his daughters were ready for their fourth child. “I’m very excited,” Reynolds said of his own feelings. He added wryly, “You have to be an idiot to do that four times.” It will be “crazy” with four children.

Reynolds made a name for himself in Hollywood as a star in films such as “Self is the Bride”, “Deadpool” or “Free Guy”. Lively, on the other hand, first started out in the series “Gossip Girl” before she also appeared in screen strips like “Savages”, “Forever Adaline” or “The Shallows”.

The two got together in 2011 – the year they also worked together on the comic adaptation “Green Lantern”. Just a few months later, in September 2012, wedding bells rang for the couple.
