Ryan Reynolds has confirmed the sex of his fourth child with wife Blake Lively after sharing the infant's name earlier this week. The Hollywood star made the admission as he opened up about becoming a dad again 16 months after the couple welcomed the baby in 2023. Ryan discussed parenthood in a touching new interview with John Bell who founded charity Walking 4 Hope after the death of his son Jake Bell who was a huge Deadpool fan.

Ryan originally connected with John after hearing his story and helping him to raise awareness and fundraise for his charity. Ryan shared the chat on his social media as the two men discussed being fathers, with Ryan sharing his admiration for John. He said: "I want to share with you that I too have a son, and if I love him one tenth as much as you love Jake, I feel like I’ve done a pretty damn good job.

" Ryan had already revealed that the couple's latest addition to their family was named Olin at the New York premiere for his new movie Deadpool & Wolverine. The moniker is Nordic and traditionally used to name a male. Olin joins their three other children James, nine, Inez, seven, and Betty, four.

The news comes after Blake shared her excitement with her fans as she praised Ryan for being the "most romantic man on the planet." She accompanied him to the New York premiere of the latest MCU offering to show her support for him and was left ecstatic when he facilitated a meet and greet between her and *NSYNC on the night.
