Who Are Blake Lively And Ryan Reynolds’ Kids? All About James, Inez, Betty And Olin

by

As a lifestyle expert with a keen eye for celebrity dynamics and family bonds, I must say that Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds are setting the bar high when it comes to blending Hollywood stardom with a loving, fun-filled family life. Their children, James, Inez, Betty, and Olin, are growing up in an environment that seems to be brimming with love, laughter, and a touch of glamour.

Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds are two highly recognized celebrities in Hollywood, renowned for their lively spirits. As proud parents of four children – three girls and a boy – they have been married since 2012 and have fully immersed themselves in family life. Their children are growing up surrounded by affection and amusement.

1. James Reynolds, 9

The oldest child of the couple, referred to as James, made her arrival on December 16, 2014. Her name was chosen in honor of Reynolds’ late father, as he passed away shortly after James was born. Reynolds expressed his feelings by saying, “It felt fitting,” and added that his father had the chance to meet James before he passed away.

James graced the limelight for the first time as a celebrity at the tender age of two, featured in Taylor Swift’s album Reputation. It was the debut track, “Gorgeous”, where listeners quickly recognized the distinctive voice as belonging to James.

She vividly remembered attending a Taylor Swift concert and capturing her daughter’s voice among the crowd. Reflecting on the moment, she admitted, “We must have been quite a spectacle.” She described how they were both bouncing enthusiastically while she filmed with her phone, and Reynolds was waving his hands in the air.

It’s intriguing to note that at first, James and her siblings didn’t realize the extent of Swift’s popularity. Reynolds quipped, “One day they went to a concert, thinking it was just another hobby, only to discover, ‘Ohhhh, this isn’t just a pastime.'” Now, listening to “Aunt Taylor’s” music has become a significant part of their family life.

In January 2023, Reynolds escorted his daughter James to Wales for a football game at Wrexham. This touching father-daughter experience was immortalized in photos as they walked hand-in-hand among the spectators.

2. Inez Reynolds, 8

Inez, the one coming after, hails from New York City and was born on September 30, 2016. In a recent conversation, Lively clarified that her name includes a ‘z’, not an ‘s’.

Reynolds portrayed Inez as possessing a somewhat mysterious or complex aspect. In an interview on Live with Kelly and Ryan, he mentioned that her preference leans towards playing antagonists, specifically referencing her fondness for the character Gaston in Beauty and the Beast.

Reynolds pointed out that even Inez’s pediatrician acknowledged her unique character, remarking, “Ah, this one seems mysterious.” At just two years old, Inez displayed her playful side during a thorough security check at the airport, which Reynolds humorously likened to a seasoned criminal’s experience.

As a lifestyle expert, I’d put it this way: “Fashion, for me, is another facet of my personality, and that was evident in the eclectic ensemble Inez picked out for me last year – a floral skirt, hot pink sweatshirt, and black pumps. In the early hours of 2021, as I tried to dress our energetic four-year-old, she took the reins, and I ended up sporting this vibrant look. ‘When your little one decides to style you instead… at the crack of dawn,’ I joked in the caption.

Back in May 2023, Lively took James and Inez to catch Swift’s show in Philadelphia. While there, Swift warmly welcomed the girls by saying, “Hello James! Hello Nezzy!

3. Betty Reynolds, 5

Born on October 4, 2019, Betty is the third daughter in their family. Although Lively and Reynolds have not disclosed why they chose Betty as a name, Lively has mentioned that it holds family significance. Interestingly, she also named her line of non-alcoholic sparkling mixers ‘Betty Buzz’, honoring her father and grandmother, both named Betty.

It’s worth noting that Taylor Swift revealed Betty as a character in her song titled Betty. In this song, James and Inez are also mentioned. The lyrics suggest that Inez has spread gossip about someone, which can’t be trusted, and there’s a conversation between Betty and James about getting into a car for a drive.

In 2020 on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, Lively shared about the difficulties they experienced when Betty joined their family. She put it this way: “Our home life has undergone a bit of a shift, but it’s been beneficial.” Although James took to the new baby easily, Inez initially found it challenging.

4. Olin Reynolds, 1

On the 12th of February, 2023, the youngest member of the Reynolds family, Olin, was born. For over a year, details about their fourth child were kept under wraps by the couple. It wasn’t until Super Bowl celebrations that Lively subtly hinted at his arrival, sharing photos that suggested she no longer carried a baby bump.

2022 marked the unveiling of our forthcoming addition at the 10th Annual Forbes Power Women Summit, as Lively gracefully showcased her growing belly. Fast forward to July 2024, and during the New York City premiere of Deadpool & Wolverine, Reynolds made my heart race when he announced, “And yes, we’ve added a ‘mini-Reynolds’ to our family.

In June 2023, while promoting his latest series titled Bedtime Stories with Ryan, Reynolds acknowledged Olin as an inspiration. He disclosed that the concept for the show was born on the very same day as Olin’s birth.
