In a lighthearted interview on the Today show back in 2016, Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds, known for their wit and humor, playfully referred to themselves as “breeders.” Both hailing from larger families, with Lively coming from a family of five and Reynolds from a family of four, the couple had consistently expressed their desire to build a substantial family of their own.
During the interview, Lively shared a laugh as she quipped about their burgeoning household, stating, “I’m one of five kids. My husband is one of four, so we’re officially breeders.” With her characteristic charm, she jokingly suggested that interested individuals could visit their website to procure a share of their offspring, adding, “You can go on our website, and we will give you some of our children.” This remark captured the loving and playful banter between the couple and their readiness to embrace both the joys and challenges of parenthood.
Over the years, Lively and Reynolds remained true to their aspirations, and their family grew accordingly. They welcomed their first child, a daughter named James, on December 16, 2014, and continued to expand their brood.
In the wake of their good-natured proclamation, the couple’s family did indeed grow, with the recent addition of their fourth child. The couple managed to keep the pregnancy discreet, subtly welcoming baby Reynolds during the transition from 2022 to 2023. As of now, the name of Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds’ fourth child has not been publicly disclosed, as they have chosen to keep it private.
The couple usually maintains a private stance regarding their family matters, occasionally sharing insights about their kids through interviews and social media. While they have shared a few pictures of their children on online platforms, they tend to be cautious about revealing their identities or providing extensive details about them.
In a conversation in 2021, Reynolds expressed his deep fondness for being a father to daughters. Additionally, Blake Lively has recently unveiled a new product that appears to be influenced by the fatigue stemming from her parental responsibilities.
