Deadpool & Wolverine star Ryan Reynolds has finally confirmed the sex of the fourth child he shares with his wife Blake Lively.
The reveal comes a full 16 months after they welcomed their youngest in 2023.
The 47-year-old Ryan Reynolds shared the news during an emotional interview with John Bell, whose late son Jake Bell was a massive Deadpool fan.
Prior to the conversation, which Ryan Reynolds posted to his social media, he had also shared his youngest child’s name at the Deadpool & Wolverine premiere in New York City, which set off fan speculation about the child’s sex.
The actor has previously kept information about his three older children — James, nine; Inez, seven; and Betty, four — close to the vest.

After revealing that his youngest child was name Olin, an unusual Nordic name traditionally given to males, Ryan shared that he was the father of a young boy.
After discussing the death of Jake, Reynolds revealed that he understands even more now that he has a son.
‘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.’
