Ryan Reynolds Teases Name of 4th Baby with Nod to Taylor Swift: ‘We Always Wait for Taylor to Tell Us
THE ‘IF’ STAR JOKED ABOUT SWIFT INCLUDING HIS AND BLAKE’S LIVELY’S KIDS’ NAMES IN HER MUSIC WHEN ASKED ABOUT THEIR FOURTH CHILD ON THE ‘TODAY’ SHOW
The name of Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively’s fourth baby remains a mystery!
While appearing on the Today show on Monday, May 13, the IF actor teased the newest member of the couple’s family, when Savannah Guthrie and Hoda Kotb inquired about the child’s name.
“Taylor Swift keeps dropping it into lyrics!” said Guthrie, likely referring to Swift’s song “Betty” from the 14-time Grammy winner’s 2020 album Folklore, which includes his older three kids’ names.
After Guthrie asked Reynolds, 47, whether the new baby’s name is anywhere on Swift’s new album The Tortured Poets Department, he joked, “We always wait for Taylor to tell us what the child’s name is, and I’ll say this: We’re still waiting.”
The father of four went on to quip of Swift, 34, “She’s a prolific writer — I mean, what are we doing here? And ‘lazy’ is not a word I’d attach to Taylor.”
“Betty” not only features the name of Reynolds and Lively’s third child Betty, 4½, but also her older sisters Ines, 7½, and James, 9. The pair went on to announce they were expecting their fourth child in September 2022, and had welcomed the newest addition by February 2023.
