How Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds are raising their 4 kids: the Hollywood couple keep their daughters (and new baby) out of the spotlight – but they still know Taylor Swift as ‘Aunt Taylor’
- The multimillionaire Hollywood couple share 3 daughters, James, Inez and Betty, and a mystery fourth child born earlier this year – and don’t want them to be nepo baby child actors
- The girls feature in Taylor Swift’s song lyrics and get shout-outs at her concerts, and they love Disney’s Frozen, ‘Baby Shark’ – and picking out all-pink #Barbiecore outfits for their mum
Even Lively acknowledges that her children don’t realise quite how fortunate they are: “When my kids are giving me attitude, I try to tell them that I’m real-life royalty and that they’re lucky that I’m raising them,” she told Vogue. “They don’t buy it.”
The couple subtly announced the latest addition to their family earlier this year when they posted photos of Lively on Super Bowl day suddenly sans baby bump, per People. In keeping with their approach to date, they seem to be keeping the baby’s name and gender a secret for as long as possible.
So, who are Lively and Reynolds’ three older children, and what have they said about how they’re raising them?

James – recognisable for her mass of blonde curls – is named after Reynolds’ father, who died soon after she was born. She also has her dad “wrapped around her finger”. “I truly worship that kid. It’s terrible,” he confessed to Entertainment Weekly in 2016. “She says ‘dada’ and I will walk through a cement wall to get to her.”
