Spring is in full bloom in the Reynolds-Lively household. 

Want to see some impressive artwork? Look at this painting by Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds’ daughter, Betty! Actress Colleen Hoover recently shared a glimpse of it on Instagram. The watercolor painting features a detailed orange blossom, beautifully created with shades of green, orange, and pink.

Alongside the snap, the 38-year-old gushed, “My 6-year-old.” 

Blake Lively, who shares three children – James (11), Inez (9), and Olin (3) – with her husband Ryan Reynolds, often gives her fans glimpses into her family life.

Blake Lively shared a funny April Fool’s Day prank her and Ryan Reynolds’ four kids played on her. She posted a video showing her toilet seat covered in pink markings and multiple layers of plastic wrap underneath. Jokingly, she blamed herself, saying, “I really shouldn’t have taught them how to use a calendar!”

Despite the everyday chaos of family life, Blake has said her children have actually played a significant role in her success.

In a 2022 interview with Forbes, she shared that becoming a mother helped her feel more comfortable and confident in her own body. While she still experiences insecurities, she feels incredibly grounded and at peace with herself.

Anna Kendrick, known for her role in Another Simple Favor, shared that becoming a mother boosted her confidence in all her professional endeavors, from acting to her business ventures.

She explained that becoming a parent and maturing made her prioritize work that involved strong partnerships and allowed her to have creative control.

During a 2018 appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Ryan Reynolds jokingly claimed that if you watch Frozen in reverse, it’s surprisingly a scene-for-scene recreation of The Exorcist. He mentioned he’s seen Frozen countless times with his daughters.

Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively first publicly introduced their daughters, James and Inez, on December 15, 2016, at Reynolds’ Hollywood Walk of Fame star ceremony – a place where many private celebrities choose to reveal their children to the world. During his acceptance speech, Reynolds turned to his wife and shared, “You make everything better – absolutely everything in my life. You’ve given us two amazing children, and you’ve made me the father I always dreamed of being, even though I thought I’d only be the fun uncle.”

Before their second daughter was born in August 2016, Ryan Reynolds shared with TopMob News how much joy parenthood brought him, saying, “Having a baby is the most grounding experience, and the best thing that could ever happen to a person.”

Becoming a mother is amazing, even with all the messes! A new mom shared with NW Magazine in 2016 that despite the challenges and tiredness, she feels incredibly lucky.

When Ryan Reynolds appeared on the Late Show with David Letterman in 2015, he enthusiastically talked about his wife and new daughter. He jokingly revealed his priorities, saying, “I would take a bullet for my wife. I could never love anything as much as I love her.” However, he immediately added that the moment he saw his daughter, he realized he’d use his wife as a shield to protect her if they were ever in danger.

As someone who’s spent years observing and sharing lifestyle tips, I always loved Ryan Reynolds’ take on parenthood. He once tweeted something that really resonated with me – and I think a lot of parents can relate! He said being a father is the most amazing feeling, but then playfully added that he did enjoy his child-free years too. It’s that honest, self-deprecating humor that makes his perspective so refreshing, and a good reminder that life changes with kids, and that’s okay!

In a 2016 interview on NBC’s Today show, Reynolds explained that he doesn’t mind handling the less pleasant tasks. He said he’s happy to do them, and while his partner feels the same way, he particularly enjoys taking care of things, even if it means being woken up in the middle of the night.

Fatherhood, he said, has been “amazing.”

Back in 2016, Reynolds described a rare and touching morning when his daughter really didn’t want him to leave for work—simply because her mother was still sleeping. He said it was incredibly difficult to walk away, and it genuinely hurt to leave her.

In 2016, Ryan Reynolds recounted a funny experience watching the Super Bowl with his daughter. She noticed multiple versions of him on screen and, unimpressed, jokingly referred to them as ‘useless boobs.’ Reynolds said she didn’t seem to care at all, simply saying, ‘Eh, whatever.’

In 2016, Ryan tweeted about how difficult it was to let his young daughter go off on her own for the first time, jokingly saying he was very emotional dropping her off at Burning Man.

Back in 2015, the proud father was full of praise for his daughter. He was asked if his son, James, had started talking yet, and he jokingly replied that they were only hearing baby sounds, not actual words. He also admitted to teasing her a lot.

In a 2015 Instagram post, Blake Lively playfully hinted at Ryan Reynolds being the father of their child, writing, ‘Since the day our baby was born, I’ve had a strong feeling you were the dad.’ She finished the post with a sweet, ‘#ILoveYouSoMuchItsSilly’.

Blake Lively described parenthood as a constant surprise. You’re never sure what’s coming next – a messy moment, a sweet smile, or a sudden outburst. She jokingly compared it to living with someone unpredictable, but emphasized that despite the challenges, she couldn’t imagine life without her children, as they grow up so fast. She even said she’d happily be an elderly mother if it meant she could keep her baby for longer.

Blake Lively shared in 2015 that family is what truly matters. Despite having unusual careers, she emphasized that everyone is connected through their families, and that’s a beautiful thing.

In a 2015 tweet, Ryan Reynolds shared a touching Father’s Day memory: his daughter’s smile. He said it meant more to him than any present, especially because he was about to spend the next six years traveling and writing a book about being a parent.

He once revealed to TopMob News, while promoting his 2015 film Woman in Gold, that he’d occasionally wake up and realize he’d been walking for five minutes without even realizing it.

It’s funny, isn’t it? You adore them. You’ll wake up several times during the night with a goofy grin, and I was just telling someone that. If anything else disturbed your sleep that often, you’d be furious. But when it’s your baby, it’s the most wonderful thing in the world.

Reynolds jokingly said in 2016 that many babies are conceived after a night of drinks and romance, but he and his wife were both sober when they conceived their child.

It’s incredible how universal parenthood is, yet how deeply meaningful it is for each individual. It’s funny, though, because you often feel embarrassed for celebrities when they talk about their children, acting like their experience is unique – as if no one else has ever had a baby before.

Reynolds admitted to being completely smitten with his young daughter, James, back in 2015. He joked about how many parents feel the same way, and then confessed to being utterly devoted to her. ‘I adore that kid,’ he said. ‘She has me wrapped around her little finger – it’s ridiculous. When she says ‘Dada,’ I’d do anything for her.’
