How Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively’s Kids Played a Part in Deadpool

As a new parent myself, I can completely relate to Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively’s experiences of raising their young daughter James. The first time I dropped my own infant off at daycare was an emotional rollercoaster for me, just as it was for Ryan when he took his daughter to Burning Man. The uncertainty and fear of leaving your child in someone else’s care for the first time is a feeling that is both universal and deeply personal.


The below contains spoilers about Deadpool & Wolverine.

Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively‘s kids are already off to a marvelous start in Hollywood.

In the movie “Deadpool & Wolverine,” Ryan takes on the role of Deadpool, and Blake appears in a hidden part as Lady Deadpool from another reality. Simultaneously, their children – Inez, 7, Betty, 4, and Olin, born in 2023 – have minor appearances in the superhero production, making them younger siblings to James, who is 9 years old.

In case you missed it, Inez stole the show as Kid Pool, while Olin was unveiled as Baby Pool. And for some amusing twist, Betty is listed as Hugh Jackman’s animal trainer in the credits.

Before the world premiere of the Marvel film on July 22, Ryan expressed his heartfelt gratitude for having such a close-knit team.

He began by expressing his gratitude to his wife Blake, who was present, before continuing with his speech on stage. He also expressed his thanks to James, Inez, Betty, and Olin, his children who were in the audience. He hoped that this moment, which might be challenging due to the film’s content, would be the most difficult experience of their extraordinary lives.

He added, “I love that my entire family is here.”

Could a fifth member make an appearance in the future, you ask? Ryan suggested it’s not impossible.

“According to Ryan’s humorous remark to TopMob News during an interview, the more people or things there are, the better. He expressed his fondness for welcoming as many children as possible into his home, bringing joy and chaos in equal measure.”

If you’re curious about Blake’s feelings, she’s expressed her excitement by joking about having another baby, making it clear that she’s on board as well.

Yet, she remains committed and sincere in her dedication to her husband of a decade, particularly with regard to his most recent movie project.

“To my Y2K girls, I really should be focusing on being competitive since ‘it ends with us’ movie is releasing in three weeks. but, when it comes to our middle school crushes, feelings after having a baby, appreciation for nice men who use feminism as a tool, love for The Wizard of Oz, Succession, Sandy & Danny, driving with Avril playing in the background, being moved by the choreography of a certain boy band’s song, and the Baz Luhrmann fireworks that mark significant moments – all these things are deeply ingrained in us… It’s incredible.”

I’m thrilled and can’t help but feel a sense of pride as a former “Gossip Girl” cast member, watching how much Deadpool has adopted elements from our world. It’s amazing to see the influence we’ve had on such an iconic character. And let me tell you, I’ve given birth four times!

If you’re curious about Blake’s feelings, she’s expressed her enthusiasm by already agreeing, and she’s even made lighthearted remarks about having a fifth child.

Despite this, she truly committed when it comes to standing by her husband of eleven years, most notably with his newest film project.

As an obsessed fan, I’d write: “I can’t believe it’s only three weeks until the release of @itendswithusmovie! But you know what? My middle school crushes, my feelings after having a baby, my thoughts on men who claim to be feminists, my love for The Wizard of Oz, Succession, Sandy & Danny, and driving with Avril playing in the background – all these things bring me so much joy. The way the choreography of a certain boy band song gets me moving, or how Baz Luhrmann’s fireworks perfectly punctuate a moment, it’s all just too relatable! And let’s not forget about our seasonally-determined hair colors and the French technique used to paint them. It’s like all these pieces of my life are coming together in this beautiful, chaotic symphony.”

The former “Gossip Girl” star remarked with pride, “We’ve left our mark on ‘Deadpool’ in so many ways, it’s not easy to resist pointing that out. I’ve given birth four times and have never been more pleased.”

Raising a baby is like experiencing the unpredictable every day. You never know when you’ll be faced with messes or joyful moments, or when a smile will turn into tears. It can feel like living with an unpredictable person. But despite the challenges, once you have a baby, it’s hard to imagine not having one.
