I, as a long-time fan of both Taylor Swift and Blake Lively, have been absolutely captivated by their beautiful friendship that has blossomed over the years. Taylor’s music has been a constant source of joy and inspiration for me, while Blake’s charm, wit, and talent never fail to leave me in awe.


There’s only so far new money goes.

Regarding Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds‘ childcare for their daughters James, 9, Inez, 7, Betty, 4, and their newest addition born in 2023, Taylor Swift is not known to be an affordable choice when it comes to babysitting.

Finally, when Hugh Jackman, Ryan Reynolds’ “Deadpool & Wolverine” co-star, teased that the “Last Great American Dynasty” singer was actually their family’s nanny, Reynolds came up with a witty retort.

In the interview with TopMob News, the 47-year-old humorously commented, “That’s quite expensive, I’m told.” The accountant supposedly used the term “cost-prohibitive,” but in simpler terms, he might have meant, “Absurdly costly! Why would you even consider that? I’m no longer your accountant.” (Don’t miss Hugh and Ryan on TopMob News tonight, July 22 at 11 p.m.)
