Ryan Reynolds, famous for his cleverness and comedy, sparked speculation on The Today Show by jokingly suggesting that Taylor Swift has yet to write a song immortalizing the name of his fourth child, despite having done so for their first three children.
While participating in a fun segment on the morning show, Reynolds was asked about his new addition’s name by hosts Hoda Kotb and Savannah Guthrie. He said jokingly that they always turn to Swift for the big reveal, playfully mentioning, “I’ll just say: we’re still waiting.”
Reynolds, always ready for a joke, quipped amusingly, “She writes a lot.” Why are we here? And I would not label Taylor as “lazy.”
Swift’s penchant for weaving personal anecdotes into her music is well-documented. The Grammy-winning artist famously disclosed the name of Reynolds and Blake Lively’s third daughter, Betty, in a track from her “Folklore” album. The song not only featured Betty’s name but also referenced her older sisters, James and Ines.

The couple’s fourth child, born in February 2023, remains nameless to the public, with neither gender nor name disclosed. However, Reynolds has previously expressed trust in Swift’s discretion when it comes to using his children’s names in her music.
In a candid interview with SiriusXM, Reynolds acknowledged Swift’s sensitivity to such matters, emphasizing that her songs, including “Betty,” bear no relation to their children aside from the namesake. This isn’t the first time Swift has drawn inspiration from the couple; her 2017 track “Gorgeous” features a snippet of James’ baby voice at the beginning.
Amidst the fervent speculation surrounding the yet-to-be-revealed name of the latest member of the Reynolds-Lively family, one undeniable truth persists: the involvement of Ryan Reynolds and Taylor Swift ensures a blend of anticipation and amusement that promises to endure. Within the enigmatic world of celebrity parenthood, the allure of guessing the chosen moniker is irresistible, heightened by the charismatic personalities of the famous parents.
Each passing day brings renewed curiosity and excitement, as fans eagerly await the unveiling of the newest addition’s name. Indeed, to be a Reynolds child is to be immersed in a world of endless intrigue and delight, captivated by the whimsical charm of its illustrious parents.
