Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds share four children.
During a Monday, May 13, guest appearance on Today, Reynolds stayed mum when it came to revealing the identity of his and Lively's youngest child, however, he did join co-hosts Hoda Kotb and Savannah Guthrie in playfully imagining Swift's potential future inclusion of baby No. 4 in one of her future songs.
"We always wait for Taylor to tell us what the child’s name will be. And, we’ll say this: We're still waiting," the Deadpool star quipped, confirming he and the actress were still choosing to keep their fourth kid's moniker — and gender — disclosed at this time.

The couple keeps their childrens' lives extremely private.
"I love my well-being and my home," Reynolds sarcastically stated, recalling how he and his brothers would behave like "arsonists and firemen."
While the Green Lantern actor had hopes of having another daughter, the IF star acknowledged he and Lively "never find out 'til [they're born]."

The identity of Reynolds and Lively's youngest offspring continues to remain unknown more than one year after the Gossip Girl actress gave birth to the baby in February 2023.
At the time, Reynolds confirmed he and the Shallows actress were "very excited" about welcoming their newborn, noting: "Look, we wouldn’t do this four times if we didn’t love it."
"Everybody’s doing great. Everybody’s actually doing fantastic," he gushed, as OK! previously reported. "If we haven’t figured it out by now, I think we’d be in deep trouble. But it’s a zoo over here."
