Ryan Reynolds has recalled a ‘sweet’ comment Taylor Swift made about being godmother to his children with his wife Blake Lively.
Blake, 37, married Ryan, 48, in 2012 and they have since welcomed four children: daughters James, nine, Inez, eight, Betty, five, and son Olin, one.
For years, Blake has been a member of Taylor’s star-studded women’s team, including names like supermodel Gigi Hadid and actress Zoe Kravitz.
Taylor released a song called Betty in 2020 as a tribute to Blake and Ryan’s youngest daughter, and the lyrics also included the names James and Inez.
Now Ryan has shared his reaction to the touching moment Taylor announced to the world that she was the children’s godmother.
The 34-year-old pop star broke the news in an Instagram post promoting Ryan’s latest blockbuster, Deadpool & Wolverine, starring him and Hugh Jackman.

For years, Blake has been a member of Taylor’s star-studded women’s team; The couple is pictured last year attending the premiere of Beyoncé’s Renaissance tour concert film.
Recalling the comment on social media, Ryan joked, “I actually need that one on my tombstone,” in an interview with Deadline.
In Taylor’s original post, she named Deadpool’s alter ego and wrote, “Shout out to Wade Wilson aka my godkids’ sperm donor!”
Recalling the viral moment, Ryan shared that Taylor is ‘godmother to my daughters,’ without indicating whether she has the same role in Olin’s life.
“But yeah, that was really sweet, not only was it sweet, it was like… you could probably quantify a box office based on Taylor just doing something like that.”
In fact, Deadpool & Wolverine proved to be a runaway success, crossing the billion-dollar mark to become the highest-grossing R-rated film of all time.
Shawn Levy, who directed three of Ryan’s recent films, including Deadpool and Wolverine, has revealed that he is Olin’s godfather, via Variety.
Blake appears in Deadpool & Wolverine as a character named Ladypool, and Inez also makes a surprise cameo as Kidpool.
While the movie was in theaters, Ryan posted a sweet photo of him and Inez in their costumes on set, clearly deep in conversation.
Blake and Ryan share daughters James, nine, Inez, eight, Betty, five, and son Olin, one; The couple is pictured with their two oldest children at Ryan’s 2016 Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony.

The 34-year-old pop star broke the news in an Instagram post promoting Ryan’s latest blockbuster, Deadpool & Wolverine, starring him and Hugh Jackman.
In Taylor’s original post, she named Deadpool’s alter ego and wrote, “Shout out to Wade Wilson aka my godkids’ sperm donor!”
‘The only co-star I argued with. Most people think Kidpool is the dirtiest. But she’s also pretty good at talking back and never taking out the trash,’ he joked.
Although Ryan is known for his constant pranks in interviews and on social media, he has a famous neighbor who is not very impressed with his sense of humor.
“It’s not so funny in real life,” said Martha Stewart in Bilt Rewards‘November Free Rental Game Program. ‘No, he’s not that funny. He is very serious.
Martha, who has a farm near Ryan and Blake’s home in upstate New York, added: “He’s a good actor. He can act strange, but he’s not funny.
Ryan reacted on X, formerly Twitter, with a joke: “I don’t agree with her.” But I tried it once. The woman is unexpectedly lively. He really closed the gap after about a mile.”
Sources have said that Ryan, who has spoken publicly about his battle with anxiety, prefers to be “quiet rather than on all the time” in his private life.
