The belief that men always desire sons remains prevalent, but this notion is far from accurate; many fathers take immense joy in raising daughters. Ryan Reynolds stands as a notable example of this. He proudly embraces fatherhood with his four daughters and openly expresses his contentment in not having sons.

Ryan Reynolds embodies the role of a loving father to his daughters. Together with his wife Blake Lively, they parent James, aged 7; Inez, aged 6; Betty, aged 3; and their fourth child, born in February 2023, whose name they’ve chosen to keep private. Reynolds made the decision to scale back his acting career, emphasizing the importance of being present for his children during their formative years.

In the lead-up to their newest addition’s arrival, Reynolds candidly expressed his desire for another daughter, rather than a son, during interviews. Drawing from his own experiences growing up as the youngest of four boys, he humorously highlighted the chaos that boys can bring to a household. Despite this preference, Reynolds reassured that he and Lively were prepared for any outcome.

In February 2023, the couple welcomed their fourth daughter, fulfilling Reynolds’ hopes. While her name remains undisclosed, speculation abounds. Notably, the couple has a tradition of incorporating family tributes into their children’s names, such as naming one daughter James after Reynolds’ late father and another Betty in honor of Lively’s late father.

With Taylor Swift, a close friend of Lively, having referenced the names of their first three daughters in her songs, fans speculated that the fourth girl might be named Daisy. However, this remains unconfirmed. Following the birth of their fourth child, Blake Lively shared bikini photos, prompting admiration for her swift post-pregnancy recovery and her radiant appearance.
