Ryan Reynolds teases fourth child's name, credits Taylor Swift's lyrics

Actor Ryan Reynolds known for his wit both on and off the screen, left fans intrigued during his appearance on the Today Show on Monday.

The spotlight turned to Reynolds and Blake Lively's fourth child, whose name is still shrouded in secrecy.

During the interview, shared on YouTube, hosts Savannah Guthrie and Hoda Kotb prodded Reynolds about the elusive name.

Guthrie playfully referenced Taylor Swift's habit of incorporating the names of Reynolds and Lively's children into her music, particularly in her song 'Betty' from the album 'Folklore.'

Responding to Guthrie's query about whether Swift's latest album, 'The Tortured Poets Department,' might reveal the fourth baby's name, Reynolds quipped, "We always wait for Taylor to tell us what the child's name is, and I'll say this: We're still waiting."

The couple's decision to keep their children's names a secret until the completion of Swift's track 'Betty' was revealed by Reynolds in a previous interview.

He emphasised their strategy of offering "no access to outside information" to maintain compliance from their children.

While details about their youngest child remain under wraps, Reynolds hinted at the arrival of their fourth baby during a social media announcement for his new series, "Bedtime Stories with Ryan," last June.
