In their 14 years of marriage, Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively have grown their family to six.

Lively, who turns 39 on Aug. 25, 2026, welcomed her first child, daughter James, with the Deadpool star in 2014. Over the next decade, the actors had three more kids: daughters Inez and Betty, born in 2016 and 2019, and son Olin, born in 2023. They keep their children away from the spotlight, rarely sharing photos of their four kids on social media or discussing them in interviews.

“We want our kids to have the same normal life that we had,” explained the actress to Marie Claire in 2016. “We don’t ever want to rob them of what we had because then we’d feel really selfish.”

As Lively celebrates her 39th birthday, see her rare family photos with Reynolds and their kids over the years.

One, two, three, four, I declare a thumb war! Reynolds joked when his and Lively’s first child, James, was born, “Thumb wrestling isn’t always fair. Curiously, my hand is the small one.”

James is her mom’s mini-me. She’s also pretty famous on her own: She’s featured on Taylor Swift’s song, “Gorgeous.”

Reynolds said that James makes a great big sister: “It’s amazing to see my older daughter taking care of my younger one. The Lion King was right! The circle of life, it exists.”

The pair have chosen to raise their girls out of the spotlight.

“Ryan had a nice, normal upbringing, and we want our kids to have the same normal life that we had. We don’t ever want to rob them of what we had because then we’d feel really selfish,” Lively toldMarie Claire in 2016.

Cake or Steak?

That doesn’t mean that they don’t share some hilarious stories with us.

According to Lively, Inez is a little “baby viking“ who enjoys red meat. She explained that, for Inez’s first birthday, “[I] made a Cookie Monster cake … and [Inez] just looked at it and reached for a steak … She was hand-fisting two steaks. Her sleeves were dripping in blood from steak.”

Mom Knows Best

Lively shared with PEOPLE in 2017 that she doesn’t necessarily have a parenting style.

“I think it’s hard to slap labels on any parents because it’s just so tricky. It’s like every moment you’re figuring out what the heck you’re doing. You think, ‘Ooh, should I be more strict, or should I be more I don’t know, emotional?’ Or whatever it is. If anybody knows how to be a parent, I feel like grandparents really know how to be parents. But parents, you just figure it out as you go. So, I wouldn’t put a label on it,” the actress said.

Lively revealed the couple was adding to the family again when she stepped out pregnant in a yellow dress at the New York City premiere of Pokémon: Detective Pikachu in May 2019.

Reynolds has said that he and his wife of seven years don’t overlap projects, in order to keep their family together.

“Blake and I don’t do movies at the same time,” the Deadpool star said. “If she is doing a movie in Thailand and I am doing a movie in Vancouver we would just never see each other. We operate as a unit, and that works really well for us.”

Reynolds once said “if I could have nine daughters, I would be thrilled. Really, like I genuinely would be,” and it looks like his wish is close to being fulfilled in this sweet snap (which, yes, has a hand-drawn smiley imposed over his daughter’s actual face).

Lively and Reynolds, who welcomed their fourth child and first son, Olin, in 2023, continue to protect their children’s privacy online and in public. Occasionally, they will share faceless glimpses of their family of six. In March 2026, the Simple Favor actress recapped her time in the U.K. and included a picture of Reynolds giving one of their daughters a ride on his shoulders.

In an August 2026 post about Reynolds’ soccer club, Wrexham, playing at Yankee Stadium, she shared a sweet photo embracing her daughter.
