“She is surrounded by friends that shower her with gifts for all the kids. She and Ryan are a favorite couple. It's a goal for many of Blake's friends to have what she has.” Blake and Ryan married on September 9, 2012, and the couple has three girls together: James, 8, Inez, 5, and Betty, 3.
Their third daughter Betty's name is a tribute to Lively's late father. We didn't know the name of the couple's third baby until Taylor Swift used all three names in her 2020 album folklore. Swift also used James' voice at the beginning of her 2017 track "Gorgeous"!

What songs did Taylor Swift wrote about Blake Lively's kids?

Reynolds and Lively, who have been married since 2012, share daughters James, eight; Inez, seven; and Betty, four. They welcomed their fourth child in February. Rosa Sanchez is the senior news editor at Harper's Bazaar, working on news as it relates to entertainment, fashion, and culture.
Blake made her fourth pregnancy announcement at New York Fashion Week with a perfectly flat stomach in September 2022 - having already become mommy to James, 7, Inez, 5, and Betty 2.
She was their second child – they had also welcomed a son, Eric, – and Elaine was mom to three children, Lori, Robyn, and Jason, from a previous marriage. But, deciding to buck tradition, Ernie chose to change his name to Elaine's, meaning the family all used the last name Lively.
Lively was born Blake Ellender Brown on August 25, 1987, in the Tarzana neighborhood of Los Angeles, California. Her mother, Elaine, worked as a talent scout, and her father, Ernie Lively, was an actor. Lively was named after her grandmother's brother.
The name has its origins in Portugal and is popular in Latin America. In recent popular culture, Inez was the name of Rachel McAdams' character in Woody Allen film Midnight In Paris (Blake starred in Allen's film Café Society this year). Blake and Ryan's eldest daughter, James, is two years old.
Taylor and Blake have been friends since 2015 when Blake revealed just how much of a massive Swiftie she is. Blake referenced Taylor's song 'Bad Blood' in an Instagram post and quickly had to clear up speculation she was throwing shade.

Reynolds and Lively married in 2012 and welcomed their first daughter, James, on Dec. 16, 2014. The little one made her public debut alongside her parents at Reynolds's Hollywood Walk of Fame Star ceremony right before her second birthday, and she obviously stole the show in the cutest outfit.
The music superstar has stayed very coy about her romance with the pro football player thus far, but she was spotted during the game leaning across to her actress friend Lively, whispering 'look at him'.
