Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively’s family just got a little bit more star-studded. Following a playful mention by Taylor Swift of the couple’s children as her “godkids,” Shawn Levy, the director of “Deadpool & Wolverine,” has revealed he’s the godfather to the stars’ youngest child, Olin.
In a recent interview with Variety, Levy, who has collaborated with Reynolds on several projects including “Free Guy” and “The Adam Project,” shared his delight in being part of the family’s lives. “Little by little, all of the Reynoldses started being a part of the movie, including their youngest,” Levy said. “As the proud godfather of Olin, that might be my favorite voice cameo.”
Olin, the fourth child of Reynolds and Lively, was born in February 2023. Levy’s revelation comes just weeks after Swift’s social media post that affectionately referred to Reynolds and Lively’s children as her “godkids.”
