Ryan Reynolds confirms Taylor Swift’s role in his family

Ryan Reynolds has officially confirmed that Taylor Swift holds a special place in his family—she is the godmother to his daughters James, 9, Inez, 7, and Betty, 4. The actor revealed this in a recent interview, further solidifying the strong bond between the actor, his wife Blake Lively, and the pop superstar.

The confirmation comes after Swift playfully trolled Reynolds on social media earlier this year, calling him “my godkids’ sperm donor” in a post supporting his movie Deadpool & Wolverine. The comment sparked curiosity about their friendship and connection, and Reynolds has now openly acknowledged the depth of their relationship, which extends beyond the red carpet and into his personal life.

Swift’s role in Reynolds’ family isn’t limited to just being a godmother to his daughters. Reynolds also shared that director Shawn Levy, who worked with him on Deadpool & Wolverine, is the godfather of their son, Olin, who was born last year. This close-knit group of friends and family clearly has deep ties, as evidenced by their frequent social gatherings and mutual support for one another’s projects.

Reynolds also took a moment to express his gratitude to Swift for the public show of support she gave his Deadpool 3 movie, which featured a highly anticipated collaboration between Reynolds and actor Hugh Jackman. The pop icon shared a post on Instagram praising the film, and Reynolds couldn’t help but note how much of an impact her endorsement likely had.

“Not just sweet,” Reynolds said of Swift’s gesture. “You can probably quantify a box office based on Taylor just doing something like that.” With over 280 million followers on Instagram, Swift’s social media influence is massive, and her endorsement undoubtedly provided a significant boost to the film’s visibility. It’s clear Reynolds recognizes the power of Swift’s presence, not only as a friend but as an influential figure in the entertainment world.

Their friendship has been well-documented over the years, with Swift and her boyfriend, NFL star Travis Kelce, frequently socializing with Reynolds and Lively. The two couples have been spotted together at various events, including Kelce’s NFL games, where Reynolds and Lively have shown their support for Swift and her partner. The actors and the singer have become known for their camaraderie, which has only grown stronger over time.

While Reynolds and Lively have always kept their personal lives relatively private, their bond with Swift is one of the rare glimpses into their circle of friends. Swift’s relationship with the couple is clearly one of mutual respect and affection, and her role as godmother to their children speaks volumes about the trust and closeness they share.

For her part, Swift has also been supportive of the couple’s endeavors. When she shared her initial joke about Reynolds being her “godkids’ sperm donor,” it wasn’t just a playful remark but a sign of how comfortable she is with Reynolds and Lively. She has also previously shown her love for their family, attending events and outings with them, and offering kind words of encouragement.

The friendship between these two stars, one from the worlds of Hollywood and the other from the realm of music, is a reminder that, beyond the glitz and glamour, some connections run deep. In an industry often filled with fleeting relationships and high-profile collaborations, the friendship between Reynolds, Lively, and Swift stands out as a testament to genuine affection and loyalty.

As the family dynamic grows, with the birth of their son Olin last year, Reynolds and Lively’s close circle of friends continues to expand. Having Taylor Swift as a godmother to their daughters and a close friend to their family will undoubtedly add to the warmth and love surrounding their children as they grow up.

Swift’s influence on social media, combined with her personal bond with Reynolds and Lively, continues to be a notable part of her star power. It’s clear that the support between these two families will only continue to grow, making their friendship one of the most heartwarming cross-industry connections in Hollywood today.
