Deadpool star Ryan Reynolds has confirmed his wife Blake Lively has given birth to their fourth child.

The actor, 46, who married Gossip Girl actress Lively in 2012, also announced his new series Bedtime Stories With Ryan on Thursday.

On Twitter, he wrote: “The idea for a show made to help everyone fall asleep was born the same day as my fourth child.

“I can’t wait for you to watch Bedtime Stories, premiering June 20th on @MaximumEffort Channel on @fubotv.”

In July 2021, Reynolds joined a long list of celebrities who have read a CBeebies Bedtime Story when he recited Maurice Sendak’s Where The Wild Things Are.

The BBC programme features guests reading a children’s tale at night.

Lively and Reynolds, who co-starred in 2011’s Green Lantern, are already parents to daughters James, Inez and Betty.

The 35-year-old actress had previously suggested in a February social media post that she had “been busy” alongside a baby emoji and a picture with Reynolds.

Reynolds did not confirm the sex of the new baby.

The Canadian-born actor was previously married to Black Widow star Scarlett Johansson, 38, from 2008 to 2011.

In recent years, Reynolds and his fellow actor Rob McElhenney – also the creator of It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia – have invested into Welsh football club Wrexham which has since been promoted into the Football League.

The pair took over the club from the Wrexham Supporters Trust in February 2021.
