Ryan and Blake first met on the site of The Green Lantern in 2010 and exchanged vows in 2012.

They're the proud parents of three girls James, Betty and Inez, and one son - Olin.

The couple welcomed their new baby in February 2023, but waited until recently to announce they had chosen the name Olin.

The pair were mocked on social media for the 'weird' selection - a Nordic name that refers to the heir to an ancestor.

Then, on the day that Deadpool & Wolverine was released in theaters, Ryan starred in a promotional video for the film and disclosed his baby is a boy.

He dropped the bombshell during a heartbreaking conversation with a man called Josh Bell, whose late son Jake was a fan of Deadpool.

'I want to share with you that I too have a son, and if I love him one tenth as much as you love Jake, I feel like I’ve done a pretty damn good job,' said Ryan.

The Age of Adaline actress shared the romantic detail about her husband while promoting her new film It Ends With Us, in which she plays florist Lily Bloom whose marriage goes from passionate to abusive. 

Blake has been heaping praise on her husband and recently joked that the only reason their marriage has lasted so long is because of the Deadpool actor's mother.

'It’s my longest companion in life. For 36 years and counting. And like any relationship, it’s healthiest when you take good care of each other. To love it well, I’ve found a system that has worked wonders for me, a hack of sorts through decades of working with the very best people in the industry, and silly amounts of trial and error.'
