The Deadpool actor, 47, and Gossip Girl, 36, star already share three daughters - James, nine, Inez, seven, and Betty, four.

They welcomed their fourth baby to the world in February 2023, and never officially announced the birth or their newborn's gender and moniker.

At the premiere of Deadpool & Wolverine on Monday, Ryan let their fourth child's name slip as he thanked his wife and kids for their support.

The couple went on to tie the knot on September 9, 2012, and are still as loved-up as ever.
