Ryan Reynolds Breaks Silence: Taylor Swift Reveals Her Role as Godmother to His Kids—But There’s a Twist!
Ryan Reynolds has finally opened up about his longtime friend Taylor Swift’s special role in his family, revealing that she is indeed the godmother to his daughters. After Swift herself shared the news in a heartfelt Instagram post, Ryan was quick to clarify which of his children are under Taylor’s godparenthood.
In an interview with Deadline published on November 13, Ryan confirmed that Taylor is the godparent to his three daughters—James, 9, Inez, 7, and Betty, 4. He jokingly added that he was so touched by Taylor’s shout-out to their friendship and family bond, he would like to have her words engraved on his gravestone.
“I need that one on my gravestone actually,” Ryan quipped, referencing Taylor’s Instagram message that not only celebrated her role as godmother but also promoted his and Hugh Jackman’s upcoming film Deadpool & Wolverine. Of course, Ryan couldn’t resist pointing out the sheer reach of Taylor’s 273 million Instagram followers, half-joking that “you can probably quantify a box office based on Taylor just doing something like that.”
The love and mutual respect between these two stars is undeniable. Back in July, Taylor revealed that she was the godmother to Ryan and Blake Lively’s children while sharing her excitement for Deadpool & Wolverine‘s release.
Her Instagram Story included a glowing endorsement of Ryan’s work, calling the film “the best work of his life” and adding that it felt like a “joy portal, a wild escape from reality, and an abs sandwich.” She wrapped up her note with a playful dig at Ryan’s character, Wade Wilson, referring to him as “my godkids’ sperm donor.”
But it’s not just Taylor supporting Ryan—he’s been just as vocal about his admiration for her. After attending one of Taylor’s Eras Tour concerts with Blake in New Orleans, Ryan shared a heartfelt post praising her performance.
Describing the concert as “an athletic event and a collective cultural phenomenon,” Ryan said it was a rare experience that brought people together in a world where such moments are hard to come by.
He also joked about how seeing Taylor perform live is a unique experience, adding, “To watch herself up there is something I wish she could know. But that isn’t physically possible, and even if it were, you can’t just get tickets last minute.”
The pair’s friendship is one of the most endearing in Hollywood, and this recent exchange only solidifies the bond between them. Fans are loving every moment of their playful banter and mutual admiration, and it’s clear that Ryan, Blake, and their kids are lucky to have Taylor as part of their family.
