Taylor Swift Reveals Her Special Role as Godmother to Blake and Ryan's Kids

Taylor Swift recently disclosed her special role as the godmother to her best friend Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds’ children: James (9), Inez (7), Betty (4), and Olin, who was born in 2023.

The Grammy-winning artist, 34, has been close friends with Blake, 36, and Ryan, 47, for a decade. Swift shared a heartfelt post on her Instagram Stories on July 25, celebrating Ryan Reynold's new movie *Deadpool vs. Wolverine*, which is set to premiere on Friday. In her message, she humorously referred to Reynolds as "Wade Wilson, aka my godkids’ sperm donor," a nod to his character in the *Deadpool* franchise.

Swift expressed her admiration, stating, "Over the past few years, I’ve seen one of my best friends pour every bit of his heart, soul, sweat, time, energy, jokes, pain, joy, rebellion, darkness, and magic into this film. He’s created the best work of his life, and it feels like a joy portal, an escape from reality, and an abdominal workout sandwich. I don’t know how he did it."

The ‘Cruel Summer’ singer joined Blake, Ryan, Hugh Jackman, and director Shawn Levy in a shared photo, lightheartedly commenting, "But that’s just Hugh for you! Other randoms crashed the photo, and we were too polite to ask them to leave."

Swift’s bond with the family is particularly strong, with Reynolds jokingly telling E! News that while Swift is essentially their babysitter, she’s also an "expensive" one.

This confirmation comes two months after Swift mentioned the Lively-Reynolds family during her Eras Tour show in Madrid on May 29, where she highlighted characters named James, Inez, and Betty from her *Folklore* album. Blake and her children were present at the show, underscoring the strong connection between them.

Taylor’s role as a godmother isn’t new. She’s also the godparent of Jaime King’s 9-year-old son, Leo Thames. Speaking to PEOPLE, King explained that choosing Swift was based on her morals, values, and work ethic, stating, "That’s the kind of person I want to guide and spiritually protect my child."

In recounting these heartfelt sentiments and humorous anecdotes, Swift reminds us of the depth of her personal ties beyond her musical career.
