Ryan Reynolds says his children are ‘proud’ of their dual citizenship
Ryan Reynolds And Blake Lively are raising their four children in New York, but he revealed that his little ones are all proud dual citizens.
“My children also have a Canadian passport, and they really feel connected to that,” said 47-year-old Reynolds Deadpool and Wolverine Co-star Hugh Jackman in a People interview published on Saturday June 1. “It’s a point of pride for them. They also spent much of their formative years in Canada and especially in Vancouver.
They were with Reynolds when he filmed the first two episodes Deadpool like The Adam Project in Vancouver. “I only had one child Deadpool 1 and I had two of them on Deadpool2, but hopefully we don’t do Deadpool 8 because I don’t want eight kids,” Reynolds joked.
He and Lively, 36, share daughters Betty, 4, Ines, 7, and James, 9, as well as a 1-year-old whose name has not been revealed.
Deadpool and Wolverine will reunite Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman for the first time since 2009’s Wolverine: Origins. Reynolds revealed in September 2022 that his real-life friend would be joining the film via a comedy announcement video. “Hey Hugh, wanna play Wolverine one more time?” Reynolds asked Jackman in the clip, to which he replied: […]
Reynolds noted that his children brag about their roots. “They love being from Canada. They tell people they are. “Oh, I’m half Canadian, half American,” he said.
The actor revealed that he and Lively might even move to Canada eventually. “We have been – I guess I could characterize it as – subtly searching for a while,” he told the paper Vancouver Sun in November 2023 about house hunting in British Columbia.
“Luckily my wife is obsessed with Vancouver and the food scene in Vancouver,” he added. “I’m obsessed with the childhood I was given and how privileged it was to grow up in a place like Vancouver, which I think incorporates principles that I have taken and carried with me throughout my career. … It really gave me the tools to process and deal with a lot of the things. Perhaps some of my peers may have slightly more maladaptive coping mechanisms to deal with.
At the time, Reynolds was above the cutoff to be appointed to the Order of British Columbia, the province’s highest form of recognition that honors his contributions to the community. He shared his belief that the Canadians he knows want to have a positive impact.
Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds enjoy spending time with their friends and family when they’re not too busy with their own careers. Their friendship with Taylor Swift has made headlines over the years. After Lively met Swift in 2015, the spouses celebrated the 4th of July at Swift’s infamous party in 2016. […]
“British Columbia, Vancouver and growing up Canadian, I feel like there’s an aspect that has forged a sense of empathy, not just in me, but in a lot of the people that I know that I grew up with” , Reynolds said. “I’m still friends with most of the people I went to school with here. They all tend to have something within them that I think wants to see the world or the country or the city or whatever you want to call it, a little bit better place. I am very grateful for that.”
That optimism also extends to his close relationships. “I think the secret sauce to a long-term Hollywood friendship is not that different from having a partner or a marriage,” Reynolds told Jackman in their new album. People cover story. “I’m honestly rooting for you, all the time. I want you to win. It’s the same thing I think about Blake. While I’m rooting for her, I know she’s rooting for me, and that’s why we’re so connected.”
