Back in July, Swift revealed she was the godmother to Lively and Reynolds' kids while encouraging her fans to go see Reynolds' "Deadpool & Wolverine" ahead of the film's opening weekend.
"He's created the best work of his life, and this film feels like an actual joy portal, a wild escape from reality, and an abs sandwich," she wrote in an Instagram Story at the time alongside a photo of her with "The Proposal" star, Lively, Jackman and the movie's director Shawn Levy, who is godfather to Olin. "I don't know how he did it."
Closing out her note with a nod to Reynolds' character in the Marvel film, the 34-year-old added, "Shout out to Wade Wilson, aka my godkids' sperm donor!"
And fans know all too well that the support goes both ways. After Reynolds attended the Grammy winner's "Eras Tour" with Lively in New Orleans, he shared a rave review of her concert.
"The main reason I’ll never forget this show is because it brings people together in so many ways," the 48-year-old wrote on Instagram Oct. 31. "And in 2024, (where that feeling is scarce as hell) it’s a special and incredibly rare thing."
Describing the show as "an athletic event and a collective cultural phenomenon," as well as "gigantic but intimate," Reynolds joked, "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."
