The couple attended the premiere of the 47-year-old actor's new movie, Deadpool and Wolverine, in New York, and while thanking his family, he name-checked his significant other, 36, and four children, daughters James, 9, Inez, 7, and Betty, 4, as well as baby Olin, 17 months.
"I want to start by saying thank you to my wife Blake, who is here," Reynolds said on the Lincoln Center stage on Monday.
"I want to thank my kids James, Inez, Betty, Olin, who are here: I hope that, if I'm lucky, this moment will be the most traumatic thing - that is, the contents of this movie - that happens in your wondrous life.
"I love that my entire family is here."
The showbiz power couple are yet to reveal the gender of their youngest, but Olin is traditionally a male name of Scandinavian origin and means "ancestor's heir", or "to inherit".
It is the diminutive form of Olaf.
In May, Reynolds responded to speculation that Taylor Swift had let their fourth child's name slip in her latest album, The Tortured Poets Department.
During an appearance on the Today show, the Deadpool star joked: "We always wait for Taylor to tell us what the child's name is, and I'll say this: We're still waiting."
Swift's tune Betty, which appears on her 2020 album folklore, was named after Reynolds and Lively's daughter, and her older sisters Ines and James are also mentioned in the song.
In 2020, the superstar singer confirmed she named the characters of her song after her good pal Lively's brood.
"I named all the characters in this story after my friends' kids," she told Country Radio.
