Swift, 31, publiclyrevealed the name of Reynolds' and Lively’s third daughter Betty, 22 months, in her album which debuted in July 2020. The Grammy winner also name-dropped the couple’s daughters James, 4, and Inez, 4, in the song “Betty.”
“We surprised them with it,” theDeadpoolstar, 44, said on Thursday’s SiriusXMTown Hallof letting their daughters hear the track.
“They didn’t know,” the father-of-three added. “They had no idea.”
He went on to joke, “We don’t tell them anything, we find they’re most compliant if you offer them no access to outside information.”
The decision for Swift to announce the name of Reynolds and Lively’s daughter — whom they welcomed in October 2019 — was easy for the couple as they “trust” their longtime friend.
“We trust her implicitly,” Reynolds said onTown Hall. “She’s very sensitive to any of that stuff.”
He continued, “And obviously the song is, has nothing to do with our kids other than our kids' names.”
“But I mean, what an honor,” theFree Guystar said. “We thought it was pretty, pretty damn amazing. We still do. I still walk down the street and shake my head thinking ‘I can’t believe that happened.’ "
