Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds surprised us last week when they brought their two adorable little girls to the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The couple are notoriously private about their personal lives, especially when it comes to their children. Reynolds' induction ceremony at the Hollywood Walk of Fame was the first time James and her little sister had been seen in public. They were even cuter than we thought they would be. Lively and Reynolds surprised their fans for a second time by revealing their baby girl's name.
The baby girl, born in September, is named Ines. Her older sister, James, also didn't have her name revealed for some time after she was born. While Ines is just as great a name as James, we still don't know why the couple chose this moniker for their second child. James, on the other hand, was named after Reynolds' recently deceased father. After a long battle with Parkinson's Disease, James C. Reynolds passed away in October 2015. James was born in December 2015.
Another reason the couple chose to name their oldest daughter James was because her mom has a similar name. Lively revealed that she's always liked having a boy's name. She was named after her great uncle. Lively decided to pass that tradition down to James. Knowing that all of this thought went into choosing such a special name for their first child, we're sure Ines has her own heartwarming backstory, as well.
Ines was born back in September. For the first few months, the couple wouldn't even reveal whether Lively had given birth to a baby boy or baby girl. Reynolds let the secret slip, though, during an appearance on Conan. After being asked about what his home life is like, Reynolds replied "a lot of estrogen. It feels like an American Girl took a s*** on my life." LOL!
This slip up got him into a little trouble at home with his wife, but Lively revealed everything was all good with an Instagram post after her hu.
This family is literal #lifegoals. We're so happy we got a glimpse of their beautiful kids, as well as learning little Ines' name. Hopefully we get to hear the story behind that name choice ASAP!
