According to [_People_](http://celebritybabies.people.com/2016/09/30/blake-lively-and-ryan-reynolds-welcome-second-child/ "undefined"), Lively gave birth to their second baby in New York; [the couple, who married in 2012](http://time.com/4370228/blake-lively-ryan-reynolds/ "undefined"), are also parents to a 22-month-old daughter named James. As of right now, the sex and name of the baby is still unknown, but take comfort in knowing that even if Reynolds and Lively choose to give this child an unwieldy handle, the little one is still heir to the genetic jackpot. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4515044/blake-lively-ryan-reynolds-baby-2/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4515044/blake-lively-ryan-reynolds-baby-2/"},"headline":"Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds Welcome Their Second Child","datePublished":"2016-09-30T18:12:10.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:37:13.541Z","description":"Major congrats are in order for the couple","url":"https://time.com/4515044/blake-lively-ryan-reynolds-baby-2/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Entertainment","celebrity","Blake Lively"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt7f795ea535d237b4/6988a838428a9e6c7fcd473e/blake-lively-ryan-reynolds-baby-2.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Cady Lang","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/cady-lang/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt7f795ea535d237b4/6988a838428a9e6c7fcd473e/blake-lively-ryan-reynolds-baby-2.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Trudeau State Dinner Guest Arrivals","caption":"Trudeau State Dinner Guest Arrivals","creditText":"Pool—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4515044/blake-lively-ryan-reynolds-baby-2/","name":"Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds Welcome Their Second Child"}}]}] ```
