“He sang it to me on the very last day of the shoot,” Jackman said of his guess, “Word for word.” When the Wolverine actor continued to protest, Reynolds insisted, “I hummed it.”
The Deadpool star then revealed his answer is the song “Betty,” which secretly revealed the name of his third daughter that he shares with wife Blake Lively. The singer also mentions the couple’s daughters, James, 9, and Inez, 7, in the song.

In 2021, Reynolds opened up on SiriusXM Town Hall about how he and his wife, 36, kept the song “under wraps” from everybody, including their children. “We surprised them with it,” he said. “They didn’t know. They had no idea.”
He went on to say it was “an honor” to hear their children’s names on the record. “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,’ ” Reynolds shared.
