Weeks after it was reported that Blake Lively had secretly given birth to her third child earlier the summer, Ryan Reynolds has shared a photo of their baby.

On Wednesday, the Deadpool actor posted a photograph on Twitter of himself and his famous wife, who is carrying their youngest child – a daughter.

The notoriously private couple have hidden their newborn’s face in the photo, with Reynolds adding a humorous smiley drawing over the little one’s face, much to the amusements of the parents’ fans.

‘Your baby has blake’s smile [sic],’ one user commented.

‘She has your eyes,’ another wrote.

In the snap, the parents coordinate in black while standing in a forest, in Canada – Reynolds’ home country – given the caption relating to Canadian elections currently taking place and climate change.

'I love B.C,' he captioned the photo. 'I want my daughters to experience the same natural playground I grew up in,' he wrote. 'On Oct. 21, the candidate you vote for will SHAPE CLIMATE POLICY. I'm proud of the climate progress made the last 4 years.’

Earlier this month, US Weekly reported that the Gossip Girl actress had given birth to her third child nearly earlier this summer. At the time, it was unclear if the pair had a boy or a girl.

The couple were previously James Reynolds, four, and Inez Reynolds, two. The name of their third child is still unknown.
