Ryan Reynolds has confirmed he and wife Blake Lively have welcomed their third child together and revealed they had a girl.

The Hollywood actor shared a picture of he and Lively cuddling the child while standing in a forest, though he ensured the baby’s face was covered.

Gossip Girl star Lively reportedly gave birth over the summer but this is the first time either parent has confirmed the news.

Deadpool star Reynolds posted the family picture and urged his fellow Canadians to vote in the country’s elections later this month.

He said climate change was a major factor in how he would be voting, adding: “I want my daughters to experience the same natural playground I grew up in. ”

And appearing to endorse Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau for another term, Reynolds said: “I’m proud of the climate progress made the last 4 years.”
