Overview

• On Oct. 9, Reynolds told Late Night with Seth Meyers that two-year-old Olin “came out” fixated on “violence, breasts and engines.”
• He joked he’d have given himself a “punching vasectomy” if a son had arrived first, saying he “would never” have had four kids in that scenario.
• The actor said raising three daughters felt “just so easy” compared with a boy who “gotta break everything,” recalling his own upbringing with brothers.
• Olin was born in 2023 and joined sisters James, 10, Inez, 9, and Betty, 6, in the Reynolds–Lively family.
• Coverage from People and Page Six framed the segment as lighthearted, while the Mirror cited social media criticism calling the joke “disturbing.”
