According to Taylor Swift, Ryan Reynolds is the “sperm donor” for her godchildren. But she says it fondly.
Deadpool and Wolverine is out! The third installment of Dead Pool film series, the first in the MCU, released on Friday, July 26.
Taylor is a long time friend Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively. She is the godmother of their children.
And she is referring to this fact in a very ironic way by promoting Deadpool and Wolverine.

Ryan Reynolds is the sperm donor for Taylor Swift’s ‘godchildren’
On Thursday, July 25, Taylor Swift took to Instagram to encourage his 283 million followers — that’s more than a quarter of a billionby the way — to see Deadpool and Wolverine.
“Over the past few years, I have been watching one of my best friends on this planet,” Taylor began her post.
She wrote about watching Reynolds “pour every bit of his heart, soul, sweat, time, energy, jokes, pain, joy, rebellion, darkness and magic into this film.”

“This movie feels like a portal of real joy,” Taylor said. “A wild escape from reality.”
She added: “And an ab sandwich.”
While she may be making a specific reference to the movie, it should be noted that long before Ryan Reynolds’ sense of humor and work in superhero movies became famous, people knew him for his incredible body.
Then Taylor joked: “But that’s just Hugh for you!”

She’s kidding, guys.
Taylor Swift was clearly describing her longtime friend, Ryan Reynolds.
The joke is that all these compliments went to Hugh Jackman, who co-stars with Reynolds as Deadpool and Wolverineanother titular character.
“Shout out to Wade Wilson,” Taylor concluded her post, which included a link to purchase tickets. “AKA my godsons’ sperm donor!”

“Sperm donor“usually refers to someone who, as a friend or anonymously, donates sperm to help someone get pregnant, sometimes through in vitro fertilization.
Sometimes, as in the case of an irresponsible father or a biological father who is not and has never been “in the picture”, the term can be used pejoratively.
Wade Wilson is the real name of the character Deadpool.
None of them describe Ryan Reynolds’ role as a father. She’s making a joke for attention, and it’s working.

Ryan Reynolds Is More Than Just a Sperm Donor for Your Kids (and Taylor Swift Knows It)
Obviously, we could talk about Ryan Reynolds’ sperm all day. But we probably shouldn’t.
Instead, we noticed that he and Blake Lively have four children: James, 9, Inez, 7, Betty, 4, and Olin, 1.
And yes, Taylor Swift is their godmother. These kids aren’t old enough to fully realize how exceptional their social circle really is.
