Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively can't put a price on their kids' childcare.

While chatting with E! News alongside his Deadpool & Wolverine costar Hugh Jackman, Reynolds teased that his and Lively's good friend Taylor Swift is definitely not a cheap babysitter for their kids James, 9, Inez, 7, Betty, 4, and a fourth baby born in 2023.

After Jackman joked with Reynolds about Swift babysitting their kids, the dad of four quipped back with a comment about how much it would cost to hire the superstar.
