Blake Lively Reveals “Baby Shark” Is Her Most-Played Song Of 2024
Blake Lively is proving once again how relatable she is as a mom. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter for its 2024 Women in Entertainment Power 100 list, the actress revealed her most-played song of the year: the viral children’s hit Baby Shark. But this isn’t just any version — her go-to is the Dance Remix.
Laughing about her youngest, one-year-old Olin, Blake joked, “It’s heaven — and also musical hell.” She shares four kids — 9-year-old James, 8-year-old Inez, 5-year-old Betty, and Olin — with her husband, actor Ryan Reynolds.
Parenthood has clearly shaped every part of Blake’s life, including her career choices. In a candid August conversation with Vogue, she explained, “My life has become more intimate.”
As a mom, she prioritizes her kids above all else, even if it means juggling serious conversations while doing chicken dances with them in the background. “That’s probably the most accurate portrait of me possible,” she added.
Meanwhile, Ryan has his own wisdom about parenting. On Amanda Hirsch’s Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast, he shared his mantra: “Embrace the chaos.”
Reflecting on their bustling household, the Deadpool star admitted that with four kids, “nothing’s ever going to be tidy again.” However, he said that it will be worth it “when they all leave the house.”
Ryan also credits Blake with helping him cherish the present. According to him, Blake always says, ‘They’re all under our roof right now. The whole family’s under our roof. And that’s fleeting.’” It’s a sentiment that reminds them both to soak in the moments of controlled chaos before the kids grow up and leave the nest.
While her life may not always be tidy, Blake wouldn’t have it any other way. Whether she’s dancing to “Baby Shark” or balancing work with mom duties, the actress continues to show the world how to embrace the messiness of life with love and humor.
