Who are Ryan Reynolds three elder brothers, Jeff, Patrick and Terry? The supportive brothers
Reynolds may be known as the humorous katana-wielding (sometimes gun-wielding) anti-hero, but there’s a reason why his playfulness comes through – he’s the baby of in the family, with three elder brothers.
The Reynolds brothers grew up in Vancouver, Canada with their parents, Tammy Reynolds and James Chester Reynolds, the latter with whom Ryan had been previously estranged. Recently, the brothers travelled with their mother Tammy to support Ryan at the New York City premiere, per People.Here’s everything you need to know about Ryan Reynolds’ elder brothers, and what they’re up to now.
1. Jeff Reynolds
Jeff Reynolds is quite the enigmatic brother; his social media accounts are private, but he makes rare appearances in Ryan’s posts, be it throwback pictures or wholesome shots with his family.
In 2017, Ryan shared a photo of him and Jeff when they were kids in an appreciation post, writing that he considered his older brother his “first friend”. The year before, he also said, “Seems like just yesterday you were changing my diapers, even though it was well over a week ago.”
2. Patrick Reynolds
Patrick Reynolds, according to his X (formerly known as Twitter) account, describes himself as a “dad, teacher and visual artist”.
Patrick is a teacher, which is something Ryan is quite proud about, recently mentioning it in an interview on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. Patrick currently teaches at Coyote Creek Elementary in British Columbia.
3. Terry Reynolds
Terry Reynolds is a little more online than Patrick and Jeff, and frequently shares Instagram posts about his interests and personal time with family. He’s also a supportive brother, promoting Deadpool and Wolverine.
Back in October of 2023, Terry accidentally ran into Ryan in New York and the two took a selfie, which Terry posted with the caption, “I’m not sure what the odds are of running into your own brother while doing separate things in NY for the day. 8.5 million people and we practically collided”.
Terry is currently a Mountie, a member of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, following in his late father’s footsteps, per People. James Reynolds passed away in 2015 after 20 years of battling Parkinson’s disease, and Ryan has now named one of his own kids with his wife, Blake Lively, after his late father.ncG1vNJzZmivp6x7tK%2FMqWWcp51kuqKzwLOgp52jZMC1xcueZp6mpJq%2Fta3Ip6SepqRkrrPAyJyjnmdjZ4R0fpFqZrCgn2Kus7GMq7Capl2nsrq6zqWbrGWknb%2BmsYyeo52domKvs7vToZyrq12fsqeyjKmYraqZmLhurc2dZK2doqfGbr%2FUqaeoqqSew6Z5waumraCVp8Buw8eoZKuxkaN6qL7EsA%3D%3D
