etonline.com:

Ryan Reynolds just struck a billion-dollar deal, which is serious business for an ordinary business person. But Reynolds is no ordinary business person.

Just ask his mom, Tammy.Reynolds and T-Mobile announced on Wednesday that the cellular phone giant acquired his Mint Mobile wireless phone company in a mega $1.35 billion deal.

And, in announcing the deal, Reynolds roped in his lovely mother for a quick joke to take the seriousness out of the giant deal.«Mint Mobile is the best deal in wireless and today’s news only enhances our ability to deliver for our customers,» Reynolds said in a joint statement. «We are so happy T-Mobile beat out an aggressive last-minute bid from my mom Tammy Reynolds as we believe the excellence of their 5G network will provide a better strategic fit than my mom’s slightly-above-average mahjong skills.

I am so proud of the entire Mint team and so excited for what’s to come.»Reynolds, along with David Glickman and Rizwan Kassim, founded Mint Mobile in 2016.
