How to add 'Review by' next to author in a blog post?

Hi there,
I would like to add a 'Reviewed by' Author option for certain articles that were written by Author X, but review by Author Y.
Could you please help with this?

Hi there,
For starters, do your posts already have some sort of "reviewer" post meta associated to them? This is necessary so we know where/how to pull that data/value from. :D
Once we have that, it'll be quite easy to display it as we only need to pick a hook to place it on.
By default, WordPress only have get_the_author() which gets the original author of the post, and get_the_modified_author() who did the last modification/edit on the post.
If you're asking for ideas on how to associate a user as a reviewer, consider this:
Since you're trying to associate a "Reviewed by" user on a post, you can try adding a ACF plugin custom field to each post with the field taken from the list of users of your site.
This way, you can edit each post's custom field (in a form of a dropdown option, assuming you used "Users" field - https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/user/) to pick your reviewer from. :D
