Ryan Reynolds is living what he calls his “impossible dream” with wife Blake Lively, even as they navigate recent controversies and legal challenges.
Just two days after Blake faced criticism for her speech at the Time100 gala, the couple showed a strong, united front during a weekend outing filled with love and celebration.
On Saturday, April 26, Ryan and Blake were spotted together at a Wrexham AFC soccer match in Wales. Reynolds, who co-owns the Wrexham team with Rob McElhenney, beamed with pride as Wrexham secured a dominant 3-0 victory against Charlton. The sighting was particularly significant, given that Ryan and Blake have kept a low public profile recently due to a legal dispute involving Blake’s It Ends With Us co-star and director, Justin Baldoni.
Despite the backdrop of legal tensions, Ryan Reynolds seemed entirely focused on the joyful moment. One heartwarming photograph captured Ryan planting a tender kiss on Blake’s forehead, while she embraced him lovingly around the waist. In another image, Blake was seen cradling Ryan’s face as the two shared a passionate kiss, reaffirming their strong bond.
Speaking to the Associated Press after the match, Reynolds expressed his elation at the team’s success. “It just seemed like an impossible dream,” Ryan said, reflecting on Wrexham’s incredible rise from the fifth-tier league to securing promotion to the Championship—the prestigious second tier of English soccer.
The major milestone at Wrexham has brought a wave of positivity for Ryan Reynolds, easing some of the pressures the couple faced following the Time100 gala controversy. It also offered a welcome distraction from their ongoing legal wranglings with Baldoni, where tensions have run high.
Ryan’s journey with Wrexham has been nothing short of remarkable. Since acquiring the team in 2021, Reynolds has been deeply invested in its growth, often celebrating its small victories with as much passion as Saturday’s major triumph. His partnership with McElhenney and the outpouring of support from the local Welsh community has turned Wrexham into a global underdog story that continues to inspire.
Through the challenges, Ryan and Blake have proven that their bond remains strong, with Reynolds celebrating both professional victories and personal resilience alongside the love of his life.
