Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively are no strangers to supporting his Wrexham soccer team, and their recent outing on Saturday, April 26, was no different. The couple, known for their playful and loving relationship, made a splash at the home game, cheering on the team with enthusiasm.
On Friday, April 25, Lively, 37, shared a cheerful selfie on her Instagram Stories, captioning it, “Let’s go boys @wrexham_afc.” In the photo, she sported a team-branded baseball cap paired with a cozy gray sweater, while Reynolds, 48, opted for an olive jacket and stylish reading glasses, showcasing their casual yet trendy vibe.
The following day, the couple attended the match against Charlton Athletic FC, joined by Wrexham co-owner Rob McElhenney and Olympic gymnast Aly Raisman. The atmosphere was electric, and at one point, Reynolds affectionately kissed Lively on the forehead as she wrapped her arms around his waist, a sweet moment that captured their deep connection.
Just two days prior to their trip to Wales, the couple made a rare appearance on the red carpet at the TIME100 gala, where Lively was honored for her achievements. During her speech, she touched on her experiences over the past two years, hinting at her ongoing legal battle with It Ends With Us director and co-star Justin Baldoni.
“I have so much to say about the last two years of my life, but tonight is not the forum,” Lively remarked, emphasizing the importance of having a voice as a woman. She expressed gratitude for the women who have paved the way and the supportive men standing alongside them. “Every life, every act, big or small, affects another,” she added, highlighting the interconnectedness of experiences.
Lively also paid tribute to her mother, Elaine, who was present at the gala. She described her mother as an eternal optimist, always encouraging her with uplifting messages. “But, at her urging and unwavering bravery, she wanted me to share with you that she is a survivor of the worst crimes someone can commit against a woman,” Lively shared, emphasizing the significance of naming and addressing such issues.
In late 2022, Lively accused Baldoni, 41, of sexual harassment and creating a hostile work environment during the filming of 2024’s It Ends With Us. Baldoni has denied these allegations and subsequently filed a multimillion-dollar defamation lawsuit against Lively and Reynolds, who have both denied his claims and filed motions to dismiss the case.
As the couple continues to navigate their personal and professional lives, their unwavering support for each other remains evident, whether they are cheering for Wrexham or addressing serious issues in the public eye.
