Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds celebrate Wrexham AFC victory with PDA moment

Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds celebrated Wrexham AFC's historic victory and promotion to the Championship with a public display of affection (PDA) during the match. The couple was seen cuddling, kissing and cheering as Wrexham won against Charlton Athletic FC with a final score of 3-0 on April 26, 2025, at the Racecourse Ground in Wrexham, Wales.

The celebratory moment comes as a relief for the couple who are entangled in their ongoing legal battle against It Ends With Us star Jason Baldoni. While the 37-year-old actress wore a pink long-sleeved checkered shirt with denims, the Deadpool actor, who is 48, wore a casual white T-shirt with a grey jacket and navy-blue trousers.

Reynolds and Lively, first met on the set of Green Lantern in 2010, according to People Magazine. They share four children together, three daughters named James, Inez, and Betty, and a son named Olin, who was born in 2023. The couple shared about the victory on their respective Instagram accounts as well.

What did Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively share on their Instagram accounts about the Wrexham AFC victory?

Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively are loyal supporters of Wrexham AFC. Reynolds co-owns the club with Rob McElhenney and has been deeply involved since their purchase in 2021.

Celebrating the moment with his fans and followers on Instagram, the actor shared a video clip from the match between Wrexham AFC and Charlton Athletic FC. In the post, he is seen excitedly hugging McElhenney as the former wins the match.

He shared a series of other pictures as well with the team and his wife. He captioned the post with a lengthy message which said:

“We’ve been with Wrexham for what seems like the blink of an eye, but so much has happened. I remember the first press conference, we were asked what our goals were… and I think Rob jumped in with, “The Premiere League. People laughed. They had every right to. It seemed insane… But we weren’t kidding.”

“I feel at home here. It’s a place that values community, decency and history. From the respect it pays to the Gresford Disaster, to the feeling of hope and miracles created by Mickey Thomas. These are big reasons Wrexham is growing into what it always was.

And added:

“We made history. We’ve been promoted for a record third time in a row. That doesn’t happen without the wisdom of Phil Parkinson and his coaching staff, or the talent of Paul Mullin. It doesn’t happen without Max Cleworth and Arthur Okonkwo. Or Mark Howard who may have one of the hardest jobs there is."

He concluded by saying,

“Somebody said the Welsh have the “heart of a poet and the fist of a fighter.” That’s what I love about this place. I wish the whole world could visit Wrexham. Diolch.”

Lively took to her Instagram story on April 27, 2025, and shared a photo of Reynolds with Rob McElhenney. She captioned the photo,

“Back to back to back. History was made. Congratulations to @wrexham_afc I will never forget the love and elation in that town today. Thank you for sharing it with us always.”

And then added below the picture,

“And to these two men, @robmcelhenney & @vancityreynolds …the love and respect that pours out of you each and together exponentially grows and creates more joy, more possibilities, more magic, more history. This picture feels to me like a painting of all you do for so many for being so present and appreciative of every moment.”

The couple were last spotted attending the Time100 gala event on April 24, 2025 at the Lincoln Center in New York. They were captured sharing a sweet kiss before she headed to the stage to deliver her speech. Lively was named in the Time 100 Most Influential People of 2025.
