It was a family affair at Wrexham FC as co-owner Ryan Reynolds [1] visited The Racehorse Ground on 25 March with his wife, Blake Lively [2], and their 4 kids [3] — James, 8, Inez, 6, Betty, 3, and their newborn who is just months old [4] and whose name is yet to be revealed. The Hollywood couple arrived in Wales to watch his team play York City; a game which they won 3-0. The family wandered onto the pitch soon after to take selfies as a new family of six while speaking to fans sitting in the crowd.

While Lively and Reynolds are known for their cutting sense of humour [5], one particularly brilliant video was circulating on Twitter [6]. When one fan, who had facetimed his girlfriend and asked Lively to say hello, the "Gossip Girl [7]" star responded: "Hi Stephanie . . . you should leave him!"as the crowd erupted in laughter.

For the day out, Lively wore a chic checked coat over a black cardigan to layer up in the cold weather, while her "Deadpool" husband became a walking advert and opted to wear his team's merchandise, of course. The couple returned the following day to watch the Wrexham FC Women's team win 2-1 against Connah's Quay Nomads. Reynolds co-owner Rob McElhenney also joined them to watch the games over the weekend, which saw record-breaking crowds pass through the gates.

Reynolds took to Instagram shortly aftet the win to post a carousel of photos from the momentous Welsh trip, including a gorgeous selfie with Lively. He added a heartfelt caption: "Two unbelievable days of Wrexham football. Nearly 20,000 people passed through the gates of the Racecourse Ground. @wrexham_afc won — but the main event was @wrexhamafcwomen winning it all and hoisting the big shiny trophy. These women played their guts out and @robmcelhenney and I couldn't be prouder or more choked up." He also posted photos to his Instagram story of his co-owner and wife, which Lively reposted, writing "Two guys, a girl, and a football place" in reference to his '90s TV sitcom, "Two guys, a girl, and a pizza place."

Despite David Beckham having to explain the offside rule [8] to him, Reynolds is passionate about his sporting venture and even chronicled his real-life Ted Lasso [9] moment in the Disney+ docuseries, "Welcome to Wrexham". He has previously taken his eldest daughter to a Wrexham FC FA Cup match [10] in January, but this marks the first time they've all attended together. Read ahead to see all the sweet photos of the family trip to the Wrexham game.
