Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds shared an affectionate moment during a rare public outing together on Saturday, attending a soccer match in Wales. The couple appeared relaxed and affectionate as they watched the game from a private suite at the Racecourse Ground.
The 38-year-old actress, who is currently involved in an ongoing legal dispute with Justin Baldoni, was seen staying close to her husband throughout the match. Reynolds, who co-owns Welsh football club Wrexham A.F.C. alongside fellow actor Rob McElhenney, was there to support the team during their Emirates FA Cup fifth-round clash with Chelsea F.C..
While cheering from the stands, Lively was spotted wrapping her arms around Reynolds’ waist from behind as they followed the action on the field. In another tender moment, the actor turned toward his wife and kissed her, drawing smiles from those around them. The pair continued chatting and enjoying the atmosphere while keeping an eye on the score.
Although Wrexham ultimately lost the match and were knocked out of the FA Cup, the couple appeared to be in high spirits during the outing. Lively was seen smiling warmly at Reynolds and mingling with other guests in the suite. McElhenney also spent time with the pair as they supported their club together.
At one point, Reynolds pulled his wife closer and planted a gentle kiss on her forehead. After the match ended, Lively stepped onto the field to greet several Wrexham players. Carrying a large teddy bear, she shared a friendly hug with footballer Sam Smith.
For the game, Lively opted for a relaxed yet stylish look, wearing light blue jeans paired with a matching denim jacket. She layered the outfit with a plaid zip-up and a striped shirt to stay warm in the chilly weather. Her blonde hair was styled in loose waves, and she completed the look with a brown backpack and a chic handbag.
Reynolds kept things equally casual in denim jeans and a dark gray hoodie. Later, Lively posted a selfie of the two inside the empty stadium on her Instagram Stories, captioning the moment: “What. A. Game. @wrexham_afc @chelseafc.”
The outing comes as Lively prepares for a highly anticipated court case connected to her legal battle with Baldoni. The dispute stems from their collaboration on the 2024 film It Ends With Us, which Baldoni directed and in which both actors starred. The trial is currently scheduled to begin on May 18 in New York City.
