Blake Lively is all about celebrating her husband’s big wins! On April 27, the actress shared a sweet Instagram post about Ryan Reynolds’ latest milestone with Wrexham AFC, the Welsh soccer team he co-owns along with Rob McElhenney.
The post comes after Wrexham recorded a thrilling 3-0 win over Charlton on April 26, a big moment in team history: they’ve been promoted to the Championship, which is the second tier of English soccer.
Lively didn’t waste any time reflecting on just how special the win was – not only to Wrexham but also to her family. She thanked the town of Wrexham, the fans, and all involved in making the historic day happen. “History was made yesterday not just with you but because of you,” she wrote, sharing a series of images that captured the emotion of the day. The first photo in her post was a romantic snap of her and Reynolds embracing in the stands while the other pictures showed the team celebrating and moments of joy with McElhenney.
Her message did also underline the importance of community and passion, saying, “Your passion and the ferocity of your joy are the magic.” Besides celebrating the teamwork which made this victory possible, including praise for the manager, Phil Parkinson, she saved her most touching words for Reynolds and McElhenney: “my favorite crazy ones, misfits, rebels, troublemakers”, as a nod to their unconventional approach to owning the team and making history.
Lively didn’t stop there; she made sure to give a shoutout to the Wrexham AFC women’s team as well: “We’re so proud of you and grateful to all you do to elevate [girls’] dreams,” she wrote, reflecting on how inspiring it was to see young girls in Wrexham jerseys at the match. The post celebrated not only the victory itself but also the impact this moment has on the community and future generations of soccer players.
On her Instagram Stories, Lively writes a moving reflection about the men behind the success, saying the love and respect Reynolds and McElhenney show to each other brings about “more joy, more possibilities, more magic.” She goes further to describe the photo of the two men as “a painting of all you do for so many.”
Reynolds also took to Instagram to celebrate the big win. Posting a series of photos, he acknowledged the team’s achievement and the wisdom of manager Phil Parkinson. For Reynolds, the victory represents the third promotion in a row for Wrexham, something not very common in soccer. “We made history,” he said in his post, underscoring the weightiness of the moment.
The celebration of Wrexham’s promotion by Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds is a lesson in teamwork, passion, and the pure joy of watching dreams come true-after those very dreams had been long deemed impossible.
