After Snubbing 2023 Met Gala for Wrexham, Ryan Reynolds Gets a “No-No” From Wife Blake Lively to Live in $1.8 Million Home in Wales

In recent times, Hollywood star Ryan Reynolds has made waves not as a celebrated star actor but as the savior of a Welsh football club, Wrexham AFC. Ever since Ryan Reynolds became the owner of the Red Dragons in 2020, the Welsh town has gained worldwide attention.

Following this came their historic achievement of winning the National League this season and earning promotion to the fourth division. This achievement meant as much for Reynolds as it did for the players and fans. He has been in love with the Welsh town and it was in pursuit of this that Reynolds splashed out an impressive $1.8 million for a house in Wrexham.

He had intentions of getting accommodation for himself and his wife Blake Lively in the area for their travels for matches there. Despite having a beautiful home, the Hollywood star and his wife will unlikely be spending the summer in Wrexham this year.

Following Wrexham’s historic promotion reportedly wants to spend the summer in the Welsh town with his wife, Blake Lively. But, unfortunately for Reynolds, his wife has other plans. Reports suggest that Lively is busy with upcoming projects and, as such, is not open to the idea of living in Wrexham on a full-time basis.

An insider told the Daily Mail, “Blake is ready to get back to work, and living there full-time is a no-no”. It is no surprise that the celebrated actress is currently busy with future projects with other big-season directors. While Lively no doubt loves Wrexham, her demanding schedule likely prevents her from being able to make the move. However, this didn’t pose a problem for Reynolds, who even snubbed the Met Gala for Wrexham.

Reynolds and McElhenney have demonstrated an unparalleled commitment to Wrexham, its soccer team, and the local community. Their dedication was clear when they turned down an invitation to attend this year’s Met Gala. As revealed in a recent interview, the duo placed their focus on the soccer club over attending the exclusive event.

Upon being asked if they’d be attending the dinner, Reynolds cited “Wrexham business” that had to be taken care of. The decision speaks volumes as to how much they value their commitment to the Welsh town and its soccer club.
