After Surprising ‘Bury Me in Wales’ Wish, Wrexham’s Power Couples Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively Planning a New Life in the UK: Reports

Ryan Reynolds is obsessed with Wrexham. The monumental success of the project has evidently enamored the star, who seems to be in love with the Welsh club and city. The adoration has grown to such an extent that Reynolds recently took a massive decision, for the sake of the team. Earlier, the Deadpool star took an important step with his wife, Blake Lively, and his kids by buying a house in the UK.

It was a decision that was strongly taken, keeping in mind both the couple’s acting careers as well as the obvious, Wrexham. In fact, the star couple is looking forward to their new life in the UK.

Notably, Reynolds and Blake have bought a five-bedroom mansion worth $5 million, in the London suburbs. They plan to reside there for the foreseeable future while Ryan films the third installment of Deadpool in the city. In fact, as stated by Closer, sources revealed they are already looking forward to a new life.

“Ryan and Blake just love Britain. It’s become a real second home for them. They’ve made some really good friends in the UK, so it made sense to have a proper base here. While they love Wrexham, a lot of their work is taking place in London so it seemed to make more sense to be there rather than Wales. The UK is small compared to America, so nowhere is actually that far,” said the source.

The source also claimed the couple was looking for “a perfect pad closer to London” and after a lot of exploration, they chose Richmond. The location has also seen A-list celebrities like Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, and Jason Sudeikis live there. “They’re really excited to put down roots in Richmond and build a community there – joking that they’ll be drinking tea and calling each other ‘mate’ in no time as they further embrace the UK and see it as a second home.”

In 2022, Ryan Reynolds displayed his Welsh passion after witnessing his club’s astonishing triumph. During their National League match against Dover, Wrexham was trailing 5-2 at home. However, they staged an incredible comeback, securing a 6-5 victory with a 98th-minute goal from Daniel Jarvis. The rollercoaster victory of the Dragons clearly ignited Reynolds’ emotions.

The Hollywood star took to Twitter after the final whistle, expressing how stressed he had been during the game, comparable to the emotions of the fans in the stadium. He jokingly wrote, “I just lost 9 years off my life. And I’m okay with that. Apologies to my family. Also, bury me in Wales.” Indeed, his Tweet is a testament to his love for the club. Now that has grown even more.
