In the past, Reynolds has revealed that Blake Lively was initially furious with his $2.5 million Wrexham investment. In fact, he didn’t even tell her in the beginning. From that point to actually becoming a sponsor, that is a mighty turn of fortunes! Proudly, Blake Lively is now directly involved with Wrexham. Less than a week ago, the club announced its new training kit sponsor.

Betty Buzz is a premium drink mixer that one can mix with their favorite spirits. Following her sponsorship in the soccer universe, Lively launched a new range of canned cocktails. Lively’s Betty Buzz officially replaces her husband’s company Aviation Gin as the kit sponsor. The ancient soccer club will exponentially help the mixer brand grow.

The players will wear the new training kit to train for their first game in a new league. With a record 111-point season, the Red Dragons skyrocketed their way out of the Vanarama National League. For the first time in fifteen years and in Reynolds’ just second full season, the club has achieved the historic promotion.
