Summary<\/h2>\n

\u30fbBlake Lively and Ryan Reynolds were spotted kissing and embracing at Wrexham\u2019s FA Cup match against Chelsea on March 7, 2026 \u2014 one of their first major public outings in months.<\/p>\n

\u30fbWrexham, co-owned by Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, was eliminated after losing to Chelsea 4-2 in extra time.<\/p>\n

\u30fbThe outing comes as Lively\u2019s lawsuit against It Ends With Us<\/em> director Justin Baldoni heads toward a May 2026 trial, with Baldoni\u2019s $400 million countersuit already dismissed.<\/p>\n

Legal drama? What legal drama? Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds stepped out in Wales on Saturday, March 7, looking very much like two people who had absolutely nothing on their minds except football \u2014 and each other.<\/p>\n

The couple got cozy during the Football Association Challenge Cup match between Wrexham and Chelsea, with the two seen hugging and kissing as the action unfolded at Racecourse Ground. Reynolds, of course, co-owns the Welsh club alongside It\u2019s Always Sunny in Philadelphia<\/strong><\/em> star Rob McElhenney, aka Rob Mac, which means his feelings about the final score were complicated at best.<\/p>\n

The Deadpool<\/em> actor, 49, shared a kiss and hugged Lively, 38, from a VIP box at Racecourse Ground, with the couple getting quite animated during the most dramatic moments of Wrexham\u2019s clash with Chelsea. Mac was right there with them, watching the whole thing unfold \u2014 you know, the game, not the kissing.<\/p>\n

Reynolds sported a gray sweatshirt and jeans, while Lively wore a denim jacket, matching bottoms, and a striped shirt. Casual, coordinated, and still somehow managing to make stadium seating look like a fashion moment.<\/p>\n

The game itself was a roller coaster. Wrexham took the lead early on with a goal from striker Sam Smith, and later a goal by defender Callum Doyle put the team 2-1 up close to the game\u2019s conclusion \u2014 but a late equalizer from Chelsea\u2019s Josh Acheampong took things to extra time. Wrexham ultimately lost 4-2 and was eliminated from the FA Cup.<\/p>\n

Reynolds posted footage via his Instagram Story of himself and McElhenney giving Chelsea a respectful clap as a show of sportsmanship, and the two co-owners shared a hug as they came to terms with Wrexham falling short of a quarterfinal placement.<\/p>\n

Reynolds later took to social media to put the loss in perspective. \u201cThree years ago this week, we battled Maidenhead United to a draw. Today we pushed Chelsea to extra time,\u201d Reynolds wrote. \u201cSo incredibly proud of Wrexham\u2019s performance today.\u201d Gracious in defeat \u2014 very on-brand.<\/p>\n

As for Lively, she offered her own recap. Following the match, she shared a smiling photo of herself and Reynolds on the empty field, writing simply, \u201cWhat. A. Game.\u201d Three words, maximum impact.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

She also couldn\u2019t resist a Gossip Girl<\/em> wink. \u201cPuttin\u2019 my night out hair to good use,\u201d Lively wrote across one snapshot, adding, \u201cI spy the Empire Hotel [if you know, you know].\u201d The Empire Hotel, of course, was prominently featured in the series that made her a household name. Old habits.<\/p>\n

The outing is notable for more than just its football context. It was a rare public appearance for Blake and Ryan, who have kept a low profile since the start of their court battle with director Justin Baldoni in December 2024. Lively filed suit against Baldoni for sexual harassment and retaliation, claiming that his alleged behavior on the set of It Ends With Us<\/em> caused her \u201csevere emotional distress.\u201d Baldoni denied the accusations and countersued for $400 million, but his claims were thrown out in June 2025. The trial is now scheduled to begin May 18.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Their high-profile legal battle, which began in late 2024, is currently headed toward that May 18, 2026, trial. The day before their Wrexham outing, both sides had reportedly been working on pre-trial proceedings, which makes a stolen kiss in the football stands feel almost like a deliberate exhale.<\/p>\n

Reynolds and Lively have been married since 2012 and share four children: James, born in December 2014; Inez, born in September 2016; Betty, born in October 2019; and Olin, born in February 2023. Fourteen years, four kids, one soccer club, and apparently still very much into each other \u2014 even when the scoreboard isn\u2019t cooperating.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This isn\u2019t Lively\u2019s first appearance in the Wrexham stands, either. In April 2025, she attended Wrexham\u2019s match against Charlton Athletic, where Reynolds\u2019s squad clinched promotion to the Championship with a commanding 3-0 victory. She\u2019s also been seen supporting Wrexham Women\u2019s fixtures, where she took time to speak with supporters on the touchline.<\/p>\n

Saturday\u2019s result stings a little more \u2014 but if there\u2019s a silver lining, it\u2019s that Wrexham pushed one of England\u2019s biggest clubs to extra time. Reynolds has embraced his role as football\u2019s most enthusiastic Hollywood boss, from pouring drinks for fans before a promotion-clinching match to celebrating back-to-back promotions.<\/p>\n

A 4-2 loss to Chelsea in the FA Cup, a kiss in the stands, and a post-match Instagram caption that said everything \u2014 honestly, not a bad Saturday.<\/p>\n
