Blake Lively really wasn’t best pleased when her husband Ryan Reynolds told her he’d bought Welsh football team Wrexham FC with actor Rob McElhenney. And really, can we blame her?

Deadpool star Ryan took control of the club last year along with It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia actor Rob, after promising to invest £2million into it in 2020.

But how did he break the news to Blake? Well, he attempted to lessen the blow with ‘bad news and really bad news’ while revealing his eye-wateringly expensive purchase.

Sitting down with Rob on Jimmy Kimmel Live on Tuesday, Ryan recalled: ‘I remember saying, “I have bad news and I have really bad news, I slipped into someone’s DMs again. 

‘”The really bad news is that I might have bought half of a fifth-tier national football league in Wales”.’

Asked what her reaction was, Ryan replied: ‘Not good, Rob. Not great. We’re still working through that one.’

Ryan and Rob took full control of the National League club from the Wrexham Supporters Trust in February 2021, investing £2million under the terms of the deal.

The pair celebrated news of their takeover by simply tweeting: ‘Wrexham Is The Name.’

The duo has been spotted supporting their club at a number of matches since becoming owners.

In May, Ryan and Rob accidentally celebrated an offside goal only to later find out that it didn’t count as the player was in an offside position.

Ryan’s wife Blake was also in attendance and it looked like she’d put away any bad feeling over her husband’s purchase as she rocked the team’s scarf by way of support.

Ryan and Rob have charted their football club takeover in the Disney Plus documentary Welcome To Wrexham, which is set to premiere on August 25.
