“Thank you @wrexham_afc and all the players and everyone who works at that stadium for the performance of a lifetime,” expressed Blake Lively, who was in attendance alongside her husband, Ryan Reynolds, as Wrexham AFC clinched their first Adran Premier title on March 29, 2026. The couple’s presence at the match added a touch of celebrity to an already historic event for the club.
Wrexham AFC, a club that has seen a remarkable rise under the ownership of Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, secured the title with a decisive victory over Cardiff City. The match, attended by a crowd of approximately 2,900 fans, showcased the team’s hard work and dedication throughout the season. Notably, Katie Barker shone brightly, scoring a hat-trick that solidified Wrexham’s dominance in the game.
This season has been particularly fruitful for Wrexham AFC Women, who not only clinched the Adran Premier title but also achieved a league and cup double. Their journey to this moment was paved with significant milestones, including back-to-back Welsh Cup finals and promotion to the top flight in 2023. The victory on March 29 marks a new chapter in the club’s history, one that fans and players alike will remember for years to come.
Reynolds and Lively’s involvement with Wrexham has been a source of inspiration for many, as they continue to support the club both on and off the field. The couple recently shared family vacation photos on Instagram, highlighting their time spent together in Wales. Lively expressed her gratitude for the week spent with loved ones, stating, “So grateful for the best week with my loved ones.” This sentiment resonates with the community, as Wrexham’s success brings people together.
As the team prepares to lift the trophy in front of their home fans against Swansea City next Sunday, the excitement continues to build. Wrexham’s triumph not only secures their place in history but also books them a spot in the qualifying rounds of the 2026/27 UEFA Women’s Champions League, further elevating the club’s profile on the international stage.
Reynolds’ dedication to the club is evident, as he continues to take an active role in promoting Wrexham AFC. Lively humorously noted, “After 14.5 years together, I still take sneaky fan photos of him. I have such a crush,” reflecting the couple’s playful dynamic and their shared passion for the club. Their relationship has become intertwined with the community’s spirit, making them beloved figures among fans.
As Wrexham celebrates this monumental achievement, the future looks bright for the club and its supporters. The journey has just begun, and with Reynolds and McElhenney at the helm, fans are eager to see what lies ahead for Wrexham AFC. Details remain unconfirmed about future plans, but the excitement surrounding the team is palpable.
