Blake Lively breaks silence on 'fairytale' Wrexham promotion with adorable clip of husband

Blake Lively has gushed over the amazing success hubby Ryan Reynolds' Wrexham AFC have had after their promotion to League Two at the weekend.

The Hollywood-style win secured the Welsh side's place in the Football League for the first time since 2008 and Blake shared the sweet moment her man realised the club's fate.

Taking to Instagram, Gossip Girl actress Blake, 35, uploaded Ryan's co-owner Rob McElhenney's clip from the celebrations and said it was her "favourite".

Alongside the clip added to her Instagram Stories, Blake wrote: "My favorite video of the whole day and that's saying A LOT."

Continuing with her proud words, she said: "What a day. What a year. What a lifetime.

"Congratulations @robmcelhenney @vancityreynolds @wrexham_afc and to every single person in Wrexham and the world over who made seemingly impossible dreams come true yesterday.

"This is my kind of fairytale..."

Her comments and video come after Ryan emotionally FaceTimed his wife to show her the celebrations as Wrexham were promoted in style.

The club's promotion push has been heavily publicised, especially with the decision to record a second season of the hugely popular Welcome to Wrexham documentary series on Disney+.

While it's unclear exactly what footage will feature when it returns next year, it's certain the impressive 3-1 victory over Boreham Wood and the jubilation that followed will be front and centre.

However, one amazing moment amidst the pre-match party atmosphere was also captured on camera.

Hollywood actor and Deadpool star Ryan is somewhat of a fans' favourite for his efforts for the North Wales club but his class shone through when he spent time before the game in the quiet zone he and co-owner Rob set up for fans suffering with health problems.

The actor was pictured with Caleb Webb, nine, who has been seriously ill with Crohn’s Disease.

Caleb’s mum Stacey, 35, who also has the condition, said: "It is not the first time he (Ryan) has done it.

"I would say nine times out of ten he will always come over to the disabled section where the kids are.

"He will come and say hello and have a chat with them. Most of the kids don’t understand he is a famous Hollywood actor. They just see him as a friend."

Ryan admitted he was "speechless" following the dream ending to their exciting season.

In an interview immediately after the game, he admitted: "I am not sure I can process what happened tonight. I am still a little speechless."

He went on to praise the club, its supporters and even second placed Notts County for their achievements this season.
