Blake Lively increases involvement in Wrexham alongside Ryan Reynolds

Blake Lively has taken another step in supporting Wrexham 's teams with her company sponsoring kits next season.

Lively along with her husband, club owner Ryan Reynolds, has been seen at a number of Wrexham games this season after the Red Dragons gained promotion back to the EFL with the mens team, with the women's team also also promoted to the top league in Wales.

Lively has been a passionate supporter of the women's team in particular, with her beverage company, Betty's Buzz, set to sponsor the training tops for all of Wrexham's teams.

As well as being on the front of the training tops, Betty's Buzz will also be on the sleeve for the women's team, who will become semi-pro for the first time next season.

Reynolds and Lively regularly bring their children to the games, as they are currently expecting their fourth child. Speaking to Wrexham.com, Lively said: "The owners of Wrexham AFC reached out to me through official channels.

"Our team had, of course, heard of Wrexham AFC but once we officially learned about their refreshing vision, we knew it was the right official fit for our refreshing sparkling beverage. Officially."

Lively's husband Reynolds and fellow co-owner Rob McElhenney said: "Betty Buzz pairs well with any beverage - whether it’s Ryan’s Aviation Gin or Rob’s Four Walls Whiskey.

"But if any of you pair it with Rob’s Four Walls Whiskey, Ryan will hunt you down and make you regret that choice. You can also just drink it alone! Anything but pairing it with Rob’s delicious whiskey."

Betty's Buzz will also be taking over the naming rights of the suite used by Reynolds and McElhenney at the Racecourse Ground, which is currently being redesigned ahead of the new season.

Wrexham are set to play two pre-season games in the United States this off-season. As they will come up against Premier League giants Manchester United and Chelsea.

They face United in California before heading to North Carolina to play Chelsea, before their return to the EFL for the first time following a 15-year absence.
