Ryan Reynolds experienced the best of ups and the tensest of downs at Wrexham AFC's Racecourse ground as his team took on Sheffield United in the FA Cup over the weekend.
And as per usual the Hollywood star received loving support from his wife Blake Lively, packed with the usual dry humour we've come to expect from the glamorous couple, who have been married since 2012.
Sharing an image of Ryan on her Instagram stories, Blake said that she'd bought US pay-per-view sports channel, ESPN+ to watch the match, which ended in a 3-3 draw after seven minutes of stoppage time, with the Welsh side leading up until the closing moments of the fourth round game.

The A Simple Favour and Gossip Girl actor wrote: "I bought ESPN+ today. Just to watch my husband experience crippling anxiety live. It was worth it."
The star then went on to highlight how well Wrexham were doing at that point adding: "If you're not watching this insane Wrexham AFC game right now you're missing out on these vibes. They're playing a team 3 leagues higher. And currently winning. Life makes no sense."
Reynolds, who bought the club back in 2021 with fellow actor, Rob McElhenney, spoke of his ambitions for the club ahead of the match with Gary Lineker and his fellow BBC pundits. He told them: "I get nervous for a match like today. Sheffield United are three leagues above us, 70 teams above us. It’s a classic David vs Goliath.
“You guys know this more than anybody on earth, this is football. This is the beautiful game. And I’m going to go on record and say there’s a chance…albeit a slim chance that Wrexham pulls off a miracle today!”
The dad-of-three attended the game with eldest daughter, James, but they had to jet back to New York to make sure she was back to school on Monday morning. For more TV and showbiz stories, subscribe to our newsletter here.
