Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively posed for heartwarming family photos on the pitch at Wrexham today – including a young baby believed to be their fourth child.
The Hollywood A-list couple announced in February that they are proud parents again, without revealing the name or gender of the recent arrival.
Her fans were therefore delighted to see the family scene at the venue, where Reynolds’ team Wrexham played York in the Vanarama National League.
Actress Blake, 35, beamed for the photos with her husband, 46, as she held the little one with their first three children, James, eight, Betty, six, and Inez, three.
Ryan held the baby gently in his arms before all five posed for a photo.

In February, the couple was seen with Ryan’s mother, Tammy, as she revealed to fans that Blake no longer had a baby bump.
Ryan humorously revealed after the birth that his home had become a “zoo” during CNBC’s Power Lunch.
The actor continued during the virtual interview, “We’re very excited.”
“There’s a zoo over here. This is my office. To be honest, I’ll probably spend the rest of my life here,” he jokingly admitted.
“Look, we wouldn’t do this four times if we didn’t love it. Everyone is doing great. In fact, everyone is doing fantastic. If we hadn’t figured it out by now, I think we’d be in big, deep trouble.’
When asked if her fourth child would be a boy or a girl, the The Adam Project actor chose not to reveal the answer, instead saying, “I’m not telling. It’s not a birth announcement.”
He continued, “We didn’t do a birth announcement, we just posted a photo and the media did what they do after that.”
In August last year, Ryan revealed his wife wasn’t particularly happy when he told her he’d bought actor Rob McElhenney to join the Welsh team with It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.
In an interview with Jimmy Kimmel Live! he said: “I remember seeing Blake and saying, ‘I have bad news and I have really bad news. I slipped into someone’s DMs again. The really bad news is I bought maybe half of a fifth tier national football league in Wales.”
However, Blake was caught cheering on Ryan’s club. In May last year, the pair watched Wrexham take on Bromley during the Buildbase FA Trophy Final at Wembley Stadium in London.
It is not confirmed if Blake has previously attended a game at the club’s precinct in central Wrexham, North Wales.

Also pictured arriving ahead of the game was club co-owner Rob McElhenney.
The couple bought back the club in 2020. They’ve since firmly returned Wrexham and its once-ailing club to the limelight.
Wrexham play York City today to secure promotion back to the Football League, with the Welsh side currently sitting at the top of the table on 94 points, three ahead of Notts County in second place.
The club’s duo are also keen to give women’s football a boost and recently announced they will attend tomorrow’s Wrexham women’s team game against local rivals Connah’s Quay Nomads.
The famous owners will be joined by more than 7,000 fans attending the game after a record number of tickets were sold.
McElhenney tweeted: “We sold 7,309 Tix for the @WrexhamAFCWomen on Sunday.
“That breaks the record, but I’d like to wipe it in the dust of history. I will be there and knowing how this city shows itself to each other, I have faith that you will too. LET’S GO!!!!’
Reynolds wrote: “Let’s fill The Racecourse Ground and celebrate @WrexhamAFCWomen on their historic run. I can’t wait to see her in full flight.
McElhenney and Reynolds fund the women’s football team at Wrexham to go semi-professional after purchasing the club.

And they helped reach record crowds, selling tickets for just £1 each. The current record crowd in Wales is 5,175 for Cardiff City Women.
The couple, who bought the Welsh club two years ago, are expected to chart the rise of the women’s team in the second season of their TV series Welcome to Wrexham.
They are also expected to discuss their struggle to turn the tide of the Welsh club.
A spokesman for Wrexham AFC said: “The decision to allow players to go semi-professional is designed to give them the best chance of success and to help the club achieve their aim of becoming the best women’s team in Wales in the shortest time practically possible. ‘
