Ryan Reynolds seemed to have it all — Hollywood success, a booming business portfolio, and the admiration of football fans worldwide thanks to his involvement with Wrexham AFC. But now, everything has taken a shocking turn. Reynolds has been removed from the ownership group of the Welsh club, and the reason behind it points directly to a scandal surrounding his wife, Blake Lively.

What started as a seemingly small conflict in the film industry between Lively and director Justin Baldoni quickly escalated into a full-blown legal battle, with accusations flying and reputations crumbling. And now, Ryan Reynolds finds himself paying the price for a situation he wasn’t even directly involved in — or so it seemed.

So, why was Reynolds really pushed out of Wrexham? What role did he play in the drama surrounding his wife? And most importantly, what does this mean for his future?

Let’s break it down.

Back in 2020, Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney shocked the sports world when they announced they were purchasing Wrexham AFC, then a club languishing in the fifth tier of English football. Two Hollywood stars investing in a small, working-class team? It sounded like a PR stunt — but Reynolds and McElhenney proved their commitment, pouring time, money, and energy into the club. Ryan became the face of Wrexham’s revival, attending matches, promoting the team on social media, and even producing content to grow its global fanbase.

Their efforts paid off — Wrexham earned two consecutive promotions, climbing from the National League to League One. The future looked bright.

But everything started to unravel as Blake Lively’s dispute with Baldoni spiraled into a media circus. The legal battle began exposing private conversations and internal conflicts, and soon, Ryan’s name surfaced. According to leaked documents, Reynolds wasn’t just standing by his wife — he allegedly got involved behind the scenes, influencing the screenplay for the film It Ends With Us and, according to testimonies, even shaping the narrative that painted Baldoni in a negative light.

When private messages were leaked showing Reynolds allegedly advising Lively on how to position herself as the victim, public opinion turned against him. His polished reputation as a witty, lovable businessman took a hit.

The drama didn’t just shake Hollywood. It reached Wrexham too.

Fans and club officials, once proud of Reynolds as a co-owner, began to see him as a distraction. To make matters worse, rumors surfaced that Ryan was in talks to invest in MLS club Vancouver Whitecaps — news that felt like betrayal to Wrexham supporters. Many questioned whether Reynolds had ever intended to commit long-term to the club, or whether Wrexham was just another business move.

Under growing pressure and with the scandal intensifying, the club’s leadership made a bold decision: Ryan Reynolds was officially out. The move hit Reynolds hard, ending not just his role as co-owner but also the special bond he had built with the Wrexham community.

The fallout didn’t stop there. Reports began to swirl about cracks in Ryan and Blake’s marriage. Sources close to the couple claimed tensions had reached an all-time high, with Ryan spending less time at home and the pair noticeably absent from public events together. Their once-envied relationship now looked to be on shaky ground.

Meanwhile, Rob McElhenney moved quickly to assure fans that Wrexham would move forward without Reynolds, stating the club’s plans for growth remain unchanged. But when asked about his former business partner, McElhenney kept it cold and professional — a clear signal their partnership had fractured.

As the Hollywood storm rages on, Ryan’s business empire is beginning to feel the strain. Brands once eager to associate with him are reportedly reconsidering. While no major contracts have been cut — yet — the uncertainty lingers. Social media has also been unkind, with some defending him and others calling him out for his alleged involvement in the scandal.

For Ryan Reynolds, a man who built a career on charm, humor, and smart business moves, the situation is dire. Whether he distances himself from Blake Lively or tries to weather the storm alongside her, one thing is clear: his image may never fully recover.

So, what do you think? Can Ryan Reynolds bounce back from this crisis, or are we witnessing the beginning of the end of his career?
