Ryan Reynolds’ lavish exit used his millions to charter a private jet to New York to reunite with wife Blake Lively just nine hours after the club’s win

Ryan Reynolds didn’t even have time to enjoy a celebratory pint after Wrexham’s win on Monday as he was back home in New York holding hands with wife Blake Lively just nine hours after the referee blew the full-time whistle.

MailOnline can reveal the Hollywood superstar, 46, charted his own £100,000 flight from Manchester airport to Teterboro shortly after watching his side beat Notts County in a pulsating clash at the Racecourse Ground on Easter Monday.

In the build up to the game, Reynolds flew to London from New York before travelling to Chester airport via helicopter and heading to The Racecourse Ground via a chauffeur driven car.

He intends to return back to the UK ahead of Wrexham’s away clash against Barnet on Saturday, splashing out more money to support the Welsh side he co-owns with fellow actor Rob McElhenney, 45, as they look to achieve promotion to the Football League from the Vanarama National League.

A source told MailOnline: ‘Ryan is totally dedicated to Wrexham and the club’s success this season. He wants to see them promoted.

A source told MailOnline that Reynolds is ‘totally dedicated’ to the football club but is also a family man so flying private jet is the ‘only viable option’

‘He knows that him being there gives the team the support they need at such a crucial point, so he is putting in the travel time to ensure they reach this goal.

‘But he’s also a family man and given his status, flying via private jet to also be there for Blake and their children is the only viable option.’

Splashing out on £100,000 for a private jet is small change for the Canadian actor, whose business ventures, including having a stake in T-Mobile, have seen him earn multimillionaire status.

As well as earning millions for his starring film roles, he also banked significant coin selling his ownership in beverage company Diageo for an estimated $610million, as well as co-founding production company Maximum Effort, which has successfully produced viral advertisements.

He purchased football club Wrexham in 2020 for a reported $2.76million and has seen success with the team, hoping to secure a promotion this year from The Vanarama National League to League Two.

Following Wrexham’s win on Monday, Reynolds spoke about the adrenaline rush he experienced watching the game, telling a reporter on the pitch: ‘I don’t feel like I have a heart anymore.

‘I feel like I used all the beats that I had left during that match. That was unlike anything I’ve ever seen before and indicative of course of all you lifers who have watched and participated in this game, this beautiful, tortuous game forever.

‘I am actually grateful in this moment that I didn’t care about this years ago because it would have just eaten me alive… that was really something.’

Reynolds and former Gossip Girl actress Ms Lively have three daughters, James, eight, Inez, six, Betty, three. They welcomed their fourth child, whose name and gender remains unknown, earlier this year

He admitted to being ‘hooked’ to the game, saying ‘it’s troubling how hooked I am… usually I am not at a loss for words, but I am genuinely at a loss for words in this moment.’

The actor also said he felt an ‘immense sense of pride’ watching his team, reflecting on the ‘inner strength’ from the players, who he says ‘rose to the occasion’.

Reynolds has been attracting an A-list crowd at the Welsh football club, with The Crown star Emma Corrin in attendance at Monday’s game.

Posing for a photograph together, Reynolds called Corrin, who played Princess Diana in season five of the Netflix show, a ‘new addition to the family’ – in reference to her being announced as a cast member of Deadpool 3.

Reynolds and former Gossip Girl actress Ms Lively have three daughters, James, eight, Inez, six, Betty, three. They had their fourth child, whose name and gender remains unknown, earlier this year.

They live in a £4.5million mansion in New York with their children but the actor has reportedly purchased a house in the Welsh village of Marford, which is nearby to Wrexham.

The £1.5million four-bedroom property will hopefully give the star a base for when he’s visiting the football club given it is located five miles from the ground.
