Ryan Reynolds, known for his ownership of Wrexham AFC, is gearing up for a new challenge alongside Rob McElhenney. The duo spearheaded a takeover in 2021, propelling the Welsh club from the National League to the Championship. Despite a recent loss to Hull City, Wrexham is on track for a potential promotion to the Premier League this season.
Reynolds, 49, has had a dynamic career since his early days as a child actor, with notable successes in both his personal life and investments. His estimated net worth hovers around £300 million, largely attributed to his acting roles in Deadpool and Detective Pikachu. Furthermore, Reynolds has made strategic business moves, including a lucrative sale of Mint Mobile shares and Aviation Gin to Diageo.
Recently, Reynolds and McElhenney sold a stake in Wrexham to Apollo Sports Capital, indicating a valuation of approximately £350 million for the club. On the personal front, Reynolds is happily married to Blake Lively, with whom he shares four children. Prior to his current marriage, Reynolds was married to Scarlett Johansson for over two years before their amicable split in 2010.
In an exciting development, Reynolds and McElhenney are set to make their commentary debut on Sky Sports for the Wrexham vs. Swansea City Championship match. The duo expressed enthusiasm for the event, highlighting their unfamiliarity with sports commentary but pledging their best efforts. Sky Sports has also announced a discounted Essential TV and Sky Sports bundle for the 2025/26 season, offering a wide range of live matches and content across various sports.
The collaboration between Reynolds, McElhenney, and Sky Sports promises an entertaining and unpredictable event, showcasing the duo’s passion for football and their commitment to engaging with fans.
