“Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively embark on a captivating journey to London, igniting a new chapter in their lives: A transatlantic love story unfolds as Hollywood’s beloved couple embraces the charm of the UK.”

Ryan Reynolds’s been dubbed the ‘Real life Ted Lasso’ by fans

And since the two are worth about £77.6 million together, they’ll have plenty of famous neighbors.

Fans have dubbed him the “true-to-life Ted Lasso.” As he settles into a house in Richmond, the backdrop of the popular series, Ryan Reynolds increasingly mirrors the comedic charm of the character.

The 46-year-old actor and his 35-year-old spouse, Blake Lively, reportedly secured a £4 million, five-bedroom estate in a London suburb. Their stay there is anticipated to be long-term as Ryan gears up for filming the third installment of the Deadpool series in the heart of the capital.

The allure of the area is undeniable, drawing in A-listers seeking a slice of serenity. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie once called it home during significant portions of their married life, while Jason Sudeikis immersed himself in the neighborhood’s ambiance while embodying the role of Ted Lasso, the fictional American coach of AFC Richmond.

For Hollywood power couple Ryan and Blake, expanding their horizons to London seemed like the natural progression, especially with their brood of daughters—James, 8, Inez, 6, Betty, 3, and their newest addition born earlier this year. This decision was further cemented by Blake’s ownership of Wrexham AFC since 2021, immersing her fully into Welsh culture and life.

Ryan even penned a television series chronicling their adventures with the club, culminating in a triumphant return to the Football League after a 15-year hiatus.

“Britain has truly captured Ryan and Blake’s hearts,” a close associate revealed recently. “It has become more than just a place to visit; it’s a second home to them. They’ve cultivated meaningful friendships in the UK, making it a logical choice to establish roots here.”

“While their affection for Wrexham is undeniable, their professional commitments in London make it a more practical base compared to Wales,” remarked a source close to the couple. “Given the relatively compact size of the UK compared to the vast expanse of the US, distances between locations are relatively manageable, making London a strategic hub for their endeavors.”

According to a source close to the couple, Ryan and Blake have embarked on a quest for the ideal residence closer to London, a pursuit that has spanned a considerable duration. After meticulous consideration of numerous options, they ultimately settled on Richmond, drawn to its enticing blend of urban proximity and suburban tranquility. They were captivated by its picturesque homes, sprawling green landscapes, exquisite dining establishments, and the scenic riverside setting, all of which encapsulate the essence of the quintessential English lifestyle.

Eager to plant roots in Richmond, Blake and Ryan are eagerly anticipating immersing themselves in the vibrant community and forging new friendships. They playfully jest about adopting the quintessential British customs of sipping tea and affectionately calling each other “mate,” a testament to their genuine affection for the UK, which they now consider a second home.

Renowned for their grounded nature, Blake and Ryan have wholeheartedly embraced the UK lifestyle, choosing to raise their children in its rich cultural tapestry.

Ryan’s affinity for Wales has reached new heights, humorously declaring, “Bury me in Wales!” In a recent announcement, he revealed a groundbreaking deal with American broadcaster S4C, aiming to introduce Welsh-language programming to US audiences. Among the slated shows are the bilingual crime drama “Bang,” the documentary series “Pen Petrol” delving into the world of young petrolheads in North Wales, and “Y Wal Goch,” a football-themed talk show hosted by singer Yws Gwynedd and Mari Lovgreen. This venture further cements Ryan’s deep-rooted connection to Welsh culture and his commitment to sharing its richness with a global audience.

Their visit to the Great British Bake Off tent in June, where they snapped pictures with baking legends Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith, sparked a frenzy among fans and fueled rumors of a potential appearance on the Stand Up To Cancer charity show.

Although Ryan recently debunked rumors of a house purchase in Wales, it seems he and Blake have found a permanent residence in the UK with their new Richmond home. Initially hesitant about Ryan’s ownership of the football club, Blake has since embraced the community wholeheartedly, declaring her newfound obsession with its potential.

With a combined net worth of approximately £77.6 million, the couple originally settled in a £1.5 million home in Bedford, New York, shortly after their whirlwind romance began in 2012. However, rumors suggest they may be considering a permanent move to the UK, where they could potentially rub shoulders with neighbors like Stanley Tucci, Ryan’s friend and co-star in “The Devil Wears Prada,” who resides in London with his wife, Felicity Blunt.

Their bond runs deep, as evidenced by Ryan’s unwavering support when Stanley received the all-clear from mouth cancer. Stanley recounted in his book how Ryan’s heartfelt reaction brought tears to his eyes, underscoring their close friendship.

Blake, too, shares a tight-knit connection with celebrities, notably her enduring friendship with Taylor Swift since 2015. With Taylor residing in Primrose Hill before her recent breakup with Joe Alwyn, she’ll undoubtedly be eager to show Blake around her former neighborhood.

Ryan and Blake’s love story unfolded amidst the backdrop of Hollywood. Meeting on the set of Green Lantern in 2010, their initial encounter occurred while Ryan was married to Scarlett Johansson, and Blake was romantically linked to her Gossip Girl co-star Penn Badgley. However, fate intervened, and a chance encounter on a train to Boston a year later sparked what Ryan described as a fairy tale romance. They tied the knot within a year and embarked on the journey of parenthood together.

Now that their romantic journey has led them across the pond, a close source reveals, “Ryan adores everything about the UK—the people, the culture, and particularly the cuisine.” Recently acquiring a house in Richmond, Ryan is keen for his family to immerse themselves further in British life.

The couple and their children have seamlessly settled into their UK abode, feeling entirely at ease. Consequently, Ryan, Blake, and their kids consider the UK their second home, prompting plans to divide their time between London and their primary residence in New York.
