Blake Lively has been married to Wrexham co-owner and Deadpool star Ryan Reynolds for more than a decade now and once outlined the key rules the couple have following since their relationship first blossomed.
Lively has been married to Reynolds since 2012 and the couple now have four children together.
The pair are of course both Hollywood stars, with Reynolds adding to his fame and popularity on this side of the Atlantic after becoming an owner of Wrexham along with fellow actor Rob McElhenney in late 2020.
Under their ownership, the Dragons have risen from the National League to League One via successive promotions, and Phil Parkinson's side are among the sides in the race fighting for automatic promotion to the Championship.

Reynolds' wife Lively is currently embroiled in a legal compliant she has made against her 'It Ends With Us' co-star Justin Baldoni.
In the complaint which has been filed to the California Civil Right Department, Lively has alleged there has been sexual harassment and a smear campaign to 'destroy' her reputation by Baldoni and his team.
Baldoni's legal team have categorically denied the allegations and the legal filing was made following a meeting between Lively, Reynolds, and Baldoni, who directed and starred in 'It Ends With Us' which was released earlier this year.
It remains to be seen what will unfold next, with the legal complaint being the step before any potential lawsuit.
Reynolds first met Lively on the set of the DC Comics superhero movie Green Lantern in 2011, and they tied the knot the following year.
And speaking to Elle earlier this year about the one rule they have in their relationship, Lively revealed: "When Ryan and I got together, we made a rule not to work at the same time.
"So that we could always prioritise our personal life.
"That takes working really hard when we're not. Just like financial planning and sustaining that; it takes balance.
"I'm used to working hard and going and going and going and going and not stopping.
"Especially, Gossip Girl was six years of my life, and we were sometimes shooting three episodes at once."
Meanwhile, in another interview Lively explained that a key priority for the couple is ensuring that at least one of them is always home to help support their children James, Inez, Betty and Olin.
"Ryan had a nice, normal upbringing, and we want our kids to have the same normal life that we had," Lively told Marie Claire in 2016.
"We don't ever want to rob them of what we had because then we'd feel really selfish."
Lively has been spotted alongside her husband Reynolds at Wrexham's Racecourse Ground as several celebrities are often spotted at the North Wales club's home.
More recently, actor Channing Tatum and Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong have been among the stars to see Wrexham in action live and watched the Dragons draw 2-2 against Cambridge United earlier this month.
