Ryan Reynolds doesn’t want anyone talking shirtless to wife Blake Lively, especially not a soccer star. Ollie Palmer.

Reynolds, co-owner of Wrexham’s Football Club, appears on the Fearless in Commitment podcast on Tuesday, where he opened up about his time with the team. “Every time we come as a family and stuff, we’ll walk down to the locker room, and Ollie is the first guy to walk out of that locker room completely shirtless to have a conversation with my wife,” Reynolds said of the team ‘s striker.

“I’m always like, ‘Ollie, put on a fucking shirt and come back like a gentleman,'” he jokingly recalls.

The 46-year-old bought the Wrexham Football Club in 2020 alongside fellow actor Rob McElhenney, who quickly propelled the Welsh side back into the English Football League after a 15-year absence. The two play a key role in the team’s development, and Reynolds is personal friends with Palmer, even if he refuses to wear a shirt around Lively.
