Blake Lively is giving fans a rare glimpse into her family life.

On Friday, Aug. 7, the Another Simple Favor actress shared a carousel of photos from a soccer match between Liverpool Football Club and Wrexham AFC at Yankee Stadium, featuring sweet moments with her husband, Ryan Reynolds, their children and a group of close friends.

Lively reflected on the experience in the caption, thanking the people who have supported her and her family throughout the years.

“@wrexham_afc playing @liverpoolfc at @yankees Stadium… One of the most surreal moments of this wild and beautiful ride ⚽️♥️ thank you to all our friends, family and Wrexham loved ones who came out to cheer on this extraordinary team and for those who have been there all along♥️🙏♥️,” she wrote on Instagram.

She also gave a special shoutout to her longtime friend, photographer Guy Aroch, for documenting the day.

“And thank you to my lifelong friend @guyaroch for not just joining us, but for bringing your camera along and taking these pics. You’ve shown us time and time again, there’s no better gift than having great memories with your loved ones captured ♥️ love you buddy,” Lively added.

The carousel included candid photos of Lively, 38, and Reynolds, 49, enjoying the match with their children and friends, along with snapshots from throughout the day. The final images showed the actress making a footwear swap, beginning with a pair of Christian Louboutin heels before changing into Nike sneakers.

For the outing, Lively wore dark-wash Reformation jeans with a blue linen shirt, accessorizing with Cartier jewelry, a zebra-striped Fendi bag lined in red and an Audemars Piguet watch. Reynolds kept it casual in a plaid shirt, beige pants and white sneakers.

The family outing is the latest glimpse the actress has shared of her life with Reynolds, who has co-owned Wrexham AFC since 2020.

The couple, who have been married for more than 13 years, have frequently shared moments together in recent months. In June, they were photographed enjoying a date night in New York City, where Reynolds was seen giving Lively a piggyback ride before the pair stopped to pose for a selfie with a fan.

Later that month, Lively followed up her Father’s Day tribute to the Deadpool star by sharing three photos of the pair smiling as they strolled through what appeared to be New York City. She paired the post with Sheryl Crow’s “Soak Up the Sun” and a playful caption.
