Ryan Reynolds has been dealt some disappointing news after reuniting with his wife Blake Lively and their four children.
The Deadpool actor appears to have been living in Wales following his soccer club, Wrexham's promotion in April, and it was only on Friday morning that he shared a video of himself out for a walk in the "cold UK".
However, according to several fan videos on Twitter, Ryan was spotted at Taylor Swift's Eras show in Philadelphia on Friday night alongside Blake, but it may have been difficult for him to enjoy as it has been reported that his bid to buy the Ottawa Senators is not moving forward.
Ryan joined forces with real estate developer Remington Group to acquire the NHL franchise after news of their sale was announced in November following the death of longtime owner Eugene Melnyk.

In December, commissioner Gary Bettman confirmed the league had met with Ryan about his interest in becoming an NHL owner. "[Reynolds] very much impressed us," Bettman said at the NHL's Board of Governors meetings. "If we can figure out a way to have him included, I think that would be great for the Senators and great for the league.

Ryan first expressed his interest in buying the Ottawa Senators in November during an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. "I am trying to [buy the team]; it's very expensive, so I need a partner with really deep pockets," he told host Jimmy Fallon.

Ryan's first entry into the world of sports ownership was with his purchase of Wrexham. He and co-owner, Rob McElhenney purchased the English football club in 2021. In April, Wrexham were promoted to the Football League for the first time in 15 years.

Snoop – whose real name is Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr. – shared a photo on Instagram of a headline that read: "Snoop Dogg has joined a bid to purchase the Ottawa Senators," and he wrote in his caption: "Boss moves," next to two hockey emojis.
