Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds are embarking on an exciting new venture with their family and it's very different from other A-list families.

As previously reported, the A-list couple are said to have purchased a home near the grounds of the Wrexham soccer club, which Ryan part owns.

But rather than picking up a pad in a bustling city, Blake and Ryan will raise their four children, James, eight, Inez, six, and Betty, three and their new baby, part time in the sleepy Welsh village of Marford.

Fans assume this will be quite the change for the stars, however, their surroundings in the Pound Ridge neighborhood of New York, where they spend most of their time, is geographically similar to Marford

Not only that, but it's been reported that the homes aren't too dissimilar from one another.

Ryan has spoken about his wholesome family life in the past. "we don't lead a wild and crazy life. "We don't live in L.A., we live on a farm in New York," he said. "I've never been the guy stumbling out of bars at three in the morning, at least that anyone is aware of. It's never been my thing."

Blake and Ryan have a history of keeping their children out of the spotlight and they've not yet revealed the name and gender of their fourth child, who was born in February.

"I'm just fine being surrounded by estrogen," he added. "I grew up in a house full of testosterone: I'm the youngest of four boys, and my dad was a cop, and that's intense.

"I would not be an unhappy man if I had a six-person soccer team of girls," he joked.
