Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively's level of support for each other is #goals.

After the Deadpool star's soccer team Wrexham A.F.C. won the National League title and were promoted to the English Football League on April 22, the Gossip Girl alum celebrated the major victory.

Blake reposted a video captured by Paul Rudd on her Instagram Stories that showed Ryan and co-owner Rob McElhenney taking in the moment Wrexham beat Boreham Wood F.C. at Racecourse Ground in Wales. 

"My favorite video of the whole day. And that's saying A LOT," the actress captioned the footage on April 23. "What a day. What a year. What a lifetime. Congratulations @robmcelhenney @vancityreynolds @wrexham_afc and to every single person in Wrexham and the world over who made seemingly impossible dreams come true yesterday. This is my kind of fairytale.." 

In addition to resharing Blake's post on his Instagram Stories, Ryan revealed what the championship win was like for him. 

"Rob and I kinda blacked out during this moment," the actor tweeted, "but somehow we'll never forget it."

And Ryan expressed his gratitude to the fans who've rooted for the team along the way.

"Everything I own smells like champagne, beer and grass," he wrote in another tweet. "I'm still somewhere between giggling and sobbing. This town and this sport is one of the most romantic things on earth. Thank you, @wrexham_afc."

Of course, followers know that Blake and Ryan cheer for each other whether they're on or off the field. To see how they've been a united team and read some of their sweetest quotes about each other, keep scrolling.

"Quite frankly, you're my heart, you're my hope, you're my happiness," Ryan Reynolds told Blake Lively and their children while accepting The People's Icon Award at the 2022 People's Choice Awards. "I joke that my family exhausts me but, in reality, you give me more strength than any man could possibly deserve."
 

"When [birth] happens you fall so much more in love with your partner. It's a pretty crazy experience," Reynolds told E! News in March 2015. 

"We've never gone a week without seeing each other. There's no major decision that I make without him. The best part is when we turn off our phones and just talk and hang out," she told Marie Claire in August 2014. "He's my best, best friend. What do you do with your best friend? You do nothing."

"I said to Ryan, 'Darling, I made a new friend.' And he's like, 'You only make friends with senior citizens!'" Lively told Vogue in July 2014. 

"He is charming. He does come up with funny things," Blake told POPSUGAR in an interview. 

"I'll do anything to be with them," Reynolds said of his wife and daughter at an interview with AOL Build in July 2015. 

"It was weird at first but we were buddies for a long time," he said on Entertainment Weekly's SiriusXM show. "I think it's the best way to have a relationship is to start as friends."

"I love that he challenges me," Blake told E! News in August 2014. "He's someone that I trust when he challenges me."

"Oh, she's quite a baker," Reynolds told E! News at the premiere of The Green Lantern in June 2011 before they were even officially a couple. "There's nothing she can't cook, that's sort of the problem."

"I'm very lucky to be with someone who has better taste than me," Lively told Lucky magazine in July 2013.
