Earlier this year, Ryan admitted that his marriage to Blake Lively was put to the test with his latest acquisition.
“I remember seeing Blake and saying, ’I have bad news and I have really bad news,” Ryan said
“The bad news is I slipped into someone’s DMs again. The really bad news is that I might have bought half of a fifth-tier national football league in Wales,” the actor added.
Blake’s reaction was “not great”, Ryan then quipped.
“We’re still working through that one,” he added.
