Her blonde locks were parted to the side and effortlessly flowed down past her shoulders in light waves.
She carried a brown backpack and stylish purse for a finishing touch to her ensemble for the day.
Reynolds also kept it casual wearing a pair of denim jeans as well as a dark gray hoodie.
Lively later jumped to her Instagram stories to share a selfie that she took with Reynolds inside the empty stadium.
In text added towards the top of the post, the star typed out: ‘What. A. Game. @wrexham_afc @chelseafc.’
Her appearance on Saturday comes just two months before the actress is set to go to trial for her lawsuit against Baldoni in May in New York City.
The star filed a lawsuit in December 2024 where she accused Baldoni of sexual harassment and launching a smear campaign against her. The pair had previously starred in the 2024 film It Ends With Us, which Baldoni also directed.
Baldoni responded with a $400 million lawsuit against the actress as well as filing a $250 million libel claim against the New York Times which reported on Lively’s allegations. The case was later dismissed by a judge in June of last year.

Last month in February, Lively and Baldoni attended a settlement hearing in NYC – but the actress abruptly left following six hours of negotiations.
She made her way out of the courtroom while also accompanied by her lawyer Michael Gottleb at the time.
Just minutes later, Baldoni also exited the courthouse and was joined by his wife Emily for support.
His attorney Bryan Freedman had been asked if settlement conversations could resume and he simply replied, ‘I don’t know that he will.’
A previous settlement conference had taken place on January 22, but neither Lively or Baldoni attended.
It came shortly after legal filings shed light on Lively’s private, and often explosive, text messages with some of her A-list pals.
The following day, Baldoni made an appearance at the courthouse once again for his second day of settlement hearings related to his ongoing litigation with Lively.
He returned to the US District Court in Manhattan in a related case linked to his former publicist Stephanie Jones.
Most recently, audio tapes obtained by the Daily Mail reveal Baldoni had insisted that Lively play the lead role of Lily Bloom in It Ends With Us.

Fans of the novel had wanted Chilling Adventures of Sabrina star Abigail Cowan to be cast in the part.
However, Baldoni had told Lively that he did not want ‘some 22-year-old fresh out of college’ in the role.
He further explained, ‘That’s not the movie I was interested in making,’ referring to movies that have an older man with a much younger love interest.
The upcoming trial is set to be held on May 18 in NYC.
