Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively buy multi-million dollar London property

Ryan Reynolds has purchased a new home in London.

The ‘Deadpool’ star and his wife Blake Lively have a splashed out on a £4 million property in south-west London as he shoots the third movie in the superhero franchise – which has been put on hold due to the Hollywood actors strike – in Britain.

It had been reported earlier this year that the Wrexham FC co-owner had bought a £1.5 million home in Wales close to the team’s Racecourse Ground but the pair – who have children James, eight, Inez, six, Betty, three, and a baby born in February together – felt that it made “more sense” to put down roots in London.

A source close to the Hollywood couple told the Mail on Sunday newspaper: “Ryan and Blake just love Britain, it has become a real second home for them. They have made some really good friends in the UK, so it made sense to have a proper base here.
