Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds were all smiles leaving MetLife Stadium after the Kansas City Chiefs' victory on Sunday night.

After Kansas City defeated the New York Jets 23-20, Lively, 36, and Reynolds, 46, were spotted congratulating quarterback Patrick Mahomes on the win, as seen in a video on X shared by reporter Rich Jones.

Mahomes, 28, greeted the couple on their way out of the building, and the Deadpool star looked thrilled when he spotted the two-time Super Bowl winner in the tunnel of the stadium.

Reynolds and Mahomes shared a hug and chatted briefly about the close game, and Lively appeared to tell the quarterback he was "amazing" during the conversation.

Lively and Reynolds attended the game with their longtime pal, Taylor Swift, amid her rumored romance with Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.

The group was joined by the quarterback's wife Brittany Mahomes, along with Swift's friends Sophie Turner, Robyn Lively, Hugh Jackman, Sabrina Carpenter and Antoni Porowski as the group cheered from a suite. Director Shawn Levy was seen entering the stadium with Swift and others,

The group visited the Italian restaurant Emilio’s Ballato on Saturday and sat in a back room of the restaurant for over four hours, with Brittany staying till 1 a.m. local time, while Swift left shortly after around 1:30 a.m.

The Chiefs quarterback was among the family and friends who joined Swift and Kelce at a local restaurant in Kansas City after their game against the Chicago Bears on Sept. 24.

"Yeah, I met her," Mahomes told reporters at a press conference. "She's really cool, good people."

The NFL MVP (and one of Kelce's best friends) then reiterated the tight end's plans to keep the rumored romance private. "But like Trav said, man, I'm going to let them have their privacy and just keep it moving," Mahomes added, referring to Kelce's comments on Wednesday about the future of his and Swift's relationship.

Immediately following the game, Mahomes said he hadn't met Swift yet but had been informed "at the last minute" by Kelce that she'd be in attendance before the game kicked off.

“There’s things with Trav where he kind of just says it and you don’t know if it’s true or not,” the Chiefs quarterback said after last week's game, according to KCTV5’s Jared Koller. “It was like Friday and he was just like, ‘Oh yeah, I think she’s coming to the game.’ ”
