She said yes and the two embraced in a kiss.
The 44-year-old actor has since caught wind of the proposal and tweeted a response to his millions of followers.
“I thought everyone in KC was an Ant-Man fan,” Reynolds shared, noting how “Ant-Man” star Paul Rudd is a huge KC Chiefs fan. “Congrats to the happy couple!”

The lucky lady, Briana Sue McAlister, also shared in a comments thread on Facebook how the whole team was in on the big moment and she was truly surprised.
“I can’t say thank you enough to The Kansas City Chiefs and the NFL for helping my amazing fiance Toby Kostner pull off this proposal,” she wrote. “I honestly had zero clue he was going to do this! He is absolutely my person and I can’t wait to be his wife! Our story started with the Deadpool movie and I’m proud to have that Ring Pop as we move to the next phase of our lives!”
Congratulations!
