Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed Tuesday in a Christmas ownership update on the club’s website, which came on the heels of Stewart watching Swansea City beat Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney’s Wrexham AFC 2-1 in person on Friday.

“We are delighted to confirm Martha, who has built a long and successful career as America’s leading homemaking and lifestyle expert, has followed Snoop and (Croatian soccer star) Luka Modric in becoming a minority owner of our football club,” fellow Swansea City owners Brett Cravatt and Jason Cohen said in the update.

Snoop Dogg joined the club as a co-owner and investor in July.

Stewart wasn’t quoted in the club’s announcement and hasn’t commented on her social media platforms.

Swansea City is currently 19th in the Championship table with 26 points, seven shy of relegation. Wrexham is four spots and two points ahead of its Welsh rival, but both clubs are a far cry from being promoted to the Premier League as one of the top two teams in the league.

Coventry City and Middlesbrough are the top contenders for those promotions with 48 and 42 points respectively.

Stewart and Snoop Dogg have partnered on multiple businesses ventures since launching their surprise hit show Martha & Snoop’s Potluck Dinner Party in 2016, which saw the two host culinary shindigs with celebrity guests.

Since then, they’ve partnered on other TV shows, marketing campaigns and even ice cream and gin brands.
