Travis Kelce is team Taylor Swift all the way. The Kansas City Chiefs tight end seems to be fully supporting his girlfriend as she navigates the ups and downs of her friendship with former bestie Blake Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds. Rumors are flying that things between Taylor and Blake have gotten a bit messy, and it looks like it’s bleeding over to Travis and Ryan as well. This week, it was revealed that Kelce had unfollowed Reynolds on social media.
The unfollowing was first noticed by eagle-eyed fans on Reddit, who shared screenshots showing that Travis Kelce no longer follows Blake Likely’s hubby, Ryan Reynolds, despite previously liking his posts and following him since August 2023, around the time the NFL player began dating Taylor Swift.
Travis Kelce Unfollows Ryan Reynolds on Social Media
This social media shift comes amid ongoing legal drama involving Lively and her “It Ends With Us” co-star and director Justin Baldoni (via Page Six). Baldoni has filed a $400 million defamation and extortion lawsuit against Lively, alleging that she used Swift and Reynolds to pressure him into accepting her script edits. Baldoni’s lawsuit claims that Lively referred to Swift and Reynolds as her “dragons” in a message, suggesting they were used to intimidate him.
Taylor was reportedly unaware of the extent of her involvement, felt “used” and “like a pawn” in the legal battle, leading her to distance herself from Blake and Ryan. However, reports have surfaced claiming that Lively has since apologized to Swift, and the two are said to have reconciled.
