Travis Kelce has distanced himself from Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively despite their former friendly ties through Taylor Swift. Early this year, reports surfaced that Kelce unfollowed Reynolds on social media after his girlfriend became involved in Lively’s high-profile legal dispute with Justin Baldoni. Once close enough to share double date nights and attend the Super Bowl together, Kelce and Swift have since pulled back from the Hollywood couple amid ongoing reluctance to engage with their world.
Kelce Prefers a Simple Life Away from Hollywood’s Spotlight
Insider Rob Shuter reports that Kelce respects a straightforward lifestyle and views Reynolds as more absorbed in Hollywood’s glamor than genuine personal connection. Though he finds Reynolds amusing, Kelce reportedly senses insincerity and feels out of place in the “curated celebrity world” that Reynolds and Lively embody. The Kansas City Chiefs star aligns strongly with Taylor Swift and embraces his grounded Midwestern roots over Hollywood’s extravagance.
Previous Close Ties with the Celebrity Couple Have Frayed
Kelce and Swift previously enjoyed close moments with Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively, including double dates and prominent public appearances such as the Super Bowl. However, tensions arose after Lively filed a sexual harassment lawsuit against her co-star Justin Baldoni, which escalated when Baldoni countersued with a $400 million claim, mentioning Swift and subpoenaing her during the legal battle. These developments have strained the relationships involved and led to the distancing observed.
Legal Drama Deepens the Divide Between the Friends
As the dispute over the case progressed, both Kelce and Swift chose to step away from interactions with Reynolds and Lively. Their once strong decade-long friendship appears to have suffered irreparable damage amid the turmoil. Although Baldoni eventually withdrew his subpoena against Swift and a judge dismissed his countersuit, the effects on the social dynamics remain evident, with Kelce firmly maintaining his space from the Hollywood couple’s sphere.
