Travis Kelce has sparked online speculation after reportedly unfollowing Ryan Reynolds on Instagram amid rising tensions involving Blake Lively’s legal battle with Justin Baldoni. The move, drawing attention from fans and media alike, comes as reports suggest Kelce and Taylor Swift are seeking distance from the ongoing controversy surrounding their former close friends.
Here’s what we know so far about Travis Kelce’s social media decision.
Did Travis Kelce unfollow Ryan Reynolds on Instagram?
Travis Kelce reportedly unfollowed Ryan Reynolds on Instagram following Blake Lively’s legal drama with Justin Baldoni.
Page Six reported that Kelce unfollowed Reynolds to distance himself from Lively’s “messy legal nightmare” related to the It Ends With Us lawsuit. The outlet contacted Kelce’s representatives for comment but received no immediate response.
It remains unclear whether Kelce ended his friendship with Reynolds or acted to avoid being pulled into the surrounding controversy. Sources previously told Page Six that Taylor Swift, Kelce’s girlfriend, felt like a “pawn” after being mentioned in Baldoni’s $400 million defamation lawsuit against Lively and Reynolds. Bryan Freedman, Baldoni’s attorney, said, “I don’t know that we’re going to depose Taylor Swift. I think that that’s going to be probably a game time decision.” Last week the news came out that Swift and Hugh Jackman may soon be subpoenaed in the lawsuit, which will go to trial in 2026.
Lively reportedly apologized to Swift for dragging her into the legal battle. A source told Page Six, “[Swift] is a strong woman, and she’s not hiding from anything.”
Fans first noticed the unfollow over the weekend when a Reddit user posted, “Yikes,” sharing screenshots showing Kelce had previously followed Reynolds. Reynolds still follows Kelce as of writing.
Swift and Kelce, who began dating in the summer of 2023, used to go on double dates with Lively and Reynolds. Reynolds and Swift have been close friends since 2015, and Swift has referenced their children in her music.
