Fans notice Travis Kelce unfollowed Ryan Reynolds on Instagram amid alleged Blake-Taylor friendship fallout

Fans think Kelce just confirmed that the Taylor-Blake fallout is real!

Travis Kelce appears to be stepping back from the Blake Lively drama—and fans think his Instagram activity proves it.

According to Page Six, Kansas City Chiefs tight end recently unfollowed Ryan Reynolds on Instagram, a move insiders believe is tied to Reynolds’ wife Blake Lively’s messy legal battle involving actor-director Justin Baldoni.

Lively’s name, along with Reynolds’, has been embroiled in a $400 million defamation suit filed by Baldoni, and the ongoing chaos appears to be driving a wedge between their inner circle.

While unfollowing someone on social media can carry different meanings, it’s often seen as a subtle but clear message.

In Kelce’s case, it's unclear whether the decision was a calculated effort to avoid getting caught up in the media firestorm—or if he's truly cutting ties with the couple.

Page Six previously reported in February that Swift has been intentionally taking “space” from Lively after being indirectly tied to Baldoni’s lawsuit.

The suit mentioned Swift, with her name used in reference to social influence and damage claims, prompting the Grammy winner to feel like she was being treated as a “pawn.”

One of Baldoni’s lead attorneys, Bryan Freedman, even stated, “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.”

The Daily Mail recently reported that both Swift and Reynolds’ longtime friend Hugh Jackman are expected to be subpoenaed as the case progresses toward a 2026 trial.

Sources told Page Six that Lively has apologized to Swift for her unexpected involvement in the legal saga.

Still, the singer reportedly remains focused on distancing herself: “[She] is a strong woman, and she’s not hiding from anything,” a source told the outlet. “Taylor is simply enjoying some alone time with Travis and being under the radar for a little bit.”

The tension marks a shift in what was once a tight-knit friendship.

Swift and Kelce frequently double-dated with Lively and Reynolds throughout 2023 and 2024, and the Hollywood couple was even seen cheering on Kelce at Chiefs games from the sidelines.

Now, with Kelce’s quiet social media move and Swift keeping her distance, fans are left wondering just how fractured this once star-powered foursome has become.
