Travis Kelce Unfollows Ryan Reynolds Amid Blake Lively’s Legal Battle: Here’s Why
NFL star Travis Kelce has sparked internet frenzy after eagle-eyed fans noticed he’s no longer following Ryan Reynolds on Instagram!

NFL star Travis Kelce has sparked internet frenzy after eagle-eyed fans noticed he’s no longer following Ryan Reynolds on Instagram. The unexpected move comes at a delicate time, as Swift’s close friend Blake Lively finds herself entangled in a heated legal battle with It Ends With Us co-star Justin Baldoni. While Kelce has not publicly commented on the unfollow, sources say the timing is far from coincidental. The tight-knit bond between Taylor Swift and Blake Lively has reportedly been strained in recent months, as Lively’s lawsuit against
Justin Baldoni drags the pop icon’s name into headlines she never asked for. According to TMZ, Swift was blindsided when she appeared at a casual hangout at Lively’s home, only to find herself inadvertently pulled into a tense meeting with the film’s production team. Baldoni later cited that surprise encounter in a countersuit, alleging he felt “ambushed” by Swift and Reynolds during the discussion over a rewritten scene.
More surprising, however, are the leaked text messages reportedly exchanged between Lively and Baldoni. In one, Lively referred to Swift and Reynolds as her “dragons,” casting herself as Khaleesi, a nod to Game of Thrones. While perhaps intended playfully, insiders claim Swift took offense, feeling reduced to a weapon being wielded in someone else’s fight.

Adding to the awkwardness, multiple outlets have reported that Swift may be subpoenaed to testify, as her presence at the meeting has become a key detail in Baldoni’s countersuit. For Kelce, who has remained quietly supportive of Swift throughout her high-profile friendships and feuds, the recent legal swirl may have been the final straw. Though Reynolds continues to follow Kelce on social media, fans are reading the NFL player’s silent move as a protective gesture, a digital show of solidarity with Swift as she navigates an increasingly public mess.
Whether this rift will cool down or deepen remains to be seen, but one thing is clear: the fallout from Lively’s legal battle is now reaching far beyond the courtroom.
