Ryan Reynolds Dodges Question About Travis Kelce Unfollowing Him

4 hours ago 1

When it comes to the question of whether Travis Kelce unfollowed him, Ryan Reynolds is leaving a blank space. 

Amid Ryan and wife Blake Lively’s ongoing It Ends With Us legal battle with Justin Baldoni, eagle-eyed fans spotted last week that Taylor Swift’s boyfriend Travis no longer follows the Deadpool star on Instagram. 

However, Ryan—who still follows Travis on the photo-sharing app—dodged questions concerning the topic during a recent interaction with fans at Green Day’s Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony May 1. 

In a video shared by the Daily Mail May 3, Ryan runs up to a crowd of fans to sign autographs, and ignores a photographer who continuously asks, “What happened with Travis Kelce?”

Instead of entertaining the prodding paparazzi, Ryan moves his way through the crowd expressionless as he signs multiple autographs and poses for selfies. In fact, Ryan only breaks his silence once amid the interaction, holding up a marker to ask, “Who’s pen is this?” 

Ryan’s dodge comes amid continued circulating rumors on whether there is any bad blood between Taylor, Blake and Ryan as she could be subpoenaed in the latter actors’ legal battle, multiple outlets reported last month. 

However, when rumors of a feud between Taylor and Blake first began to circulate in January, a source confirmed to E! News at the time that they are simply “not true.”

And while Taylor, Travis, Blake and Ryan haven’t been spotted on a double date night in the last few months, Taylor has been keeping a low profile on all fronts since the Eras Tour wrapped in December, only stepping out publicly a handful of times.

Meanwhile, the “Karma” singer has emphasized her bond with Blake and Ryan—who share kids James, 10, Inez, 8, Betty, 5, and Olin, 2 over their 10-plus years of friendship. After all, their kids are name-dropped on Taylor’s folklore album, and James is featured in the opening voice memo in Taylor’s 2017 hit “Gorgeous.”

Blake, for her part, has worked personally with Taylor, too, even going so far as to direct her 2021 music video for “I Bet You Think About Me.” In an acceptance speech for Red (Taylor’s Version) at the American Music Awards the following year, Taylor made a point to shout out her “beautiful, brilliant friend” Blake.

While on tour in Australia, Taylor Swift spent time at Warner Bros. Movie World theme park with Blake Lively, who was also there filming The Shallows.

"Yesterday was such an amazing day off—roller coasters, kangaroos and LOLs with @blakelively," the "Lavender Haze" singer wrote on Instagram at the time. Soon after, Blake was spotted shaking it off at Taylor's 1989 World Tour concert in Adelaide.

This first sighting of the duo hanging out came just three months after the Gossip Girl alum was accused of throwing shade at Taylor's "Bad Blood" music video on Instagram. But Blake denied that now they had baaaaaad blood, writing on Twitter, "Umm whoever thought I was throwin shade clearly doesn't know I have a 'Taylor Swift Please Be My Wife Voo Doo Doll.'"

Blake also shared a backstage photo of a few family members with Taylor on tour. "Look how rad she is here making my niece Heather feel like a rock star," she wrote. "Love my Canadian family almost as much as I love Taylor Lively. I mean Swift. Ok, FIIINE we can hyphenate our last names. Xo Blake Swift-Lively 4eva."

For Taylor's 25th birthday, Blake sent a very special surprise: a cat pie.

In a since-deleted Instagram post, Taylor shared a photo of the pastry (featuring her beloved cats Meredith and Olivia), with a message on it that reads "Happy Thanksgiving Birthday."

Taylor captioned the post, "Blake wins at birthday pies," adding, "I honestly can't stop laughing rn."

Taylor traveled to upstate New York to attend Blake's baby shower held at the Bedford Post Inn. And it wouldn't be the last time the Grammy winner would make the trip to the couple's north-of-New-York-City home.

In October 2016, a source exclusively told E! News that Taylor spent a weekend with Blake and Ryan, even visiting Blake at the hospital after she gave birth to the pair's second daughter, Inez.

After Taylor released a song titled "Gorgeous," off her sixth studio album, reputation, fans theorized that the child's voice featured in the track's intro belonged to James Reynolds, Blake and Ryan's oldest daughter. (Blake and Ryan "liked" Taylor's preview of the song on Instagram, only fueling speculation.) 

And when Taylor released her album, she officially confirmed in the liner notes that the "baby intro voice" belongs to James.

Then there was the time Blake and Ryan had the most pure reaction to hearing the track during Taylor's concert at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough the following year. Only love for our mom and dad.

Taylor delighted her fans when she released a surprise album, folklore, that she recorded while isolating during the coronavirus pandemic. One song that stood out was "betty," which uses the names James, Inez and, of course, Betty. Listeners theorized that Betty was the name of Blake and Ryan's third daughter as the private pair had yet to publicly announce it. And Ryan later confirmed the revelation. 

 "The names are the names of our kids but, you know, we trust her implicitly and she's very sensitive to any of that stuff," Ryan said on an August 2021 episode of The Jess Cagle Show. "And obviously the song has nothing to do with our kids other than our kids' names. But, I mean, what an honor. I don't know. We thought it was pretty damn amazing. We still do."

Taylor and Blake went from BFFs to collaborators when the Betty Buzz founder directed the music video for "I Bet You Think About Me," a vault track from Red (Taylor's Version).

"I finally got to work with the brilliant, brave, & wickedly funny @blakelively on her directorial debut," Taylor raved on Instagram and Twitter. "Join us as we raise a toast, and a little hell."

That same month, Blake and Ryan helped Taylor celebrate her performance on Saturday Night Live, enjoying a night out in New York City with Cara Delevingne, Taylor's onetime boyfriend Joe Jonas, his wife Sophie Turner and The Queen's Gambit star and that night's host Anya Taylor-Joy.

After the release of Taylor's 10th studio album Midnights, Ryan opened up about how his and Blake's daughters feel about the superstar being a close family friend.

"I think what's most exciting for them is that for the longest time they just thought Taylor's just a, you know, like an aunt, like a friend of mommy and daddy that's very, very close, almost family," the Deadpool star explained on SiriusXM's The Jess Cagle Show. "And then they went to a concert one day and were like, 'Ohhhhh, this isn't a hobby.'"

Ryan went on to share that their children were such fans of Taylor's tunes that her music is "like a religion in their house" and revealed he, Blake and the girls had a Taylor-themed celebration planned after his interview.

"I'm not making this up. We are having a Taylor Swift Midnights dance party right after this," Ryan said. "It's Sunday. We're headed straight to the porch where we're doing a full dance number set to Midnights—swear words included. My favorite thing is when a 3-year-old is just throwing down the F-bomb in a song and has no idea."

April 2023

Shortly after it was confirmed that Taylor and her boyfriend Joe Alwyn had broken up after six years of dating, Taylor was spotted in a getaway car with Blake and Ryan. Literally.

The trio was spotted catching a ride together after having dinner at Manhattan hotspot Casa Cipriani April 19 amid Taylor's sold-out Eras stadium tour. But several days later, Taylor and Blake, who welcomed her fourth child earlier this year, ditched Ryan when they had a squad day out with Gigi Hadid and sisters Este, Danielle and Alana Haim. The group spent some quality time at the private club Zero Bond.

Of the game, and of the excitement around taylor's NFL attendances, Ryan told Extra, "It's a lot of fun. The NFL right now is reaching a kind of fever pitch that is usually only reserved for the Super Bowl, but here we are at the fourth or fifth game of the year and it's already happening."

During an appearance on Today, Ryan joked that he and Blake hadn't shared the name of their fourth child yet because they were still waiting on Taylor to share the moniker with them—a nod to her song "betty" on folklore. 

"We always wait for Taylor to tell us what the child's name will be," the Deadpool & Wolverine star joked. "And, we'll say this: we're still waiting, so Taylor, let's maybe start. You know, she's a prolific writer. I mean, what are we doing here? And lazy is not a word I'd attach to Taylor." 

Later that month, Blake attended one of the Grammy winner's Eras Tour shows in Madrid, where Taylor gave an onstage shoutout to her children
