Travis Kelce cannot ‘pretend to be bros’ with Ryan Reynolds, says ‘source’
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are reportedly laying low amid the legal issues with Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively. Per the Daily Mail’s exclusive report, Kelce’s latest approach is in light of the media scrutiny and shifting allegiances. With an escalating legal clash at the center of the unraveling, the high-profile friendship is visibly under pressure.
The chaos began in December when Blake Lively launched a sexual harassment lawsuit against Justin Baldoni. The director countersued with a colossal $400 million, accusing Lively and Reynolds of defamation. While each party denied allegations, Swift was swept into the crosscurrents through texts cited in Baldoni’s legal filing. By extension, Kelce became a part of the drama due to his association with Swift.
After remaining silent throughout the conflict, Kelce quietly unfollowed Reynolds on Sunday. This marked a subtle yet meaningful gesture that Swifties were quick to notice. Kelce’s confidante told Daily Mail: “Travis unfollowed Ryan because he is fed up with the whole drama.” The insider added, “He [Kelce] is concerned that he could potentially be questioned too since he was with Taylor as some of this was going down.” The source commented, “He is not going to pretend to be bros with someone who would throw him or Taylor under the bus.”
The insider also added that Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce decided to “cut out” Ryan and Blake Lively “for the time being.” The person anticipated that their friendship would not be the same. However, they added, “Once all of this blows over it will change but as of right now this is the way it is.” Hence, there is hope that it is not the end of one of pop culture’s favorite double dates. Kelce and Swift seem to realize that staying under the radar is of utmost significance.
