Travis Kelce appears to be distancing himself from Blake Lively’s ongoing legal drama with Justin Baldoni.
According to Page Six, the Kansas City Chiefs star unfollowed Lively’s husband, Ryan Reynolds, on Instagram amid the “It Ends With Us” actress’s messy legal situation. It’s unclear if Kelce, 35, is cutting ties to avoid being dragged into the controversy or if the friendship is truly over.
It’s also unknown how Kelce’s girlfriend, Taylor Swift, feels about the move. However, it’s been widely reported Swift, 35, isn’t as close to Lively as she once was. In February, Swift needed “space” after being mentioned in Baldoni’s $400 million defamation lawsuit and felt like a “pawn.”
Lively’s lawyer, Bryan Freedman, once 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.” Taylor Swift — and Reynolds’ best friend Hugh Jackman — could potentially be subpoenaed soon.
Lively apologized to Swift for dragging her into the mess, but the singer still wants distance. “[She] is a strong woman, and she’s not hiding from anything,” an insider said. “Taylor is simply enjoying some alone time with Travis and being under the radar for a little bit.”
