Ryan Reynolds stays silent as reporter raises questions over Travis Kelce's Instagram snub
Melanie Miller, a former TMZ staffer, posted a TikTok video showing Ryan Reynolds being asked directly, “What happened with Travis Kelce? Are you guys friends? How come he unfollowed you?”
The 'Deadpool & Wolverine' actor didn’t respond or acknowledge the questions, instead focusing on signing autographs and interacting with fans.
A representative for Reynolds has not commented on the situation, which fans say points to a possible falling out between his wife Blake Lively, and Kelce's girlfriend Taylor Swift, which is linked to a deeper celebrity drama involving Justin Baldoni.
Kelce unexpectedly unfollowed Reynolds, who is the husband of a close friend of Taylor Swift, raising eyebrows among Swifties and internet sleuths. Page Six previously reported that the Kansas City Chiefs star’s decision may be related to the ongoing legal battle between Lively and her 'It Ends With Us' co-star and director.
Lively filed a lawsuit accusing Baldoni of harassment, prompting a $400 million countersuit from the actor. In his defense, Baldoni cited Lively’s alleged attempts to leverage her connections, including Swift, during their disputes.
Reports also suggest Swift was caught off guard by being dragged into the legal fray and has since distanced herself from the situation.
Although sources revealed that Lively has apologized and repaired her personal relationship with Swift, the dynamics between Reynolds, Kelce, and the broader friend circle remain unclear. For now, Reynolds seems content letting the silence speak louder than words.
Travis Kelce distances himself from Ryan Reynolds-Blake Lively circle to protect Taylor Swift
An insider told the Daily Mail that Travis Kelce’s decision wasn’t accidental. Instead, it reflects a growing concern about loyalty and the potential fallout from ongoing rumors.
“Travis unfollowed Ryan because he is fed up with the whole drama,” the source said, before adding, “It's not just about the spectacle of it all. Travis is concerned that he could potentially be questioned too, since he was with Taylor as some of this was going down.”
Another insider claimed that Kelce’s decision was deliberate, driven by a sense of caution and a desire to protect himself and Swift from anyone he suspects might throw them “under the bus.”
Reynolds still follows the Kansas City Chiefs star, according to the outlet.
