Travis Kelce slams Ryan Reynolds' 'fake Hollywood persona' amid Taylor Swift's explosive rift with Blake Lively
Travis Kelce may be living a fairytale romance with global superstar Taylor Swift , but not all of her inner circle seems to mesh with the Kansas City Chiefs tight end. According to a new report, Kelce is intentionally distancing himself from Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively — two of Swift's closest celebrity friends — due to what insiders describe as a clash in values and lifestyle preferences. Travis Kelce allegedly unfollowed Ryan Reynolds and stepped back from Hollywood's 'curated' circle A source close to the situation told celebrity columnist Rob Shuter that Kelce 'never really clicked' with Reynolds and Lively, despite sharing memorable double dates and even attending the Super Bowl together with Swift. According to the insider, Kelce is all about a 'frill-free' and 'grounded' life that reflects his Midwestern roots — an outlook that reportedly doesn't align with Reynolds' polished, A-list world. The source claimed Kelce finds Reynolds 'more Hollywood than human' and believes he doesn't belong in their 'curated celebrity world.' Adding fuel to the speculation, fans noted earlier this year that Kelce unfollowed Reynolds on Instagram — a quiet move that coincided with a growing rift between Swift and Lively following Lively's legal clash with her It Ends With Us co-star, Justin Baldoni. Tensions may be rooted in Blake Lively's legal battle and Baldoni's controversial countersuit The turning point in these celebrity dynamics appears to have been Blake Lively's sexual harassment lawsuit against Justin Baldoni, filed in December. In a surprising twist, Baldoni countersued for $400 million and named Swift in the filings, even subpoenaing her — though the subpoena was later withdrawn and his countersuit dismissed. Since then, reports have indicated that the longtime friendship between Swift and Lively may be irreparably damaged. Kelce, ever loyal to Swift, has reportedly remained by her side. The source added, 'He has always been Team Taylor, and never afraid to show it.' While the public may still see Kelce and Swift as the perfect celebrity couple, it seems not all friendships in their orbit are still intact.
