Taylor Swift’s reported fallout with Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds may have reached beyond the adults involved.
According to Rob Shutter, the singer-songwriter’s once-close bond with the couple’s four children has also quietly changed since the end of her friendship with the Hollywood couple.
The pop superstar has long been known as the children’s godmother and even immortalized James, Inez and Betty by weaving their names into songs on her Folklore album – a gesture fans saw as proof of their unusually close connection.
Now sources claim that the chapter has come to a natural end.
“Obviously, when Taylor’s friendship with Blake and Ryan ended, her role as active godmother disappeared as well,” an insider said. “There was no argument with the children. She is simply not part of their everyday life anymore.”
Fans also noticed one detail about Swift and Travis Kelce’s star-studded July 3 wedding that fueled the speculation: Blake, Ryan and their children were nowhere to be seen.
“It told the whole story,” says another insider. “Years ago they would have been front and center. Today they are no longer part of Taylor’s inner circle.”
Despite the reported distance, sources insist there is no anger towards the children.
“Taylor still has love for those kids,” the insider quoted. “But the relationship with children often depends on the relationship with their parents. When the friendship ended, of course the connection disappeared. It’s sad, but that’s the reality.”
Although neither Swift nor Lively have publicly addressed the allegations, the reported switch continues to spark conversation among fans who once saw the families as inseparable.
