The word about Hurts’ decision came hours before the celebration was set to take place. Hurts raised eyebrows last week as he avoided a question on the red carpet in time 100 gala to attend the celebration.
Hurts did not give a glowing review of the president’s decision to join the Super Bowl Lix, which saw Philadelphia defeat Kansas City Chiefs 40-22.
“He’s welcome to do what he wants,” Hurts said in February.

Meanwhile, Saquon Barkley was left with Trump on his golf course in New Jersey on Sunday. He drove back to Washington at Air Force One with the president.
Barkley pushed back on the criticism he received on social media for his interactions with Trump.
“LOL Some people are really disturbed because I played golf and flew to the White House with the president,” wrote Barkley at X. “Maybe I just respect the office, not a tough concept to understand. Just golf with Obama not too long ago … and looks forward to ending my round with Trump! Now you have to get out of my mentions with all this policy and have a great day.”
