Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds were noticeably absent from Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding festivities, with a source confirming they were not invited due to an ongoing friendship fallout.
Instead of attending the star-studded rehearsal dinner in New York City, Lively, 38, and Reynolds, 49, were photographed Thursday at a horse show in Lake Placid, New York, where their daughter Betty, 6, placed second in the competition. The couple dressed casually on the farm, with Lively wearing a halter top and jean shorts and Reynolds in a plain white T-shirt and khaki pants.
Their absence has fueled speculation about the state of Lively’s friendship with Swift. A source told Page Six last month that Lively was not invited to the pop star’s nuptials after their fallout stemming from the actress’s long legal battle with Justin Baldoni.
“There hasn’t been an olive branch when it comes to their friendship,” the insider said. “And Taylor hasn’t extended a wedding invitation to Blake.”
A source previously told Page Six that Swift, 36, “needs space” from the actress after her name was dragged into the lawsuits between Lively and her “It Ends With Us” co-star and director, which ended in a surprise settlement in May.
The legal battle, which played out publicly, strained the once-close friendship between the two stars. Lively and Swift had been seen together frequently before the lawsuits, with Swift even appearing at the “It Ends With Us” premiere in 2024.
While Swift and Kelce’s wedding has been one of the most anticipated events of the year, with speculation about the guest list reaching a fever pitch, Lively and Reynolds were not part of the celebrations.
The Bottom Line
Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds were not invited to Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding, a source told Page Six, due to an ongoing friendship fallout stemming from Lively’s legal battle with Justin Baldoni. Instead, the couple attended their daughter’s horse show in Lake Placid, New York, where she placed second.
