Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds absent from Taylor Swift, Travis Kelce wedding

Actress Blake Lively and actor Ryan Reynolds did not attend Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's wedding at Madison Square Garden on July 3. The couple was in Lake Placid, New York, where their 6‑year‑old daughter Betty competed in a horse show.

Sources say the friendship between Swift and Lively soured after Lively became entangled in a $400 million defamation lawsuit filed by former co‑star Justin Baldoni, leading Swift to distance herself and ultimately exclude Lively from the ceremony and rehearsal dinner. The wedding featured numerous other celebrities, including Gigi Hadid, Bradley Cooper, and Adam Sandler, who officiated.

The omission highlights a broader rift that began in 2024 when Swift served as godmother to Lively’s children and later withdrew after legal subpoenas and publicized text messages made the dispute a media focus.
