Taylor Swift's godchildren absent from high‑profile wedding

Singer Taylor Swift is godmother to five children – Jaime King’s son Leo Newman and the four children of Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds (Olin, Betty, Inez and James). According to sources, none of the godchildren attended Swift’s July 2‑3 wedding to Travis Kelce at Madison Square Garden, and the couple used Jason Kelce’s daughters as flower girls.

The lack of attendance reflects a shift in Swift’s close‑knit friendships. Sources say her relationship with King has weakened after King faced personal hardships, including loss of custody of her children. Swift’s friendship with Lively has also reportedly soured amid Lively’s legal dispute with director Justin Baldoni, and other former friends such as singer Todrick Hall were removed from the guest list. Details of the wedding remain largely private.
