Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds were absent from Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding rehearsal dinner in New York City, opting instead to attend their daughter Betty’s horse show in Lake Placid, New York. Betty, 6, placed second in the competition. Lively, 38, and Reynolds, 49, were photographed in casual attire at the event.
Swift and Kelce’s rehearsal dinner took place Thursday at Madison Square Garden, with notable attendees including Selena Gomez and Gigi Hadid. This absence follows reports that Lively and Swift’s friendship has cooled following Lively’s legal disputes involving actor Justin Baldoni. Sources suggest Swift feels hurt by the situation and has distanced herself from Lively.
Lively was previously a close friend of Swift’s and was seen supporting Kelce at Super Bowl LVIII in February 2024, alongside Reynolds and Hugh Jackman. However, a source told Page Six last month that Lively was not invited to Swift’s wedding, stating there had been no reconciliation between the two.
Swift and Kelce’s wedding celebration is set to continue on Friday, with over 1,000 guests expected. The couple reportedly exchanged vows privately prior to the larger celebration. Swift and Kelce are seen here last month. IMAGE1
