Taylor Swift Loses Godmother Role to Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds' Kids

No matter what you think of Blake Lively after her legal battle with Justin Baldoni, this update is truly sad. Taylor Swift's friendship with the actress is over, and there is reportedly zero hope of reconciliation.

According to an insider, the fallout has also affected the pop star's relationship with Blake and Ryan Reynolds' four children — James, Inez, Betty, and Olin — for whom she served as godmother. "When Taylor's friendship with Blake and Ryan ended, her role as an active godmother naturally faded. There wasn't a falling out with the children; she simply isn't part of their everyday lives anymore," the source explained.

This became crystal clear when Blake, Ryan, and the kids skipped Taylor and Travis Kelce's lavish wedding at Madison Square Garden. Instead, the couple was in upstate New York cheering on their daughter Betty at a horse show. Their absence spoke volumes about the state of the women's friendship after Swift got dragged into the lawsuit mess. "Years ago they would have been front and center. Today, they're no longer part of Taylor's inner circle," another insider noted.

Nevertheless, Taylor will always care about Blake and Ryan's kids. "Taylor still has love for those kids. But relationships with children often depend on relationships with their parents. When the friendship ended, the connection naturally faded. It's sad, but that's the reality," the source said.

It's possible Taylor will continue sending gifts and being there for the kids if needed, just as she reportedly did for her godson Leo Thames Newman after a falling out with his mom, Jaime King. As the children grow older, they may form a new relationship with Taylor on their own terms — depending on how contentious things remain between the adults. For now, it's heartbreaking that the kids are missing out on someone who has been in their lives since the beginning.
