NEED TO KNOW
- Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce held their rehearsal dinner on July 2, followed by their wedding on July 3 at Madison Square Garden in New York City
- Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds did not attend either event
- Swift and Lively’s friendship reportedly halted in 2025 amid Lively’s legal battle with Justin Baldoni
Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds were not among the many guests at Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's star-studded wedding.
The pop superstar and the Chiefs tight end, both 36, celebrated their marriage with a bash at Madison Square Garden in New York City on Friday, July 3. Lively, 38, and Reynolds, 49, were noticeably absent from the festivities.
The Gossip Girl alum and the Deadpool star were also not at Swift and Kelce's rehearsal dinner on Thursday, July 2, and instead, were seen spending time as a family.
TMZ published photos of the couple in Lake Placid, N.Y., where their daughter Betty, 6, competed in a horse show. The couple also shares daughters James, 11, and Inez, 9, and son Olin, 3.
Lively was close friends with Swift, who revealed in July 2024 that she was godmother to the actress' children. Swift has even featured the kids in her music. However, sources told PEOPLE last year that the friendship became strained amid Lively's legal battle with her It Ends With Us costar Justin Baldoni.
A source told PEOPLE in May 2025 that Lively and Swift were "taking some space" from one another. The reports of the shift in the friendship came after Swift was served a subpoena from Baldoni's lawyers.

In August 2025, a source told PEOPLE: "Taylor and Blake aren't speaking." In January 2026, Swift and Lively's private text messages were unsealed due to the legal dispute, leaving Swift wanting to "stay away from the drama," a source told PEOPLE.
The source noted that Swift “was just being a friend to Blake, and it’s turned into something bigger than she ever expected. She never thought private messages would become public."
