Ryan Reynolds has given an awkward response to why his supposed buddy Travis Kelce 'unfollowed him' on social media.
The NFL star and boyfriend of Taylor Swift reportedly unfollowed the actor earlier this week on Instagram amid swirling rumors of an apparent quarrel.
Reynolds and his wife Blake Lively have been friends with the pop star for years and were seen in public going on double dates with Swift and her boyfriend, who she started dating in 2023.
According to Page Six, Kelce apparently is trying to distance himself from the ongoing legal battle between Lively and her co-star Justin Baldoni, who came into conflict while filming the 2024 movie It Ends With Us.

Lively accused Baldoni of sexual harassment on the set in a hefty lawsuit filed last December, which the Jane the Virgin star denies.
Baldoni has allegedly threatened to call on Swift to testify in the proceedings.
Yet while Reynolds was helping the band Green Day celebrate their star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Thursday, reporters raced to ask him about his supposed secret spat with Kelce.

The 48-year-old Deadpool & Wolverine star was signing autographs for fans when journalist Melanie Miller asked: "What happened with Travis Kelce? Are guys good? Are you guys friends? How come he unfollowed you?"
However, Reynolds kept tight-lipped about the incident as he continued to greet fans while ignoring the question before returning to the ceremony.
Page Six reports that sources close to Swift claim the threat of her being brought into the high-profile row has caused a strain on her friendship with the Gossip Girl alum.

However, the pals have now apparently made amends and have decided to 'move forward.'
As for the Lively v Baldoni case, the mom-of-four first filed a civil complaint with the California Civil Rights Department on December 20, before going on to move it up to federal court on December 31.
Baldoni retaliated by filing a $400,000,000 defamation suit against Lively and her husband - and there's been back-and-forth allegations between the two celebs' respective legal teams ever since.
Earlier this week, Lively briefly touched on the matter in her first talk show interview since the legal feud, telling host Seth Meyers that she's had a 'pretty intense year.'

"Yeah, I mean, what I can say without going too much into it is that this year has been full of the highest highs and the lowest lows of my life," she continued.
"And I see so many woman around, afraid to speak — especially right now — afraid to share their experiences. And fear is by design.
"It's what keeps us silent. But I also acknowledge that many people don't have the opportunity to speak. So I do feel fortunate that I've been able to.

"It's the women who have had the ability to use their voice that's kept me strong and helped me in my belief and my fight for the world to be safer for women and girls."
Her comments came as Lively's latest movie Another Simple Favor dropped on Prime Video on Thursday (May 1) while the trial date for the lawsuit has been set for March next year.
