Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds were spotted in upstate New York, hundreds of miles away from Madison Square Garden, where Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce got married this weekend.
Lively — once a fixture of the singer’s inner circle — was with her 49-year-old husband in Lake Placid on Thursday as they watched their 6-year-old daughter, Betty, compete in a horse show. According to TMZ, she did well enough to place second at the event.
In addition to Betty, Lively and Reynolds share daughters James, 11, and Inez, 9, as well as a son, 3-year-old Olin.
Swift famously revealed Betty’s name to the public with the song Betty from her eighth album, Folklore. James and Inez were also name-dropped on the track.
While it remains unclear whether Lively scored an invite to her former bestie’s big day, her appearance upstate came as other celebs descended on the city for Swift and Kelce’s rehearsal dinner. The likes of Selena Gomez, Lena Dunham, Jack Antonoff, Swift’s childhood best friend Abigail Anderson Berard, Erin Andrews, Charissa Thompson, Greg Olsen and Aric Jones were all reportedly in attendance.
The 14-time Grammy winner was first romantically linked with Kelce back in 2023, after the Kansas City Chiefs star revealed on his podcast that he tried to give Swift his number during a stop on her Eras Tour. In September the same year, Swift arrived at her first Chiefs game, watching them play the Chicago Bears from a private suite at Arrowhead Stadium alongside Kelce’s mother, Donna Kelce.
She went on to attend many games throughout the season, with Lively often by her side, including at Super Bowl LVIII in 2024.
Their public appearances together, though, came to an abrupt halt amid Lively’s legal battle with It Ends With Us costar Justin Baldoni. During the dispute, private text messages between Swift and Lively were unsealed and made public. The pop star’s name was also mentioned in legal documents, with Baldoni alleging she was present during an ambush meeting with Reynolds and Lively at their NYC penthouse.
In subsequent texts, Lively referred to herself as Khaleesi from Game Of Thrones and called Swift one of her “dragons.” - New York Daily News/TNS
