Travis Kelce ‘Never Really Clicked' With Ryan Reynolds: Reports Make Major Revelation Amid Taylor Swift's Fallout With Blake Lively
Previously, it was reported that the Kansas City Chiefs star also went on to unfollow Reynolds on social media after his girlfriend had an alleged fallout with Lively. The rift widened between the two best friends over the latter's ongoing legal battle with Justin Baldoni.
Is Ryan Reynolds more hollywood than human?
With Taylor Swift being close to Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively prior to the legal drama, she had made sure that Kelce, too, was comfortable with her friends. While the couples have hung out together on several occasions, the sources claim that the athlete wasn't too fond of the Green Lantern co-actors.
An insider revealed to the celebrity columnist, Rob Shutter, that the Kansas City Chiefs star and the Deadpool actor 'never really clicked' despite them attending the Super Bowl together with Swift. The source went on to mention that Kelce is 'frill-free' and 'grounded,' reflecting his Midwestern roots.
On the other hand, Reynolds has been in the industry for quite a long time, and hence, his actions feel 'more Hollywood than human' to the NFL player.
Taylor Swift and Blake Lively's fallout
Taylor Swift and Blake Lively had been the best friends in the industry. The duo had an alleged fallout after the musician's name was mentioned in the lawsuit filed by Justin Baldoni against the actress.
While Lively's team at multiple times requested the opposite party to scratch off the Bad Karma crooner's name from the official documents, the director's attorneys did not approve of it.
Finally, Swift's subpoena was canceled after the director's lawyer claimed that they retrieved all the information required from the musician.

Can't stan this: How to stop being a crazy fan
Wearing a red football jersey every game day? Normal. Knowing the lyrics to all of Taylor Swift's songs and dancing to Love Story? Normal. But fighting strangers, friends and family because they believe DC makes better movies than Marvel, or that Chelsea saves goals better than Liverpool, or that Danish Sait is overrated? You may want to check yourself, Stan. Someone says they don't like Shah Rukh Khan? Relax; it isn't a personal attack. Fandoms are wonderful things. They help you find your tribe, make you believe in something larger than yourself. Daniel Wann, who researches the psychology of sports fandom at Murray State University in the US, describes being a fan as a 'very psychologically healthy activity,' in his public posts. Being around like-minded people lifts us up. It satisfies our human need for belonging, he says. Besides, where else will you spend your expendable income, if not on overpriced merch? But there's a clear line between loyalty and toxic obsession; between the ARMY and a troll army. Heed these signs. Fans of late Argentinian footballer Maradona set up a church in his honour. Bit much. Everything seems personal, suddenly. American marketing agency Buzz Radar used AI to scan 100 million posts on 2,47,000 Formula 1 fan accounts since 2016. They published their findings in February. Turns out, the community has become much more negative over the decade. The AI tool calculates that we can expect a further increase in toxicity (including death threats against drivers) over the next 18 months. Don't be that person, even outside of F1 fandom. Someone says they don't like Shah Rukh Khan and your blood pressure spikes? Pause. If you're constantly reaching out to strangers in comment sections to defend your idol, treat that as the first red flag. It means your identity is so tightly bound to a celebrity, team or a fictional character that criticism towards them feels like a personal attack. It means, you're no longer defending art. You're defending yourself. Jodie Foster's stalker John Hinckley believed he could 'impress' her by killing someone. You hate on people for having a different favourite. Of course, there's a Team Selena and a Team Hailey – competition is what keeps fandoms alive in the first place. But if you spend more time attacking the opposition than having a good time, and find yourself liking hate posts, smack talk, personal put-downs, and hateful language simply because they're aimed at an opposing group, it's a good sign that you're not a fan, you're a bully. Betting firm AceOdds used the main subreddit for every 2024/25 Premier League club to rank the most toxic fanbases in the league. Turns out Fulham fans are the nicest (3.23% vulgar comments). The worst: Wolverhampton Wanderers (7.43%), Nottingham Forest (7.12%) and West Ham (6.59). Supporting one side, one team, one idea, one band should feel good. It shouldn't make you want to tear someone down. The word 'stan' originated from Eminem's 2000s song of the same name. You feel like you 'know' your idols. Consuming all that content – all the films, all the promo clips, all the matches, all the GRWM vids, all the interviews – can trigger indigestion. Most superfans believe their devotion puts them in their idol's VIP zone, the inner circle. They believe they're now buddies with a famous person they've never met. Dr Laurel Williams, psychiatry and behavioural sciences researcher at Baylor College of Medicine in the US, says celebrities actively cultivate this artificial intimacy. They give people a peek into their lives and create a persona that their fans can emotionally invest in, because more interaction means more prestige and more money. On the flip side, some fans start to believe that they have power over their idols. They lash out when there's a new partner in the picture, when a movie casts a non-White actor, or when an actor keeps part of their life private. If you haven't realised that celebrity personas are curated to harvest fan attention, you might be in too deep. You crumble when they crumble. When a sports team loses, commiserating as a group helps individuals hold on to their self-esteem. But when a celebrity messes up morally, it's a test as much of the fan as the idol. Fan support, however strong, doesn't right a wrong. Rational fans should be able to appreciate someone's work while also holding them accountable for bad behaviour. A true supporter would expect better from their idol, instead of condoning their bad behaviour. If you can't process that someone criticising your favourite celebrity has nothing to do with you, that line's been crossed already. From HT Brunch, August 02, 2025 Follow us on

Shannon Sharpe slapped with $20M lawsuit for trashing woman at an Usher concert just days after dodging $50M assault case
Shannon Sharpe, fresh from settling a $50 million lawsuit, now faces a $20 million defamation suit (Getty Images) Just two weeks after settling a high-profile $50 million sexual assault lawsuit, NFL Hall of Famer and media personality Shannon Sharpe is now facing another legal battle—this time, a $20 million defamation suit linked to his viral comments about a woman at an Usher concert. Lawsuit filed over 'false narrative' stemming from viral concert video The new lawsuit, filed by Jimalita Tillman, accuses Shannon Sharpe of causing severe emotional distress and reputational harm. Tillman alleges that Sharpe made misleading comments about her on his show "Nightcap," which he co-hosts with Chad Ochocinco, under their production company Shay Shay Media. The controversy stems from a video of Tillman at an April 2 Usher concert that gained traction online. Sharpe's commentary reportedly implied the video sparked a dispute between Tillman and her husband, allegedly leading to discussions of divorce. However, according to Tillman, she was not married at the time—and had already addressed the video publicly on national platforms. She contends that Sharpe's commentary created a 'false narrative' that damaged both her personal life and professional reputation. The lawsuit claims she has suffered ongoing emotional trauma, reputational damage, and the deterioration of critical relationships.
