Ryan Reynolds Loses Nearly 52,000 Followers on Instagram Since Travis Kelce (Taylor Swift’s Boyfriend) Unfollowed Him
Reynolds has also been impacted by his wife’s dispute with the It Ends with Us director, losing over 1.6 million followers in the same period.
Things have not been easy for Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively this year – nor since September, when Lively’s feud with Justin Baldoni started. More recently, Reynolds has taken another blow as Travis Kelce, Taylor Swift’s boyfriend and tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, unfollowed him.
Recent analysis of the couple’s social media channels by Views4You reveals that Reynolds has lost 51,914 followers on Instagram since April 28, when Kelce reportedly hit the unfollow button.
Blake Lively has been severely impacted by public opinion since starting a public feud with director Justin Baldoni in September 2024 – since then, the actress has lost 2,110,042 followers on Instagram. Reynolds has also been impacted by his wife’s dispute with the It Ends with Us director. Since September 2024, the actor has lost 1,607,836 followers.
Even Taylor Swift has been impacted by Lively’s feud, losing 1,715,256 followers since January, when details of her apparently ‘forced’ involvement in Lively and Baldoni’s feud emerged in Baldoni’s lawsuit.
Beatriz Sirena, writer at Views4You, commented on the findings, “Celebrities’ public disputes always draw the public’s attention, especially when they involve powerful names in the industry, such as Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds, and even Taylor Swift, though the singer apparently still resents her friend for being dragged into the drama.
“Since September, when It Ends with Us fans noticed something was going on between Lively and Baldoni, and especially this year, after the actress and the director sued each other, both Lively and Reynolds have been negatively impacted by the feud. While Lively is down by 2 million followers since September, Reynolds has lost over 1.6 million followers over the same period.
“When it comes to social media, unfollowing someone on Instagram can mean many things – disappointment, disapproval, or even condemnation. So, considering how close Lively and Swift (as well as Reynolds and Kelce) used to be, the fact that fans are unfollowing Reynolds after Kelce unfollowed him might be a sign they’re siding with Swift and Kelce on this one.”
