While celebrity guests gathered in New York City for Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s rumored wedding celebrations, Blake Lively spent the day somewhere much quieter.
The actress and her husband Ryan Reynolds were photographed in Lake Placid, New York, on July 2, where they cheered on their daughter Betty, 6, during a horse show, it was reported TMZ. Betty reportedly impressed in the ring, taking first and second place.
The family outing took place almost 300 miles from Madison Square Garden, where stars such as Selena Gomez, Lena Dunham, Jack Antonoff, Abigail Anderson, Erin Andrews, Charissa Thompson, Greg Olsen and Aric Jones were seen arriving for what several outlets have described as Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s rehearsal dinner. Neither Swift nor Kelce have publicly confirmed the details of the reported wedding events.
Lively’s appearance outside the festivities comes after months of reports that her once close friendship with Swift has cooled following the legal dispute involving Finish with us director and co-star Justin Baldoni.
The couple were once inseparable, with Swift serving as godmother to Lively and Reynolds’ daughters and even weaving their names into her music. But in recent months, sources have claimed that the old friends have been “taking some space.”
A source previously said People magazine that Swift “was just being a friend to Blake, and it turned into something bigger than she expected. She never thought the private messages would become public.”
Whether the distance is simply geography or something more remains a matter of speculation. For now, while one side of the story focuses on wedding celebrations, the other seems to focus on family time.
