Swifties were over the moon for the "Style" vocalist, especially since Travis came across as drama-free — a stark contrast to her previous rumored flame, controversial 1975 frontman Matty Healy.

But now, breakup rumors are swirling. Is there any truth to them? Here's what we know.

So, did Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift break up?

There's no need to worry, #Tayvis fans! Despite the swirling rumors, it looks like Travis and Taylor are still going strong. In fact, according to an April 2025 report from Page Six, there is "no trouble at all" between them. A source close to the couple confirmed that the NFL star and pop star are "still so in love and enjoying spending time with their friends and each other during the offseason."

This reassuring update comes after fans began speculating about the couple's status due to Travis being spotted out solo on several occasions. Most notably, he recently enjoyed a guys' night out in Las Vegas with his brother Jason Kelce and Justin Timberlake — without Taylor in sight. The absence of public appearances together in recent weeks led some fans to worry that the couple might have gone their separate ways.

The speculation intensified when social media sleuths noticed that Travis unfollowed actor Ryan Reynolds on Instagram. Given that Ryan is married to actress Blake Lively — one of Taylor's close friends — the move sparked theories that Travis might be distancing himself from Taylor's inner circle, or even Taylor herself.

This resulted in a spike in online searches for "Travis Kelce unfollows Taylor Swift," even though Travis has never followed Taylor on Instagram in the first place. So, no — nothing has changed on that front!

Now, as for the Ryan Reynolds unfollow? It may not be a snub toward Taylor at all — in fact, quite the opposite. Page Six reported that Travis's decision was actually a quiet show of support for Taylor.

According to insiders, the tight end unfollowed Ryan in the midst of the ongoing It Ends With Us legal drama, in which Blake Lively is entangled in a messy lawsuit with her co-star and director, Justin Baldoni. Blake has even dragged the "Welcome to New York" singer into the situation more than once, something the pop star isn’t exactly thrilled about.

So, by stepping back from the Blake and Ryan circle during this tense moment, Travis is allegedly making it clear where his loyalty lies — and showing he's serious about keeping his relationship with the "Fortnight" singer drama-free and well-protected.

Here's the bottom line: From breakup rumors to false claims that Travis unfollowed Taylor on Instagram, the rumor mill has clearly been working overtime. But so far, there's no real evidence to break up any of these stories. #TayvisForever!
