Taylor Swift has stepped away from her role as "godmother" to Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds' four children, according to reports.

The pop star, 36, tied the knot with Travis Kelce at Madison Square Garden in New York City on Friday, July 3. Blake, 38, and Ryan, 49, along with their four children - Olin, three, Betty, six, Inez, nine, and James, 11 - were absent from both the wedding and the rehearsal dinner on Thursday, July 2.

Taylor is the godmother for all four kids. However, she's been caught in a reported feud with Blake for months.

Taylor also serves as godmother to another celebrity child, 10-year-old Leo Thames Newman, the son of actress Jamie King and filmmaker Kyle Newman. Taylor and Jamie have maintained a friendship since 2014.

Jamie and her son, Leo, were likewise missing from the wedding celebrations and the Black Summer star recently explained their absence.

Speculation about Blake and Taylor's friendship has intensified following their alleged rift, along with questions about Taylor's godmother status. A source claimed to Rob Shuter's Naughty But Nice Substack that the Love Story singer's godmother role for Blake's children has effectively ended.

"When Taylor's friendship with Blake and Ryan ended, her role as an active godmother naturally faded too," the source shared with the outlet. "There wasn't a falling out with the children. She simply isn't part of their everyday lives anymore."

"That told the whole story," another source told the outlet, referring to Blake, Ryan and their children being absent from the wedding. "Years ago, they would have been front and center. Today, they're no longer part of Taylor's inner circle."

According to Radar Online, sources claimed Taylor is no longer close with the children and feels that "chapter" of her life has closed.

TMZ published photographs of Blake and Ryan in upstate New York on July 2, which coincided with Taylor's rehearsal dinner. They were reportedly attending their daughter Betty's horse show that day.

The family was also absent from the wedding ceremony on July 3.

Reports have emerged suggesting Blake and Taylor's friendship has deteriorated following the Gossip Girl star's legal battle with actor-director Justin Baldoni, which reached a settlement in May. Taylor and Blake initially became friends in 2015.

During the sexual harassment and retaliation lawsuit, Taylor's name became entangled in the proceedings. She received a subpoena from Justin's attorney and her private text conversations with Blake were disclosed.

A source informed PEOPLE in January that the songwriter wanted to "stay away from the drama" after the unsealing of her private text exchanges with Blake.

The source added that Taylor was "just being a friend to Blake, and it's turned into something bigger than she ever expected. She never thought private messages would become public."
