Ryan Reynolds has remained tight-lipped when questioned about Travis Kelce unfollowing him on Instagram during Green Day's Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony last Thursday.
The Deadpool star was signing autographs for fans when he was repeatedly asked about the social media snub by the NFL player, who is currently dating Taylor Swift.
The incident comes amidst swirling rumours of tension between the celebrities, potentially linked to an ongoing legal dispute involving Reynolds' wife, Blake Lively, and her "It Ends With Us" co-star Justin Baldoni.
In a video shared by Daily Mail, Reynolds can be seen cheerfully interacting with fans whilst completely ignoring questions about Kelce.

The actor's only verbal response during the exchange was to hold up a marker and ask, "Who's pen is this?"
Former TMZ staffer Melanie Miller posted a TikTok video of the incident, showing the actor's skilful avoidance of the persistent photographer's queries.
Reynolds continued signing autographs and posing for selfies with fans throughout the encounter, maintaining his silence on the matter.
The legal tensions began when Lively filed a lawsuit against Baldoni in December 2024, alleging sexual harassment and a retaliatory smear campaign.
Baldoni denied these allegations and responded with a £400 million countersuit, accusing Lively of defamation.
Baldoni's countersuit reportedly claims Lively used her celebrity friendships, including Swift's, as leverage.

Reports suggest Swift could be subpoenaed in the case, with a trial date scheduled for March 2026.
Fans noticed last week that Kelce, who has been dating Swift since 2023, no longer follows Reynolds on Instagram.
Reynolds, however, continues to follow Kelce on the platform.
The timing of the unfollow has raised eyebrows, particularly as it coincides with the heightened legal tensions.

Swift reportedly felt "used" by the situation involving her friend Lively.
However, insiders revealed that Lively later issued a sincere apology to Swift.
The two have since reconciled and agreed to move forward with "no hard feelings".
The couples were frequently seen together last year, with Blake and Ryan attending several of Travis's football games alongside Taylor.
