Taylor Swift and Jaime King were once the definition of Hollywood besties. From red carpet appearances to heartfelt social media tributes, their connection was undeniable—especially after Swift was named the godmother of King’s son, Leo. But over the years, their bond has faded into the background, and now, with Jaime King facing major personal and legal battles, Swift’s absence is hard to ignore. Has their friendship quietly unraveled?

what happened to Taylor Swift and Jaime King's friendship



Back in the mid-2010s, Taylor Swift and Jaime King were a dynamic duo. Their friendship flourished during Swift’s famous “girl squad” era, with the two frequently appearing together. When King asked Swift to be Leo’s godmother in 2015, it cemented their close bond. At the time, Swift was incredibly supportive, standing by King through personal highs and lows.

But as the years passed, their public interactions faded. No more Instagram shoutouts, no joint appearances, and barely any signs of communication. Now, with King navigating one of the toughest chapters of her life, Swift’s noticeable absence has sparked curiosity—and speculation.

Jaime King's custody battle and legal struggles: Why has Taylor Swift remained distant?


Jaime King, has been going through a turbulent time. After a bitter divorce from director Kyle Newman, she lost custody of her two children and was forced to vacate her Hollywood Hills home. The legal troubles have only added to her struggles, making this an undeniably difficult period for the actress.

Given Swift’s reputation for standing by her friends during challenging times, some fans are questioning why she hasn’t been publicly supportive of King. A source told The U.S. Sun that while the two are no longer in “regular contact,” there is still “love” between them. But in Swift’s world—where friendships are often highly visible—silence can speak volumes.

Despite their friendship cooling off, Swift has reportedly continued to send gifts to Leo and remains deeply committed to her role as his godmother. According to the source, she would “be there in a heartbeat” if needed. However, the reality is that their dynamic isn’t what it once was.

“Their relationship is a lot different now than it was back when Jaime asked Taylor to be his godmother,” the insider revealed. “There is no regular contact.”
Swift’s social circle has shifted dramatically over the years. Once inseparable with Karlie Kloss, that friendship also faded quietly. Now, with King seemingly in the same boat, it raises the question—does Swift simply outgrow friendships, or is there more to the story?

Has Taylor Swift moved on from Jaime King for good?



While there’s no official fallout, it’s evident that Swift and King are no longer as close as they once were. Whether the distance is due to personal growth, lifestyle changes, or a new relationship, their once-public friendship has become almost nonexistent.
Will they reconnect in the future, or has this chapter officially closed? In Swift’s ever-evolving world of friendships, only time will tell.
