Taylor Swift and actress Jaime King may not be as close as they once were, but according to insiders, there\u2019s still a lot of love between them. King was once a key member of Swift\u2019s famous girl squad, and their bond was so strong that Swift was even named godmother to King\u2019s youngest son, Leo.<\/p>\n
However, a source close to King revealed that their friendship has faded over time. \u201cTaylor and Jaime aren\u2019t in touch like they used to be, and they don\u2019t really talk anymore. But there\u2019s no bad blood\u2014there\u2019s still love and respect between them,\u201d the source told US Weekly<\/em> on March 21.<\/p>\n Despite the distance, Swift remains committed to her role as Leo\u2019s godmother. The Cruel Summer<\/em> singer still sends him thoughtful gifts on special occasions and would be there for him in a heartbeat if he ever needed her. \u201cShe takes her role as godmother very seriously,\u201d the source added, emphasizing that King couldn\u2019t have asked for a more loving and supportive godparent for her son.<\/p>\n Swift and King\u2019s friendship began in 2014 when they met at a Golden Globes party. A year later, King, who was pregnant with Leo at the time, asked Swift to be his godmother. Their bond was further strengthened by King\u2019s then-husband, Kyle Newman, who directed Swift\u2019s Style<\/em> music video in 2015.<\/p>\n News of their drifting friendship comes at a difficult time in King\u2019s life. The White Chicks<\/em> actress went through a painful divorce from Newman in 2020 after 13 years of marriage and was granted a restraining order against him.<\/p>\n Their split has been messy, with Newman later accusing King of struggling with chronic drug and alcohol addiction both before their marriage and throughout her pregnancies. He even alleged that Leo was born with drugs in his system due to King\u2019s substance abuse issues.<\/p>\n Now, the former couple\u2014who also share an 11-year-old son, James\u2014are locked in a heated custody battle, adding another layer of difficulty to King\u2019s already tumultuous life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Taylor Swift and actress Jaime King may not be as close as they once were, but according to insiders, there\u2019s\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":294,"featured_media":64077,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[67],"tags":[138],"class_list":["post-64076","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-celebrity-news","tag-taylor-swift"],"reading_time":"2 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/64076","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/294"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=64076"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/64076\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/64077"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=64076"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=64076"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=64076"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
