Jaime King has clarified the truth about her friendship with Taylor Swift following her MSG wedding. Swift and King reportedly formed a friendship after connecting at a Golden Globes party in 2014. A year later, she asked the pop sensation to be godmother to Leo Newman, whom she shares with ex-husband Kyle Newman, the director of Swift’s 2015 “Style” music video.
Jaime King clarifies relationship with Taylor Swift after her wedding
Jaime King is addressing rumors about her relationship with Taylor Swift following the absence of her son, Swift’s godson, from Swift’s high-profile wedding to Travis Kelce last week.
“The reason Jaime chose Taylor as Leo Thames’s godmother is because they both believe that being a godmother is a deeply personal and spiritual commitment that has nothing to do with public appearances,” Jane Owen, who represents King, shared exclusively with Page Six.
“Leo Thames is still too young for a large adult wedding celebration, but he and his mother were able to joyfully celebrate Taylor and Kelce’s marriage in his own very special, age-appropriate way during his summer break,” she added.
The comment arrived a day after the outlet reported exclusively that all five of Taylor Swift’s godchildren, including Leo, were absent from the wedding festivities with the NFL star. Sources also noted that Jason Kelce’s daughters were the only children to act as flower girls during the ceremony.
Back in April 2025, an insider shared that the “Black Summer” actress and the “Lover” hitmaker “hadn’t been in touch for a long time.” The source also noted that the “White Chicks” actress “misses Taylor” and is hoping to “reconnect at some point.” Their friendship reportedly drifted apart as King navigated personal struggles and legal matters.
In March 2025, the court awarded Kyle Newman full physical custody of the former couple’s two sons, James and Leo. Jaime King had reportedly not met court-ordered obligations, including participation in a drug and alcohol treatment program.
