Despite inviting over 1,000 people to her high-profile wedding<\/a> with Kansas City Chiefs player Travis Kelce, billionaire pop star Taylor Swift<\/a> snubbed several important people in her life. Notably absent were Swift\u2019s five godchildren, including Leo Thames, the son of actress Jaime King<\/a>.<\/p>\n When fans noticed his absence, rumors began circulating that the \u201cBlank Space\u201d singer\u2019s friendship with King was over. However, King\u2019s publicist, Jane Owen, quickly shut down the speculation. \u201cLeo Thames is still too young for a large adult wedding celebration, but he and his mother were able to joyfully celebrate Taylor and Kelce\u2019s marriage in his own very special, age-appropriate way during his summer break,\u201d she told Page Six<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Owen added, \u201cThe reason Jaime chose Taylor as Leo Thames\u2019s 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.\u201d<\/p>\n Swift and King became fast friends after meeting at a 2014 Golden Globes party. Their bond quickly grew, and when the Hart of Dixie <\/em>star gave birth to Leo in 2015, she asked the Grammy winner to be his godmother. \u201cI always knew she was going to be the godmother if I had another baby,\u201d King told Elle<\/em><\/a> at the time, adding that Swift is \u201cincredibly thoughtful.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cChoosing a godmother is a very sacred and important thing in our family. They\u2019re going to be guiding your child, and they\u2019re responsible for them if something was to ever happen,\u201d she explained. \u201cWe try and choose people who we know would raise our child the way that we would raise our child and her thoughtfulness, her kindness, her authenticity\u2014the way that she\u2019s generous with her family, with her friends, with her fans\u2014is so powerful to me.\u201d<\/p>\n Related: Blake Lively \u2018Forced\u2019 to \u2018Accept\u2019 Taylor Swift Friendship Is Over Amid Report She\u2019s \u2018P\u2014d Off\u2019 by Wedding Snub\u2014\u2018This Is Going to Haunt Her Forever\u2019<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n King continued, \u201cShe\u2019s so uninhibited in her giving\u2014the presents she gives to her fans, she wraps every single one, she paints the stuff. It\u2019s all her. It\u2019s just beyond. She\u2019s so clear with what it is that she wants to do yet at the same time she leaves herself so vulnerable. It is really powerful to me. That\u2019s why I feel like she\u2019s going to be the perfect godmother.\u201d<\/p>\n Nearly a decade later, however, King and Swift are no longer in touch. \u201cTaylor and Jaime are not close anymore and don\u2019t talk but there is still love,\u201d a source told The U.S. Sun<\/a> <\/em>in 2025. Still, Swift sends Leo gifts for his birthday and would \u201cbe there in a heartbeat\u201d if he ever needed her.<\/p>\n \u201cShe has always taken her godmother role and duties very seriously and is the most caring and thoughtful person Jaime could\u2019ve asked to be there for Leo,\u201d the source said. \u201cBut their relationship is a lot different now than it was back when Jaime asked Taylor to be his godmother. There is no regular contact.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n![\"Image](\"https:\/\/stylecaster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/travis-kelce-taylor-swift-2.png?w=300&h=168&crop=1\")
