Taylor Swift and Jaime King's once inseparable bond has drastically changed over the years, especially amid the actress' messy divorce and child custody battle with ex-husband.

AceShowbiz - Taylor Swift and Jaime King, who were once close friends, have reportedly experienced a significant shift in their relationship. Despite being the godmother to King's youngest son, Leo, Swift and King reportedly "don't talk anymore."
Swift, 35, and King, 45, became inseparable after meeting at a 2014 Golden Globes party, often seen together and sharing moments on social media. Their friendship was highlighted when King asked Swift to be the godmother to her son Leo in 2015, just before his birth.
Despite the change in her relationship with Jaime King, Swift remains a diligent and caring godmother, often sending Leo gifts on special occasions and committing to be there "in a heartbeat" if he ever needs her.
"She has always taken her godmother role and duties very seriously and is the most caring and thoughtful person Jaime could've asked to be there for Leo," one insider shared with The U.S. Sun.
"Taylor and Jaime are not close anymore and don't talk, but there is still love," the insider claimed. The change in their relationship coincides with turbulent times for King, who has faced personal and legal struggles, including an emotionally taxing divorce from ex-husband Kyle Newman.
After nearly 13 years of marriage, King filed for divorce from Newman in 2020, amid accusations of substance abuse and subsequent custody battles. King was granted a restraining order against Newman, who later claimed she was a "chronic drug addict and alcoholic."
These accusations led to King losing physical custody of her sons, James and Leo, with the court granting Newman sole physical custody and tie-breaking authority in legal decisions.
King now only has supervised visits with her sons three times a week. She continues to face challenges, including financial difficulties that have forced her to move out of her $10,000-a-month rental.
The story of Taylor Swift and Jaime King, from inseparable friends to distant acquaintances, underscores the complexities of personal relationships amid life's upheavals. Yet, Swift's unwavering support for Leo offers a glimmer of hope in a world often marked by change.
