Friendships, especially those formed under the glaring spotlight of Hollywood, often take twists and turns no one expects. What starts out as a picture-perfect bond can unravel quicker than a cheap sweater—sometimes without anyone seeing it coming. It seems Ryan Reynolds and Jake Gyllenhaal: once inseparable, now tangled in a web of awkwardness and tension.
In fact, things have taken a rather spicy turn, with Samuel L. Jackson hinting that there’s more than meets the eye between the two actors. The world watched their friendship blossom back in 2017 when they bonded on the set ofLife. But now, things seem to be a different story, as Gyllenhaal has unfollowed not just Reynolds, but also Blake Lively on social media, leading fans to question: What happened?
Keep reading as Kjersti Flaa dives deep into the heart of this Hollywood tangle—unpacking everything from cryptic jabs to the possible involvement of an ex.
Is there tension between Jake Gyllenhaal and Ryan Reynolds?
Ah, the power of the ‘unfollow’ button. It can say more than a thousand words—especially in the world of social media.Jake Gyllenhaalshockedeveryone by unfollowingRyan Reynolds,Hugh Jackman, and Blake Lively on Instagram. But apparently, Gyllenhaal didn’t pull the plug until they had already ditched him first. Social media drama? Oh, it’s definitely a thing, and these guys are no strangers to it.

According to Kjersti Flaa (viaYouTube), during an interview onEntertainment Tonight, Gyllenhaal was paired with the legendarySamuel L. Jackson, and the conversation somehow turned to superheroes. Jackson took a swipe at Reynolds’ Deadpool by pointing out:
Samuel L. Jackson said that Ryan Reynolds can’t fly or Deadpool can’t fly, so you’re better, whatever, you’re doper than Ryan because he can’t fly. Oh, is this a competition? No, never. Ryan Reynolds—please, please!
Now, that may sound like a casual quip, but Flaa caught something deeper in the tone. As she puts it,
It was the way they mentioned Ryan Reynolds’ name that made me go, ‘Mmm, there’s bad blood there.’
The subtle jabs, the passing remarks—could it be more than just a competition? Maybe. Well, in the realm of friendships and public feuds, sometimes the smallest things carry the heaviest weight.
The Taylor Swift theory: Did she play cupid (in a bad way)?
Now, let’s take a sharp turn into rumor territory. Remember when Jake Gyllenhaal was that guy who datedTaylor Swift? Yeah, that short-lived romance back in 2010. The world watched as Swift later seemingly poured her heart out in songs, includingAll Too Well,which some peopleallegedly think is aboutGyllenhaal.
But what if there’s more to the story? Kjersti Flaa points out that while Gyllenhaal and Swift’s relationship was brief, it’s possible that Swift’s heartbreak might have cast a long shadow over Gyllenhaal’s friendships withRyan ReynoldsandBlake Lively. Could it be that the singer had a hand in persuading Reynolds and Lively to distance themselves from Gyllenhaal after the breakup? It’s a theory that’s got some legs, but as Flaa rightly says,
I think there’s definitely something more there that we don’t know about. Something happened between Jake Gyllenhaal and Ryan Reynolds, and I would love to get to the bottom of it.
In yet another interview on theSpider-Manred carpet, Gyllenhaal addressed the once tight-knit friendship with theDeadpoolstar and the rumors of a fallout. When asked about their relationship, the former bluntlyremarked:
There was a time in which we were [friends], and that opportunity has passed, as everybody knows, Instagram had its way with our friendship… I have nothing to say to him.
It’s clear from his response that the relationship has soured, with social media seemingly pulling the strings in this Hollywood drama.

But what’s the real story behind the drama? Is it just a case of too many jabs and unfollows, or is there a deeper, more personal issue at play? While we may never know the full details, the cracks in this once-strong friendship are a lot more than just a bad meme.
