Jaime King is no longer a part of Taylor Swift’s famed girl squad despite the singer being a godmother to the actress’s youngest son, Leo.
“Taylor and Jaime are not close anymore and don’t talk, but there is still love,” a source close to King told the US Sun on Friday.
However, Swift still sends the 9-year-old gifts on special occasions and would “be there in a heartbeat” if he needed her, according to the insider.
“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,” the source told the outlet.
“But their relationship is a lot different now than it was back when Jaime asked Taylor to be his godmother. There is no regular contact.”
King, 45, and Swift, 35, became inseparable after meeting at a 2014 Golden Globes party. Just one year later, the model asked the pop star to be her son Leo’s godmother.
King’s now ex-husband, Kyle Newman, also directed Swift’s 2015 “Style” music video.
Page Six has reached out to reps for both stars for comment.
The news of King’s falling out with Swift comes in the midst of a troubled time in her life.
After almost 13 years of marriage, the “White Chicks” star filed for divorce from Newman in 2020. She was granted a restraining order against the “Barely Lethal” director at the time.
Shortly after, Newman, 49, claimed King was a “chronic drug addict and alcoholic,” alleging she had abused opiates before their two children were born and throughout her pregnancies, resulting in Leo “being born addicted” to drugs.
The former couple also shares 11-year-old son James.
Newman also alleged that his and King’s friends had staged an intervention in 2020, which resulted in her going to a Utah rehab center. However, she checked herself out soon after.
Since then, the children have remained in their father’s care and, most recently, Newman gained sole physical custody of them.
The exes will share legal custody of the kids, but the filmmaker was granted tie-breaking authority, which means he has the final say in decisions if they are deadlocked, per court documents obtained by People.
The “Sin City” actress was granted visitation rights with her sons, whom she can see only three times a week in specific hour blocks.
During her visits with the kids, King must be supervised around the boys after failing to complete a six-month drug/alcohol program with weekly testing and aftercare, a 26-week parenting program, individual counseling to address case issues and conjoint counseling with minors, according to the magazine.
