Jack Danvers/Keeley Jones is a femslash pairing in the Ted Lasso fandom.

The relationship only lasted a few episodes before Jack broke up with Keeley after intimate photographs Keeley sent to Jamie in the past were leaked by the press.

Controversies
In addition to concerns about the portrayal of the relationship more generally, fans also commented on how it was the second relationship which had unaddressed power dynamics. As Jack funded a significant part of Keeley's company as an investor, this gave her financial power in Keeley's career[4].
