Travis Kelce, widely recognized for his outspoken nature both on and off the football field, took an unexpected turn towards reticence during an August interview.
The NFL star, aged 33, found himself entangled in rumors linking him to the renowned singer Taylor Swift. Reports have been swirling, hinting at a possible romance between the two. It all began in July when Travis Kelce attended Swift’s “Eras Tour” and made a bold move by trying to exchange phone numbers with the pop sensation.
Amid the ongoing speculation, NFL Network reporter Andrew Siciliano revived an August 2nd interview on Instagram, during which he broached the topic of the pop star with the Kansas City Chiefs’ tight end.
Upon hearing Taylor Swift’s name, Travis Kelce erupted into laughter. Siciliano proceeded to inquire about his previous attempts to catch Swift’s attention, a topic Kelce had discussed on his “New Heights” podcast.

With a touch of humor, Kelce replied, “I said what I said, and I meant what I said when I said it.” He continued, “You know, what? It is what it is. I’m not going to delve into my personal life. I understand the curiosity of writers, but I won’t be divulging any details.”
Siciliano persisted, curious if Swift had reached out to Travis Kelce.
“And that’s a wrap from NFL training camp,” he playfully quipped as the clip concluded, skillfully evading the question.
Over a month later, the dating rumors continue to circulate, and even Travis Kelce’s brother, Eagles center Jason Kelce, chimed in.
After their victory over the Minnesota Vikings on September 14th, Jason Kelce and Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts faced an unexpected line of questioning during an interview.
Analyst and retired NFL star Tony Gonzalez disclosed that his 15-year-old daughter was a devoted fan of a particular pop star and inquired if Jason Kelce had any inside information to share.
“I’ve seen these rumors,” the 35-year-old replied. “I cannot comment.”
He added, “Ever since ‘Catching Kelce,’ everyone’s been intrigued by Travis’s love life, so I’m not quite sure what’s happening there. I know Trav is enjoying himself, and we’ll see where things go with whomever he ends up with,” punctuated by a hearty laugh.
Travis Kelce‘s quest for love had been documented on the E! reality series “Catching Kelce” back in 2016. At the end of the show, he chose to pursue a relationship with contestant Maya Benberry, which ultimately ended in a split.
More recently, he had been dating on-air sports reporter Kayla Nicole, but he revealed his single status during an interview on “The Pivot” podcast in January.
