Travis Kelce cracked a cheeky joke about his engagement to Taylor Swift on Thursday during a press conference in Brazil ahead of the Kansas City Chiefs' NFL season opener. Travis, who has earned rings for his Super Bowl wins in 2020, 2023, and 2024, said: "I got one more ring from it…Well, two if we're counting the first Super Bowl." The NFL star also opened up about his relationship with the singer and admitted that life has been "fun" since they began dating.
"I would say, ever since I've been dating Taylor, life has been fun... It's been exciting," he shared. The couple, who began dating in 2023, have largely kept details of their relationship private. "Obviously a lot more eyes and I accept that, but I'm living life. Living on a high, I guess," he added
The NFL star opened up about his engagement for the first time on Wednesday’s episode of his New Heights podcast. "Thank you guys for the congratulations," he said. "I appreciate everybody that has reached out and sent something, all the posts and excitement and it has been really fun telling everybody who I'm going to be spending the rest of my life with. It has been really fun. It has been awesome."
The couple made their first public appearance together since announcing their engagement at a college football game held at the Kansas City Chiefs’ Arrowhead Stadium. "Yeah I felt that at the game, it was the first time I introduced Taylor as my fiance to my teammates, it was pretty cool," explained Travis. "I still get giddy, it's exciting times. It is still fresh. It has been so much fun hearing from everybody and seeing the internet go crazy."
Jason Kelce expressed his desire to be his younger brother's best man, but admitted he is uncertain whether Travis will ask him because the groom has more than enough friends to choose from. "Hopefully, I'm the best man. We'll see," Jason said on the Bussin’ with the Boys podcast, before cautiously adding: "Trav has a lot of friends, I'm just hoping to get the opportunity."
Travis proposed in the garden of his $6 million mansion in Leawood, Kansas. HELLO! can confirm that Travis worked with the jewelry designer Kindred Lubeck and Artifex Fine Jewelry to create the Old Mine Brilliant Cut diamond.
The couple announced their engagement on Instagram, posting a series of photos that captured Travis's proposal, the sparkly diamond ring, and the serene floral backdrop where the moment took place. "Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married," read the caption, with a dynamite emoji at the end, a reference to their initials, T and T.
