NFL analyst Bill Simmons delighted fans on Sunday night when he stated that Taylor Swift is 'having a kid' with her fiancé, Travis Kelce.
Bill was reflecting on Travis' career with the Kansas City Chiefs following the team's loss to the Tennessee Titans on Sunday, which dashed their Super Bowl hopes for 2026.
"It was officially a 'feel bad for Kelce'. Guy's a Hall of Famer, he's getting married to Taylor Swift, having a kid with her, probably flies everywhere private, has private security everywhere he goes," the analyst said.
"And he's just kind of running around this [expletive] Titans game, trying not to get hurt. Fake an injury. Just fake an injury and end the thing."
Taylor and Travis have previously discussed the possibility of having kids and with their pending nuptials upcoming, fans are keen to see when the pair might announce the pitter patter of tiny feet.

Taylor and Travis' August engagement sparked questions about whether the pair were looking to start a family, despite their busy schedules.
The "Cruel Summer" singer told Marie Claire in 2012 that she was looking forward to being a mom. "I want a bunch of [children] running around, minimum four. I want to wait a while, but the idea of pouring everything you are into another person when you become a parent has always been amazing to me," she said.
Back in 2010, the "Mean" singer told Us Weekly (per MTV): "Oh, well, kids, yes! Later in life, definitely. I'd love to get to a place where I could do what my mom did."
Taylor backtracked on her comments in a 2014 interview with InStyle, revealing that her pop star lifestyle was not well-suited to motherhood. "I don't know if I'll have kids. It's impossible not to picture certain scenarios and how you would try to convince them that they have a normal life when, inevitably, there will be strange men pointing giant cameras at them from the time they are babies."
Travis is a doting uncle to his four nieces, Wyatt, Elliotte, Bennett and Finnley, whom his brother, Jason Kelce, shares with his podcaster wife, Kylie Kelce.
In a New Heights podcast, Jason said that their mom Donna was putting pressure on Travis to have kids: "She has made that comment. She's put some pressure on him," he said. Coach Deion Saunders then teased Travis: "What you waiting on, Dad? So what you waiting on?"
With her sweet relationship with Travis it is clear she has finally sound happiness in love. During episode four of her docuseries The End of an Era, opened up about the heartbreak she had suffered throughout the years.
"There were points in this tour when the tour was really the only thing that was really keeping me going in my life," she admitted. "But there were never points in the tour where I thought, 'Oh, you know what? I want to quit the tour because it's hard.' No, my personal life was hard. I went through two breakups on the first half of this tour, and that’s a lot of breakups actually."
"Men will let you down, the Eras Tour never will," added Taylor.
Taylor was referring to her former relationships with British actor Joe Alwyn, and The 1975 frontman Matty Healy. Taylor began dating Joe in 2017 and he was famously involved in co-writing much of Taylor's revered 2020 albums folklore and evermore under the pseudonym William Bowery. They ended things in early 2023 despite years of engagement and wedding speculation. Not long after the end of her relationship with Joe, Taylor was frequently spotted with Matty Healy.
Despite them only seeming to date for a couple of months, fans have claimed that a number of songs from the singer's Tortured Poets Department are about Matty. "I Can Fix Him (No Really I Can)", "The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived", and the eponymous track all seem to make oblique references to the 1975 singer.
Taylor emphasized how much the Eras Tour supported her during a difficult period in her personal life. "So, the tour has never been the hard thing in my life. The tour has been the thing that has allowed me to find purpose outside of the [expletive] that was going wrong in my life.," she shared. She also explained that writing her 11th album, The Tortured Poets Department, helped her process the breakups. "Tortured Poets album is like this purge of… just, like, everything, everything bad that I felt for two years. It was a really rough time in my life, so the songs reflect that," she said. "Feeling like I’m not a person, I’m just this like big conglomerate that no one sees as a real human being and like especially not men that I date. And in the whole process just being like… nothing, nothing works. There’s no one for me in the world."
However, Taylor has clearly found love again with Travis. The NFL star proposed to the singer in the garden of his $6 million mansion in Leawood, Kansas. We 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.
