Travis Kelce opens up on Taylor Swift split rumours

Travis Kelce has addressed the ongoing speculation around the state of his relationship with Taylor Swift as the pop star’s dad has revealed just what he thinks of the Superbowl champ.

After months of break-up rumours, Travis Kelce has opened up about the state of his relationship with pop superstar Taylor Swift.

In the most recent episode of Kelce and brother Jason’s New Heights podcast, the Kansas City Chiefs star said he and Swift are “absolutely happy” together.

The couple’s high-profile romance came up during the brothers’ interview with Kelce’s Grotesquerie co-star Niecy Nash.

The actress told listeners that people would “text [her] about Travis” after they began working together.

“They started off saying, ‘We’re watching [the show]. Is he the killer?’” she said. “Just to get [me] on the line texting them.

“Then they’re like, ‘Well, what do you know about his relationship?’” Nash said. “I’m like, ‘Get out of that man’s business!’”

As Kelce laughed, Nash called herself a “vault” and promised “nosy” people “aren’t getting nothing out of” her.

“I appreciate you,” Kelce said. “Every time someone has a mic in front of you and asks you something like that, thank you for always showing love.

“You know it’s real. And you know that me and Tay are absolutely happy, and I appreciate you always making sure everybody knows that.”

Kelce’s comment came nearly two months after a fake “comprehensive media plan” for him and Swift went viral on social media.

Kelce’s representatives denied making the “false and fabricated documents” detailing the couple’s “break-up plan” last month.

Since then, Kelce and Swift have been spotted on multiple PDA-packed dates, from a New York Yankees game to the US Open.

Most recently, the NFL star and Swift were photographed heading to dinner in New York during his bye week earlier this month.

The couple has been together since mid-2023.

Kelce is the pop star’s “protector,” a source told the New York Post, adding that the star feels “safe” in his presence.

It comes as Swift’s dad, Scott, revealed to a seatmate on a flight just what he thought of Kelce.

Scott Swift allegedly spoke to his seatmate on a Southwest Airlines flight out of New Orleans, with the individual describing their conversation via TikTok.

While Taylor Moore “did not ask anything about” Kelce, she claimed that the 72-year-old dad gushed about the American NFL star.

“He did … talk about how much he loves Travis for her, which was super cute,” the social media user recalled.

Moore said that Scott Swift also subtly dissed his daughter’s exes by allegedly saying “out of all of her boyfriends in the last 12 years … Travis has made the biggest impact.”

He went on to praise the athlete’s “phenomenal family,” with his fellow passenger claiming he knew Kylie Kelce‘s dad, Ed McDevitt, before his daughter began seeing Kelce.

“He said … ‘I knew they [the family] were amazing,” Moore alleged, adding that Scott “loves [Taylor and Travis] together.”

The passenger, who clarified that she was “not a massive fan” of the Grammy winner, went public with his quotes after a TikTok video went viral of herself and Scott chatting.

“Just Mr. Swift on my flight home from NOLA,” the original footage was captioned.

Moore called Scott “a talker” and said the “proud” dad showed her clips from Taylor’s New Orleans Eras Tour shows.

“He was, like, pointing out his favourite parts,” Moore alleged. “He was like, ‘Look how she does this, look at this, I love this part.’ Cutest thing in the world.”
