The NFL star said wedding planning is âthe next stepâ since he proposed to the pop icon last month.
Jimmy Fallon gave Travis Kelce his advice for planning a wedding, weeks after the Kansas City Chiefs tight end proposed to pop icon Taylor Swift.
Fallon, the guest on the Sept. 17 episode of Kelceâs âNew Heightsâ podcast, which he co-hosts with his older brother, Jason Kelce, asked if the NFL star and Swift had started wedding planning yet.
âYeah, thatâs the next step. Thatâs the next step in it all,â Travis Kelce said.
âThe Tonight Showâ host gave some words of encouragement: âDonât stress about it. I remember thinking about it with my wife.â
Travis Kelce then joked that his wedding planning will be easy compared to his day job, as the Chiefs are currently 0-2 and ranking last in the AFC West this season.
âThat oneâs going to be easy,â he said. âI just got to figure out how to win a football game first.â
âThe wedding planning will be easy compared to trying to figure out how to fââ catch a goddamn football,â he joked.
Fallon, who has been married to Nancy Juvonen since 2007, then asked if Travis Kelce and Swift had decided if they will pick a DJ or a band for their nuptials.
âI think weâre live music kind of people,â Travis Kelce replied.
The couple announced their engagement in a joint Instagram post on Aug. 26.
âYour English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married,â they wrote in the caption.
The post showed a photo of Travis Kelce down on one knee as Swift held his face, surrounded by hundreds of flowers in a lush garden.
Ed Kelce, the father of Travis and Jason Kelce, spilled more details about the proposal in an interview with ABC News 5 Cleveland. He shared that his son popped the question about two weeks before their post went live on Instagram.
He said the pair got engaged in a garden in Leeâs Summit, Missouri, and that his son was planning to âmake some grand thing, to make it a big special event.â
âHe got her out there, they were about to go out to dinner, and he said, âLetâs go out and have a glass of wine.â ⌠They got out there, and thatâs when he asked her, and it was beautiful,â Ed Kelce said. âThey started FaceTiming me and their mother and her folks to make sure everybody knew. So, to see them together is great.â
Ed Kelce added he was prepared for his son to propose to Swift, and that he expected him to do it earlier â sometime during last yearâs football season.
âThatâs when it became obvious they were just crazy about each other,â he said.
