Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift are keeping things low-key during their respective off-seasons — the NFL off-season for the former and life after the Eras Tour for the latter.
However, they remain top of mind as one of the entertainment and football world’s hottest couples, especially thanks to their combined star power, and Travis’ colleagues are weighing in on it as well.
Fellow Super Bowl champs Julian Edelman and Rob Gronkowski brought up the Kansas City Chiefs tight end during an episode of their podcast Dudes on Dudes, making sure to praise him despite the Chiefs’ crushing defeat at Super Bowl LIX at the hands of the Philadelphia Eagles.
“He’s a superstar,” Julian said of Travis, then bringing up Taylor. “He’s dating Taylor [expletive] Swift, and they might have a kid. That would be a great kid.”
Rob added: “They should. The kid [will] be performing, having eight catches a game, and then doing the halftime show… in 24 years?” to which Julian quipped: “Probably sooner.
Taylor was on the scene when she was, like, 13.”
Rob continued: “Their kids will be, like, 14 in college. They just surpass middle school cause he’s so smart. He’ll be in the league at 18 and performing at halftime.”

Taylor, for her part, has been more sparing as she chooses to maintain a more private life.
She has gushed about her boyfriend on social media and in award show speeches, but brought him up more extensively during her conversation with TIME in December 2023 when she was named their Person of the Year.

She referenced her appearances at his games, most notably the ones at Arrowhead Stadium, always being highly publicized.
“I don’t know how they know what suite I’m in,” she mentioned. “There’s a camera, like, a half-mile away, and you don’t know where it is… so I don’t know if I’m being shown 17 times or once.”

“This all started when Travis very adorably put me on blast on his podcast, which I thought was metal as hell,” she recalls. “We started hanging out right after that. So we actually had a significant amount of time that no one knew, which I’m grateful for, because we got to get to know each other.”

The opposite of that is you have to go to an extreme amount of effort to make sure no one knows that you’re seeing someone. And we’re just proud of each other.”
