As Travis Kelce gears up for another season with the Kansas City Chiefs, rumors are swirling about his relationship with girlfriend Taylor Swift.
While Kelce has expressed his love for the game and determination to return to the field following the Chiefs’ Super Bowl loss, it appears his focus on his career might be clashing with Swift’s hopes for their future together.
Despite the Chiefs’ disappointing Super Bowl LIX performance, Travis Kelce, 35, has made it clear that he isn’t planning to retire just yet. The NFL star recently shared his decision on the March 5 episode of New Heights with his brother Jason, explaining that the loss left a “bad taste” in his mouth, but he believes he can perform at a “higher level” than before. His passion for the game remains strong.
“The biggest thing is that I fu**ing love playing the game of football,” he admitted. Fans of Kelce celebrated his decision to return, but it’s possible that his girlfriend of nearly two years, Taylor Swift, doesn’t share the same enthusiasm.
The pressure to start a family
Swifties had hoped Kelce would retire from football after a victorious Super Bowl, allowing the couple to focus on their next chapter, including marriage and starting a family. Taylor, who wrapped up her record-breaking Eras Tour in December, has had a successful career of her own, with over 114 million albums sold and a $1 billion tour.
“The idea was that Travis would win the Super Bowl and go out in a blaze of glory, so they could have more time together to plan a wedding and have a baby,” an insider told Radar Online.
“Fans want them to start a family as soon as possible.” However, with Kelce’s decision to keep playing, some wonder if this focus on his career is straining their relationship. Swift, 35, may have hoped for more time with Kelce, especially after her tour concluded.
Kelce himself has been clear about his commitment to returning to the field stronger than ever. In a message shared on his talk show in February, he wrote, “I’m coming back for sure. Gonna try and get to the best shape I’ve been this offseason and get back to the mountaintop.”
Some believe that Taylor may have a clearer vision of their future together. The source mentioned that Swift has “her future planned out to a tee,” suggesting that she may not want to start a family while Kelce is still focused on his football career. The demands of training and the football season itself could leave little room for the couple to focus on building a family, and Swift may prefer to wait until Kelce’s career winds down.
