Travis Kelce was already a star in his own right with his career in the NFL. He even knows, though, how good he has it in his relationship with Taylor Swift.

While playing golf this weekend at the American Century Championship, a fan called out to Kelce that he “(had) the best girlfriend in the world”. As other viewers around them laughed, he couldn’t do anything but agree with her.

“Good point,” Kelce responded.

Kelce has been in a well-known, power couple in a relationship with Swift for nearly two years now going back to the fall of 2023. They’ve made several appearances with one another over that time, whether at stadiums for his games or her concerts and publicly in general.

Kelce is coming off of one of his worse seasons in nearly decade through a dozen years spent with the Kansas City Chiefs. That’s with 97 receptions for 823 yards and just three touchdowns in the regular season, which still earned him the nod as a Pro Bowler. He would also make another appearance in the Super Bowl with the Chiefs making it for the third-straight year before losing their chance at a three-peat to the Philadelphia Eagles. He’ll now be back again this year for a thirteenth season in Kansas City.

Kelce opens up on relationship, paparazzi changing habits with Taylor Swift

Travis Kelce initially rose to fame due to his play on the football field. His fame, however, rose to another level when it was revealed that he had begun dating Taylor Swift back in 2023, which has brought even more eyes as they’ve been labeled as one of the more known couples in America.

Kelce recently joined ‘Bussin with the Boys’, hosted by Taylor Lewan and Will Compton, and discussed Swift in that podcast. Part of that conversation was how his popularity has grown so much in recent years with his play on the field and his relationship with her off of it.

“We’re having fun with it, man,” Kelce said. “Yeah, being a couple, dude. You already know. It gets thrown out there as it’s like we’re trying to seek attention every now and then. But it’s like, we’re just enjoying life and having fun, going to hockey games, kind of introducing her to some more of the sports world.”

Again, going out into public now definitely has its consequences now for Kelce. He hilariously touched on this while recalling paparazzi sneaking on him while playing golf.

“I’m just playing golf and, all of a sudden in the trees, there’s a f***ing guy with a camera,” Kelce said. “Like, ‘Oh s***, I gotta go to the restroom now. I can’t just go over here to take a piss.'”
