In a fairy-tale moment, NFL star Travis Kelce reportedly proposed to his girlfriend, pop sensation Taylor Swift, on Christmas Day, and she said yes. The couple, who have been dating for five months, celebrated the joyous occasion with their families, who gathered in Kansas City to watch Kelce and the Chiefs play.
"When they finally got a quiet moment alone, rumor has it Travis asked Taylor to marry him, and she accepted," a source revealed, according to In Touch. "Travis supposedly joked that it would have been nice if the Chiefs had also won, but getting engaged trumped everything."
The proposal was both romantic and traditional, with Kelce, 34, seeking the blessing of Swift's father, Scott, before getting down on one knee. "He had a gorgeous diamond set into a custom design for her - it's exactly what she wanted," the source said, estimating the sparkler's worth at about $1.2 million.
Both families are thrilled with the news, with Kelce quickly winning over Swift's parents. "Travis immediately won over Scott, who never really had much in common with Taylor's other boyfriends, and Andrea likes him, too," the source added. The Kelce family, while initially overwhelmed by the spotlight on the high-profile romance, has been pleasantly surprised by Swift's down-to-earth nature.
Swift, 34, has also seamlessly integrated into the Chiefs' family, becoming close friends with the players' wives, particularly Brittany Mahomes, wife of quarterback Patrick Mahomes. "It's like Taylor was born to be a football wife," the source remarked.
While the couple's busy schedules may delay wedding plans, with Swift's Eras Tour resuming in February and Kelce's football commitments, the eventual celebration is expected to be a star-studded affair. "His whole team and her whole squad will be there," the source predicted, anticipating multiple costume changes, A-list guests, and Grammy-level performances. "It's going to be the party of the century!"
Speculation is already swirling about who will serve as Swift's maid of honor, with friends Blake Lively, Emma Stone, and Selena Gomez among the top contenders. "Selena is the frontrunner," the source noted, adding that Swift will undoubtedly include her childhood best friend Brittany Maack, longtime pal Abigail Anderson, and newer bestie Lena Dunham in special roles.
The couple's love story has also sparked discussions about their future together, with Swift reportedly warming to the idea of starting a family. "Taylor loves being a godmother to her friends' kids, but she's never really talked too much about wanting to be a mother herself," the source said. "That's started to change a bit since she met Travis."
Kelce has also hinted at his desire for fatherhood, jokingly stating on his podcast that he needs to start "breeding" to gain his mother's favor over his brother Jason, who already has three children. "And his dad wants lots of grandkids," the source added, noting that the couple will likely take their time and focus on their careers before settling down to start a family.
As the news of their engagement spreads, friends and fans alike are celebrating the couple's happiness. "Taylor and Travis are both walking on air," the source shared. "They're madly in love - and plan to be together forever."
The news of their engagement comes on the heels of a romantic getaway to the Bahamas, where the couple was photographed enjoying each other's company and having deep conversations. "Travis told Taylor he wanted to spend the rest of his life with her, and she told him she feels the same," the source revealed as reported by Life & Style. "It wasn't an official proposal, but they're committed to each other, and they spent the weekend celebrating in paradise."
Since returning from their trip, Kelce has been the perfect picture of commitment, with rumors circulating that the pair are discussing moving in together, according to In Style. During a recent episode of his podcast, "New Heights," the football player even joked about baby names, saying, "I might name my first kid Conan," in reference to guest Arnold Schwarzenegger's 1982 movie "Conan the Barbarian."
With Swift reportedly already working on her vows, which may eventually become a song, and Kelce openly discussing their future together, it seems that this power couple is destined for a lifetime of love and happiness. As they navigate the challenges of their high-profile careers and plan for their future together, one thing is certain: Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are the ultimate "love story."
