Despite growing speculation about the future of their relationship, multiple sources close to Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift have revealed that the Kansas City Chiefs tight end has no immediate plans to propose to the Grammy-winning singer. The couple, who went public with their relationship in September 2023, have been enjoying a series of romantic getaways and supporting each other's careers, but insiders say marriage is not currently on the agenda.
"Travis has no plans on proposing to Taylor anytime soon," one source told Us Weekly. "It's not even on his radar. Marriage is something he takes very seriously and not something he would ever just jump into without giving it some careful consideration."
While the source maintains that Kelce, 34, "cares very deeply" about Swift, also 34, they emphasized that when it comes to a proposal, "he's just not there yet." The couple's recent vacation to Lake Como, Italy, which took place between Swift's European Eras Tour dates, had fueled rumors of a potential engagement. However, a separate source dismissed these speculations, stating, "Travis and Taylor have no plans on getting engaged this summer."
The insider went on to explain that although the couple's relationship is "going amazing," they "haven't even been together for a year yet and still have so much to learn about each other." While many of their loved ones would be thrilled to see Kelce get down on one knee, and some may even believe it will happen eventually, the source stressed that it would not be "anytime soon."
Instead of focusing on the next steps in their relationship, Kelce and Swift are reportedly staying in the present and enjoying their time together. During Swift's Eras Tour hiatus and Kelce's NFL offseason earlier this spring, the couple "focused on rest and recuperation" with movie nights at her Los Angeles home and other low-key activities, according to a third insider.
As Swift continues her international Eras Tour, which kicked off in Paris earlier this month, Kelce has been spotted supporting his girlfriend from the audience. Eagle-eyed fans noticed the NFL star dancing along in a box during Swift's May 12 show, where he was joined by the singer's best friend Gigi Hadid and actor Bradley Cooper.
Speaking to Us Weekly at the Kelce Jam festival in Bonner Springs, Kansas, on Saturday, May 18, Kelce praised Swift's performances, saying, "Taylor's shows are unbelievable. If you haven't been to them, you got to try it."
The couple's romantic getaways and public displays of affection have only added to the engagement speculation surrounding their relationship. However, sources close to the pair maintain that while their connection is strong, marriage is not a priority at this stage.
