Consequently, Jason Kelce spoke about his brother’s relationship with the pop icon. He revealed that he is glad that Travis found someone who brings so much joy into his life. As per the outlet, Jason quoted, “I know the kind of person he is, and I’ve been blessed to get to know Taylor over the last couple of years, and I just think that they match so well together.
“They are unbelievably supportive of each other in both of their outlandishly successful worlds,” he added. According to Jason, Taylor, and Travis, the Ts make the perfect match.
The couple, who began dating in 2023, kept their romance low-key until they were spotted in public appearances, including the Eras tour shows and Super Bowl games. The pop superstar and the NFL tight end announced their engagement on Instagram on August 26 with a carousel of romantic photos. According to his dad, Travis had the ring ready in July but was waiting for the right time to propose.
The caption read: “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married [firecracker emoji].”The firecracker appears to nod to their playful nickname “TNT,” which showcases their igniting chemistry that fans also agree on.
