On Tuesday, August 26, 2025, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and global pop sensation Taylor Swift took to Instagram to announce their engagement. The couple shared a heartwarming photo of themselves in a garden, accompanied by the caption: "Your english teacher and your gym teacher are getting married."

The Journey of Their Relationship

Kelce and Swift first began dating in 2023, with Swift frequently seen at Kansas City Chiefs games alongside Kelce's mother, Donna Kelce. In an interview with Time magazine, where Swift was named the 2023 Person of the Year, she revealed how their relationship began:

"This all started when Travis very adorably put me on blast on his podcast, which I thought was metal as hell. We started hanging out right after that. So we actually had a significant amount of time that no one knew, which I'm grateful for, because we got to get to know each other. By the time I went to that first game, we were a couple. I think some people think that they saw our first date at that game? We would never be psychotic enough to hard launch a first date."
