Kylie Kelce, the sister-in-law of NFL star Travis Kelce, recently shared insights into how she, along with her husband Jason Kelce, first learned about Travis dating global pop sensation Taylor Swift. During an episode of the Call Her Daddy podcast on February 12, Kylie, who is married to Jason Kelce, hinted that the family was aware of their blossoming romance even before Swift made her public appearance at a Kansas City Chiefs game on September 24, 2023.
Refusing to divulge too many details, Kylie mentioned that they were informed about the relationship before it became widely known to the public. She disclosed, “We were not… It did not hit the group chat,” emphasizing that they were privy to the information prior to the official confirmation. The couple, Jason and Kylie, together discovered the news, and the revelation preceded Swift’s attendance at the sports event, marking the beginning of their relationship.
In a candid conversation with podcast host Alex Cooper, Kylie also shed light on the common ground she shares with Swift, reminiscing about their childhood visits to the same coastal spots in New Jersey. Kylie expressed, “We grew up going to the same shore points… the exact areas that I grew up going to.” This shared connection formed a bond between the two women, adding depth to their evolving relationship.
Debunking speculations surrounding her first encounter with the Grammy-winning artist at a Chiefs game in January 2024, Kylie dismissed rumours of any intentional avoidance or reluctance to meet Swift. Addressing the misconceptions and media scrutiny, she clarified that their initial meeting was not delayed intentionally, stating, “I’m not avoiding anyone… I’m more than happy to meet someone, especially someone that Travis is dating.”
As the public fascination with Travis and Swift’s relationship grew, the duo sparked dating rumours in September 2023 and eventually confirmed their love story in October of the same year. Their public appearances together, including holding hands at a Saturday Night Live afterparty and attending several Chiefs games, kept fans and media outlets intrigued. After the recent Super Bowl defeat for the Kansas City Chiefs, where Swift was in attendance to support Travis, the couple is reportedly seeking some downtime post their hectic schedules.
Sources close to the couple shared insights with PEOPLE, indicating that Travis and Swift are looking forward to a moment of respite together after a whirlwind period since the initiation of their romance. The source mentioned, “Their lives have been a whirlwind since they first started dating… [and] they’re incredibly happy together.” Amidst their individual professional commitments, the duo intends to prioritise spending quality time together, away from the spotlight.
