Jason explained that the interest in Travis's romantic pursuits has been ongoing since he appeared on the reality show Catching Kelce in 2016. The show portrayed Travis as the eligible bachelor, with women vying for his affections. Ultimately, he selected Maya Benberry as the winner of the show, but their relationship didn't survive beyond the show's finale.

What sparked the dating rumours?

The dating rumours began after a report by The Messenger claimed that Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have been hanging out with each other frequently. A source stated, "Taylor and Travis have been quietly hanging out," adding that Swift saw him during her visit to New York City a few weeks ago.

In an intriguing twist, Kelce had previously expressed his desire to meet Swift. He revealed on the New Heights podcast alongside his brother, fellow NFL star Jason Kelce, that he had crafted a special gift for the pop star: a bracelet containing his phone number. Kelce had intended to present this bracelet to Swift during her Eras tour stop in Kansas City. However, he disclosed that he couldn't meet her backstage due to her need to preserve her voice for her extensive song performances.
