Travis Kelce was “Enchanted” by Taylor Swift from day one.
Jason Kelce revealed he knew “early on” that his brother’s relationship with the pop star was the real deal as he reflected on the couple’s love story on TNT’s “Steam Room” Friday evening.
“I remember the first time he said he was hanging out with her and I remember just being like, ‘Are you kidding me? You’re hanging out with Taylor Swift? Like, that’s insane. That’s awesome for you,” Jason, 37, recalled.
“You know, you meet a lot of people. I think this felt different.”
“What also felt different was just the way he talks about her and talked about her from the moment he was with her. You could tell how much he really, really liked her right from the get go,” Jason continued.
The former Philadelphia Eagles player told hosts Ernie Johnson and Charles Barkley that the “level” of their romance was “very eye-opening” for him when he first started getting to know Swift.
Swift and Travis, both 35, have been dating for nearly two years. And since the start of their relationship, the Grammy winner has played an important role in the NFL tight end’s life, according to Jason.
On Tuesday, Jason shared how the “Fortnight” songstress played a role in his younger brother’s “staggering” growth in recent years.
“One of the things I love so much about Travis is that he never grew up, like, he was like Peter Pan, and like, the Lost Boys,” said Jason during his appearance on the “Fitz & Whit” podcast.
When asked if Travis is “growing up now,” Jason immediately responded, “For sure.”
“Trav, he is growing up. He’s still, though, got that youthful enthusiasm,” he explained. “I think he’ll kinda always have that, it’s just part of his personality, and I think it’s one of the reasons every teammate has loved playing with him and anybody that’s ever met Trav, you can’t help but just love the guy.”
The couple’s romance is reportedly still going strong after they were seen together at the 2025 Super Bowl earlier this month.
Though, we’ll likely be seeing less of the pair for a while as a source said they are taking some time off to relax after the Chiefs’ loss to the Eagles.
