Travis Kelce’s appearance onstage with Taylor Swift at Wembley Stadium on Sunday, June 23 proved that the athlete is up for anything. There’s nothing that seems to rock their solid foundation in their whirlwind romance, but the Kansas City Chiefs tight end shared one revealing, and difficult, aspect to their romance that he and Swift can’t just shake off.
The dynamic duo loves the public’s fascination with their relationship, but they are still trying to find the right balance of what remains private. “It’s like, you want to keep things private, but at the same time, I’m not here to hide anything. Like, that’s my girl. That’s my lady. I’m proud of that,” Kelce admitted on the Monday, June 24 episode of Bussin’ With the Boys podcast. “I’m not sitting here trying to juggle, ‘How can I keep this under wraps?’” Swift and Kelce have invited fans in, but at the same time, they also need their privacy, especially when people can sometimes be a little too invested in their love life.
“You just don’t want to let everybody into your personal life and be able to comment on it knowing that everything she does is getting a headline,” he added. When they aren’t having massive moments in their careers like playing in the Super Bowl or selling out stadiums across the globe, Kelce and Swift are trying to do very normal, everyday things together. During their early spring break together, an Us Weekly insider revealed how they spent their time.
“They’re focused on rest and recuperation and relaxing at home and having low-key and chill time together,” the source said. “They are enjoying movie nights in her home theater, catching up on films and shows they’ve missed.” That means “spending quality time together” and Swift’s favorite hosting activity — playing hostess to “small, intimate gatherings with friends and family.” Their larger-than-life year is probably why they crave peaceful moments behind closed doors together. However, their desire for privacy won’t stop their public support of each other.
In December 2023, Swift shared their couple’s strategy with Time, and they haven’t veered away from that since. “When you say a relationship is public, that means I’m going to see him do what he loves, we’re showing up for each other, other people are there and we don’t care,” she explained. “The opposite of that is you have to go to an extreme amount of effort to make sure no one knows that you’re seeing someone. And we’re just proud of each other.” So, let Kelce and Swift enjoy those quiet moments away from the spotlight because they are giving us so much of their relationship in public.
