Travis Kelce openly expressed his affection for Taylor Swift, admiring the singer's "cool" persona and affirming his commitment to their relationship.
Throughout her career, the 14-time Grammy winner has faced criticism for her high-profile romances, with the singer claiming this is rooted in sexism.
Swift kept her relationship with Joe Alwyn tightly guarded from the public eye. The British actor disclosed that they had made a mutual agreement to keep their love story confidential.
Speaking to The Sunday Times Style, Alwyn said, "As everyone knows, we together - both of us, mutually - decided to keep the more private details of our relationship private."
"It was never something to commodify and I see no reason to change that now."
Meanwhile, Kelce spoke on the Bussin' With The Boys podcast and expressed his pride in the public acknowledgment of his relationship with the singer, which could be seen as a subtle dig at Alwyn, from whom Swift separated last year.
"You want to keep things private, but at the same time, I'm not here to hide anything. 'That's my girl, you know what I mean? That's my lady, so it's like'... I'm proud of that."
The Kansas City Chiefs star mentioned the importance of maintaining a delicate balance, emphasizing that he wasn't concerned about the spotlight.
He openly acknowledged, "I'm not sitting here trying to juggle, like, 'How can I keep this under wraps?' You just don't want to let everyone into your personal life and be able to comment on it, knowing that everything she does is getting a headline."
In praise of his girlfriend of 10 months, Kelce mused how Swift possesses a deep self-awareness and went on to gush about her genuine nature that shines through, especially in her interactions with friends and family.
"It can get crazy for somebody with that much attention, and she keeps it so chill and so cool, and I can admire it for sure."

Kelce further admitted that he was genuinely impressed by Swift's support for his career and her nonchalant demeanor at games, where she mingles with the crowd without any apprehension of being overwhelmed by fans.
He recalled, "The first game she came to against the Bears, I was like, 'I can probably set you up with everything,' and she just walked right through the front door. There's no like going down, talking to security, making sure she [gets to her seats]. She was like, #2I just want to be around the family and friends and experience this with everybody."
"I was just like, 'She got points for that.' She's in the madness. She wants to be a part of it. She wants to support me and do things like that. She really won me over with that."
Swift and Kelce's relationship has flourished over the past year, marked by the noteworthy moment when the "All Too Well" singer made a surprise appearance at Arrowhead Stadium during one of his NFL games last September 2023, officially acknowledging their romance in public.
