Travis Kelce is proud to have girlfriend Taylor Swift by his side, and he doesn’t mind that the whole world is watching.
In a radio interview conducted before Super Bowl LVIII earlier this month (and just now resurfacing on social media), sports reporter Laura Okmin told Kelce, 34, “Love looks good on you,” to which he replied, “I appreciate that, thank you.”
Okmin remarked that Kelce was getting ready to step onto “the biggest stage in football” once again as the Kansas City Chiefs prepared to play the San Francisco 49ers in the big game on February 11, but she noted that his personal life has also been in the spotlight more than ever since he began dating Swift, 34, last summer.
“Well, the biggest thing for me is … I never want the people in the building to ever have the idea that I’m not focused on the game, I’m not focused on being my best at football and not having all my focus and all my attention to my craft and making sure that I’m accountable in the biggest game of our lives,” Kelce said.

The tight end acknowledged that he wanted to find the right balance in the public eye. “With that being said, I do, you know, have a guarded approach to it,” he explained. “But at the same time, I know what me and Taylor have is special, so I get [the interest].”
Okmin recalled speaking with Kelce years prior when he was “in a transformational place” in his life, remembering how he perceived people’s opinions of him. She asked whether he was “aware of the impact” his relationship with Swift has had on NFL fans throughout the season, especially when it comes to young women showing a new interest in the sport.
“I’m very aware,” Kelce said. “And obviously, this is mostly because Taylor’s in my life now and we got her [to be] part of Chiefs Kingdom, and sure enough, that brought an entire entourage of human beings who just love to support her and love to support everything that she’s about.”
