NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA: Despite recent setbacks in their careers, licensed relationship therapist Jaime Bronstein believes that Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s bond will grow stronger as they navigate challenges together.

Expert on Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's relationship challenges
“Things were almost too perfect for them, and to be humbled in life, as an individual and as a couple, is a beautiful thing and I believe it will make them stronger,” Bronstein said in an exclusive interview with Page Six on Monday, February 10.
The therapist noted that facing adversity can serve as an important learning experience for both individuals and couples. “If there’s no conflict ever, then it’s a surface relationship. That’s never recommended,” Bronstein added. “It’s a good thing and a normal thing for relationships to be tested."
The therapist went on to say, “To be tested in whatever way it is, is a positive thing because it means both people are showing up as their authentic selves.”
The couple, both 35 years old, began their romance in Summer 2023 and have enjoyed several public moments of celebration. However, Bronstein emphasized that no relationship is without conflict, especially when both partners experience high levels of career success.
“Taylor Swift has a lot of money. Travis Kelce has a lot of money. But money doesn’t make everything better,” she continued, explaining that “empathy and compassion in a relationship is so crucial.”
Therapist highlights Taylor Swift's empathy and importance of unconditional love in relationship
Taylor Swift’s empathy was clearly on display during the 2025 Super Bowl when she watched Travis Kelce’s team suffer a 40-22 defeat. According to Bronstein, Swift’s concerned expression was a sign of her care for Kelce, a key ingredient in a strong partnership.
“These are two human beings that are going through a hard time and Taylor being empathetic toward him is a huge sign that they have the potential to make it in the long run,” she remarked.
The expert also suggested that in the wake of their setbacks, Swift and Kelce should focus on building each other up and showing unconditional love. “Saying, ‘I love you no matter what,’ is so powerful,” Bronstein said.
Physical connection is another crucial aspect of maintaining a healthy bond during challenging times.
“To have that physical time together is so huge and so good for your nervous system,” she went on. “Physically being together grounds people.”
For couples like Swift and Kelce, who face intense public scrutiny, Bronstein advised that seeking professional help could also be beneficial if their relationship experiences long-term difficulties.
“They’re going to rise again, just like everybody does,” Bronstein concluded. “There’s highs and lows in life. They’re going through a blip and they will both rise again because they’re superstars. They love what they do. They’re both so talented. They’re going to have their ups again.”
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce face tough week
The past week has been particularly tough for the power couple. Taylor Swift, nominated for six Grammy awards, left the event empty-handed. However, she made history by becoming the first woman to be nominated seven times for Album of the Year.
A source close to Swift clarified that she didn’t feel slighted by her Grammy loss.
“She didn’t feel snubbed whatsoever and is grateful for an incredible year, the journey she’s had with the Eras Tour and being on the road with all her fans,” the insider stated, adding that she “feels honored to have been nominated among so many other incredibly talented artists.”
On the other hand, Kelce’s team, the Kansas City Chiefs, faced a crushing 40-22 loss in the 2025 Super Bowl against the Philadelphia Eagles. Swift was seen watching the game from her suite, with a concerned expression on her face as she watched the Chiefs struggle.
Despite the tough losses, Bronstein remains confident that Swift and Kelce’s bond will continue to grow stronger through their shared challenges.
“If they can do that and if they can still have the confidence to love themselves, they can 100 percent get through this,” Bronstein said.
