LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Taylor Swift’s beau, Travis Kelce, has reportedly garnered the label of "golden retriever boyfriend," and a celebrity matchmaker recently described why it's perfect.

The footballer and the pop icon have been together for almost two years now. They have time and time again shown how to be supportive of one another despite having a super busy schedule.

Celebrity matchmaker explains why Travis Kelce is a 'golden retriever boyfriend'

Alessandra Conti told Fox News Digital that being a golden retriever boyfriend means someone who "has boundless enthusiasm, is emotionally available, loyal, playful, super-affectionate, warm, and is a devoted, healthy, and delightful long-term partner, especially after a woman has experienced a less-than-fabulous relationship."

"He is not afraid to hype up his partner and does not hide his affection for her either," the expert explained, before adding that the tight end has all these qualities, and that's why he is a "perfect match for his black cat girlfriend, Taylor Swift."

Meanwhile, being a black cat means being a bit mysterious, reserved, and independent.

Fans think Travis Kelce is the 'ultimate golden retriever boyfriend'

The publication reported that the golden retriever boyfriend trend started on TikTok some years ago. And, a TikToker recently shared, "Travis Kelce is paving the way for golden retriever boyfriends, and I am here for it." While another wrote, "Golden retriever boyfriend strikes again," referring to the Kansas City Chiefs player.

An X (formerly Twitter) user had posted a few months ago, "Dear Taylor Swift, if you decide to have babies with Travis Kelce, please know that Golden Retriever boyfriends make the best dads."



 

Another added, "Travis Kelce might be the ultimate golden retriever boyfriend. Like the prototype for golden retriever boyfriends." 



 

Matchmaker describes other types of boyfriends

Alessandra Conti also spoke about other celebrities like John Krasinski and Tom Holland.

She said, "John Krasinski is a classic example of golden retriever boyfriend energy. He has graduated from boyfriend to husband and has been the trusty and supportive companion to wife Emily Blunt since 2010. He exudes warmth and doesn’t pass up an opportunity to sing his wife’s praises."

Regarding Holland, Conti shared, "He famously is loving and protective of girlfriend Zendaya and is so loyal and respectful of their relationship that he has been seen actively avoiding physical contact with other women."

But she finds Jason Momoa and Gerard Butler the "ultimate rottweiler/doberman boyfriend."

"These men are the ‘knights in shining armor’ with hearts of gold and will defend their women and friends," she mentioned.
