LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Taylor Swift has received heartfelt relationship advice from 'Toy Story's Woody, aka Tom Hanks.

Hanks recently shared a waffle-inspired tip for the singer, drawing from his own marriage to wife Rita Wilson, which has lasted 38 years. His simple yet meaningful advice reflected the small gestures that have helped keep their relationship strong over the decades.

The advice comes as Swift prepares to marry Travis Kelce. According to reports, the couple's July 3 wedding at Madison Square Garden is expected to welcome more than 1,000 guests. Notably, the pair reportedly announced their engagement on August 26, sharing intimate photos alongside the caption, "Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married."

Tom Hanks shares waffle-inspired advice for Taylor Swift

The actor, who recently celebrated his 38th wedding anniversary with wife and fellow entertainer Rita Wilson, shared some relationship wisdom while attending the premiere of his upcoming movie, 'Toy Story 5', on June 9. During an interview with E! News, Hanks offered a simple suggestion for the future Mr and Mrs Kelce: "The man must make the waffles on Sunday."

While the advice sounds lighthearted, the message behind it is meaningful. Taking time to slow down and enjoy each other's company can go a long way, especially for a couple with schedules as packed as Swift's and Kelce's.

There is, however, one obvious challenge: Kelce is typically busy on Sundays during football season. Perhaps the offseason is when the waffle-making tradition can truly shine.

Hanks isn't the only one to weigh in on the couple's future marriage. After news of their engagement broke, CNN anchors even held a roundtable discussion on marriage advice, offering tips such as "Always cheer for each other the loudest," "Share everything," and, perhaps most practically, "Get a prenup."

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's high-profile wedding sparks curiosity over secret invitation

According to reports, Swift, who is expected to say "I do" on July 3, has sent out between 1,100 and 1,200 invitations. A star-studded guest list is also rumored to include Suki Waterhouse, Gigi Hadid, Karlie Kloss, Zoe Kravitz, Ed Sheeran, the Haim sisters, and Selena Gomez.

Despite the reported details, one mystery remains: the exact wording of the wedding invitation. The text or message shared with guests has never been publicly revealed, adding another layer of intrigue to the closely guarded event.

Security is also expected to be extensive. Reports suggest that the New York City Police Department (NYPD) will not be the only team overseeing safety at the wedding, with private security companies also set to play a major role in protecting guests and maintaining privacy throughout the celebration.
