Travis Kelce drops subtle clue about starting a family with Taylor Swift: ‘Maybe it’s time’

CANNES, FRANCE: Kansas City tight end Travis Kelce has provided fresh fodder for whispers about his future with Taylor Swift, and this time, it's not about rings or secret ceremonies.

Speaking at Cannes, Kelce casually agreed when prompted to adopt a dog, saying, “I need to get a dog.” 

Travis Kelce says ‘maybe it’s time’ to get a dog

During the event, 35-year-old Travis Kelce joined his brother, Jason, for a candid chat that eventually shifted to ads and pet products. Travis shared a relatable take, saying, “The ads I love the most are the ones I actually use, the stuff that I use every single day,” Kelce said. “It's hard to sell dog food when you don't have a dog.”

That’s when one of the panelists playfully chimed in, “Maybe it’s time you got a dog.” Rather than brushing it off, Kelce ran with the idea. “There you go, yeah, I need to get a dog,” he said with a grin, reports The Sun.

Just a few weeks prior, Travis Kelce’s mom, Donna, “liked” a fan comment saying he’d be an amazing dad, fueling speculation that the family might be preparing for something more than just game days.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce were at Stanley Cup Final with off-season glam

Swift and Kelce made a surprise joint appearance at Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final in Florida, bringing star power to the ice as the Florida Panthers faced off against the Edmonton Oilers on June 12, Thursday.

The couple, who’ve largely kept their public outings to a minimum since Swift’s globe-spanning Eras Tour, were spotted walking hand-in-hand into Amerant Bank Arena. Cameras caught Kelce sporting a bold cherry-red Palm Tree Crew outfit while Swift glowed in a cream Area tracksuit accented with glitter — and, of course, her signature red lip.

With Swift now on a break from performing and Kelce months away from the NFL’s first kickoff, the pair are leaning into a quieter, more grounded chapter. A source close to the couple revealed, “She’s really looking forward to the upcoming NFL season. Not just because she loves supporting Travis, but because for the first full season since they started dating, she’s not juggling a packed tour schedule.”

“The past two seasons were a whirlwind between performing across multiple countries, long flights, and trying to squeeze in alone time together wherever possible,” the source added. “It wasn’t easy but they made it work.”
