Travis Kelce has vowed to keep his relationship personal
In September, Kelce told his brother Jason Kelce on the 'New Heights' podcast episode, "It is my personal life," in reference to Taylor Swift.
"I want to respect both of our lives. She isn’t in the media as much as I am doing this show every single week and having fun during the NFL season on other guys’ shows," he said at the time.
"I know I brought all this attention to me," Travis said, adding "I did the whole friendship bracelet thing and told everybody how butt-hurt I was I didn’t get to meet Taylor."
He continued, "Everything moving forward, I think me talking about sports will have to be where I keep it."
