In a rare and candid moment at the Amazon Port Panel in Cannes, France, NFL star Travis Kelce teased the possibility of expanding his family with pop sensation Taylor Swift, sparking further rumors about a future baby. As fans continue to speculate on the couple’s next big step, Kelce’s comments at the event added fuel to the fire, but it wasn’t exactly what people were expecting.
During the panel, which featured Kelce alongside his brother, Jason Kelce, the topic of pets and family arose naturally. While discussing advertisements and the things he uses, Travis jokingly mentioned how he finds it difficult to endorse products he doesn’t personally use. “The ads I love the most are the ones I actually use, the stuff that I use every single day,” he said, referring to some of his favorite brand endorsements.
But the conversation quickly turned to dogs, sparking some amusing moments. “It’s hard to sell dog food when you don’t have a dog,” Travis quipped. At this point, a member of the panel seized the opportunity and suggested, “Maybe it’s time to get a dog.”
Without missing a beat, Kelce responded, “There you go, yeah, I need to get a dog.”
For those hoping that the next step for Kelce and Swift might be a baby announcement, this response quickly became a subject of speculation. The couple, who have been together for almost two years, have been the subject of constant rumors about starting a family together. Fans have long wondered if the duo would take the next big step and welcome a child soon. However, based on Kelce’s response at the event, it seems their growing family might take the form of a furry companion—at least for now.
Kelce’s comment about getting a dog didn’t go unnoticed by fans, who eagerly responded to the news, even speculating that a puppy might be on the horizon for the celebrity couple. While it may not be a child, a dog seems to be a fitting next chapter for the two, as they have already made headlines for their adventures together, from vacations to high-profile outings.
Despite the playful nature of Kelce’s comments, the timing of his personal decisions couldn’t come at a more hectic point in his professional life. As the Kansas City Chiefs head into mandatory minicamp from June 17 to June 19, followed by a brief month-long break, Kelce’s focus is understandably on football. With training camp for the Chiefs set to begin on July 21, the pressure is mounting for Kelce to bring his A-game and prove himself worthy of another season.
This upcoming season holds particular significance for Kelce, as many wonder if it could be his final ride. Despite his age and the toll that years of playing professional football can take on the body, Kelce seems far from done. Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes shared his optimism about Kelce’s future with the team during the OTAs, saying, “If it’s the last ride, you would never know.” Mahomes added, “The way he’s talking about football, the way he’s talking about working and trying to be even better this year than he was last year—he doesn’t seem like a guy that’s tired of the job.”
Mahomes went on to praise his teammate’s work ethic, noting that Kelce appears to be in great shape. “He’s in here, he’s working, and I know his body feels good. I think it feels better than even last year before going into last season,” Mahomes explained, emphasizing Kelce’s continued determination.
Indeed, Kelce’s commitment to his physical fitness is evident as he looks to bounce back from what many consider his worst season as a professional athlete. In 2024, Kelce posted career lows, recording just 823 yards and three touchdowns throughout the entire season. These numbers were a far cry from the elite performances Kelce has delivered throughout his career. However, instead of slowing down, Kelce has taken matters into his own hands this offseason. Reports reveal that he has dropped 25 pounds to return to top form, fully committed to the idea of finishing his career on a high note.
Kelce’s drive to reclaim his spot as one of the league’s top performers is further reflected in his statements. He’s not content with a mediocre season and is determined to do whatever it takes to be ready for the 2025 season. “I’m fighting with a vengeance to win my fourth Super Bowl this season,” he declared. For Kelce, it’s all about redemption, and he’s intent on proving to everyone—including his critics—that he’s still got what it takes.
While baby rumors have certainly swirled around Kelce and Swift, the couple’s focus remains on their respective careers, at least for now. Whether or not a child will be part of their future is still up in the air, but it’s clear that Kelce is ready to take on the challenges of another football season, with the full support of his famous girlfriend. As for the family expansion, a dog might just be the first addition to the Kelce-Swift clan, bringing joy and love to their already eventful lives.
Kelce’s resilience in the face of adversity is something fans can admire, and his journey this season will undoubtedly be one to watch closely. With the Chiefs expected to be a major contender for the Super Bowl once again, all eyes will be on the veteran tight end as he aims to prove that his best days are not behind him.
As Kelce sets his sights on a potential Super Bowl victory and the next phase of his life, one thing is for sure—whether it’s a dog or a baby, his fans will continue to cheer him on, excited for whatever comes next in this dynamic and ever-evolving chapter of his life with Taylor Swift.
