Patrick Mahomes Sets the Record Straight: Kelce's Not Dating, He's Engaged!

Patrick Mahomes put a reporter in his place over a question about Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift

SHOCKING ROMANCE ALERT: Travis Kelce Sets the Record Straight on Taylor Swift Engagement

In a jaw-dropping moment that left everyone in stitches, Kansas City Chiefs star Patrick Mahomes couldn't resist jumping in to correct a clueless reporter who seemed to have forgotten that his teammate, Travis Kelce, is actually engaged to global superstar Taylor Swift. The awkward exchange went down during a press conference in Brazil on Thursday, where the two NFL stars were promoting their upcoming season opener against the Los Angeles Chargers.

The reporter, seemingly out of touch with recent celebrity news, asked Kelce if any of his off-field activities, including "dating Taylor Swift," were proving to be a distraction heading into his 13th year in the league. But before Kelce could respond, Mahomes swiftly (pun intended) intervened, deadpanning: "Engaged." The room erupted in laughter as Kelce playfully chimed in, "Yeah, I got one more ring from it."

The reporter's mistake was a clear indication that they had been living under a rock – or at least hadn't been keeping up with the latest celebrity gossip. After all, news of Kelce and Swift's whirlwind romance broke just last week, with the NFL star popping the question in a romantic proposal after two years of dating.

In an exclusive interview earlier this week, Kelce finally opened up about his proposal to Swift, revealing that it was "a fun night" and expressing gratitude for all the love and support from their fans. "I appreciate everybody who reached out and sent something," he gushed. "All the posts, all the excitement that's been going on – it's been really fun telling everybody who I'm going to be spending the rest of my life with."

The engagement has sent shockwaves around the world, with Swifties (Swift fans) rejoicing at the news and speculating about the couple's future together. And judging by Kelce's enthusiastic response to the reporter's question, it seems like he's more than ready to take on the spotlight alongside his pop star fiancée.

As the NFL season kicks off this weekend, fans will be eagerly watching to see how Kelce and Swift navigate their high-profile relationship amidst the demands of their respective careers. Will they make red carpet appearances together? Will Swift join Kelce at Chiefs games? The possibilities are endless – and we can't wait to find out!
