The couple shared the news in a joint Instagram post with a quirky caption: “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married.” The post features five photos of the couple surrounded by greenery, with one picture showcasing a stunning engagement ring on Swift’s finger.
Their relationship first captured public attention when Kelce revealed on his podcast that he had tried—and failed—to give Swift a friendship bracelet with his phone number on it at her Eras Tour concert. Their romance quickly blossomed, with Swift becoming a regular presence at Kelce’s games, including Super Bowl LVIII, where they shared a celebratory kiss after the Chiefs’ victory. Kelce was also spotted on stage with Swift during her Eras Tour, marking his first foray into her world.
A Strong Foundation
According to Us Weekly, the couple’s relationship has thrived because of their shared values. An insider revealed that they “found a lot of common ground they were not expecting, and it made their relationship stronger.”
Another source cited their mutual ambition, work ethic, and values as the core of their solid foundation, noting that they have “found their counterpart” in one another.
