Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift are engaged, and Patrick Mahomes is celebrating the couple.
Pretty much ever since Kelce and Swift went public with their relationship in September 2023, people have been speculating if and when they would get married. As time wore on, it became clear they were in it for the long haul.
On Tuesday afternoon, the duo officially announced their engagement in a joint Instagram post showing the Kansas City Chiefs tight end on his knee popping the question to the Midnights singer in the middle of an outdoor garden scene.
“Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married 🧨,” Swift captioned the post.
There have already been thousands of personal reactions to the news–and thousands (millions?) more to come.
Mahomes’ is pretty important though, considering he’s Kelce’s quarterback and close friend and is tight with Swift as well.
The 3-time Super Bowl champ keeps it simple
Mahomes didn’t issue any lengthy statements or crack jokes, at least not yet. On Instagram, he shared Kelce and Swift’s announcement post on his Instagram story along with three red heart emojis.
It’s possible that Mahomes comes out and says more on social media later today, and God knows he’s going to be asked about the happy couple at his next media session and throughout the entire 2025 NFL season.
It’s a family affair
Mahomes and his wife Brittany have spent lots of time with Kelce and Swift over the last two-plus years. Though Brittany Mahomes and Swift’s friendship may have hit a rocky point before and after the 2024 presidential election, the two still have a seemingly strong relationship.
Brittany herself had a heartfelt reaction to today’s engagement announcement.
“Two of the most genuine people meet & fall in love. Just so happy for these two,” she wrote on her IG story.
It goes without saying how tight Kelce and Mahomes are. The two have formed one of the most potent quarterback/pass catcher connections in NFL history, and off the field, are good friends. They’re even about to open up their own restaurant together.
Jason Kelce is almost assuredly going to be Travis’ best man, but Mahomes will likely be by his side as a groomsman if we had to guess.
