Diehard Sifties and Kansas City Chiefs fans aren’t the only ones actively hoping they see tight end and pop star walk down the aisle in 2025.
“I’m thinking this year they are going to get married, or after football,” former NFL corner and Pro-Bowler told The Mirror in an interview published on Friday, January 3. “Of course, they are going to be together.”
Jones also addressed the online conspiracy theory claiming Kelce and Swift are not in a “real relationship,” telling the outlet that he absolutely believes their romance is genuine.
“I think they are in a real relationship,” he said. “I know Trav, because he went to UC. His love [is genuine]. When he says he is with somebody, he is with somebody.”
He went on to add that he’s a “true believer” when it comes to the pair’s relationship, saying that “with the other young lady he was with, he was with her and he found something better and he moved on.”
“But I believe Travis a hundred percent,” Jones reiterated.
Kelce and Swift were first romantically linked in September 2023, after Swift attended her first Kansas City Chiefs game in person. The pop star later discussed her relationship with the Super Bowl champion in an interview with TIME as the outlet’s Person of the Year.
“When you say a relationship is public, that means I’m going to see him do what he loves, we’re showing up for each other, other people are there and we don’t care,” Swift said at the time. “The opposite of that is you have to go to an extreme amount of effort to make sure no one knows that you’re seeing someone. And we’re just proud of each other.”
Jones said in the same interview that he’s a big fan of what Kelce’s relationship with Swift has done for the NFL regarding women tuning in to watch more football games. He’s also pleased to see what Kelce’s elevated status as “Mr. Swift” has done for the tight end’s career off the football field.
“I love it,” he explained. “I wish I was that smart when I was young. What I’m saying is you see how many marketing deals he is getting. You see how many jerseys he’s selling. You see how many people [are] coming up to games — the Swifties. You see what his Instagram did since he [has] been with her. All of that s— plays a part.”
