Travis Kelce politely asked the public to stay out of his business as he refused to answer whether he is “in love” with Taylor Swift or not.
The 34-year-old has been dating the Grammy-winning musician since the start of September and as each week passes, they become increasingly more public and open with their romance.
Travis Kelce’s gets asked if he’s in love with Taylor Swift… and this was his response
But there is a line, and the NFL player made sure that he drew a firm marker as media asked him just how deep his passion for the ‘Blank Space’ singer runs.
“The latest status is, I got to see her last week,” Kelce said as reported by ESPN’s Jeff Darlington. “I’m going to keep my personal relationship personal.”
He isn’t unopposed to questions about themselves to a degree, but he will not publicly discuss the details of their relationship with each other – something that Swift is yet to publicly address despite the numerous snaps of the pair from the paparazzi and fans.
Kelce had already said this, on his New Heights podcast as he asserted he wants to protect the privacy of the pair.
The first sighting of their romance came at the Arrowhead Stadium where Swift shared a booth with Kelce’s mother, as she watched the Kansas City Chiefs face off against the Chicago Bears.

Taylor Swift is a perfect fit for Travis Kelce and his close-knit family, a source tells PEOPLE.
Swift and Kelce, both 34, set the internet ablaze on Sunday when the singer joined her beau on the field after he and the Kansas City Chiefs won the AFC Championship game in Baltimore.
The couple shared a sweet kiss as they celebrated with Kelce’s parents, Donna and Ed Kelce, and his brother, Jason Kelce.
A source close to the couple tells PEOPLE, “It was the best night ever,” and that the “whole family was so, so excited and riding a high,” after Kansas City secured their spot in the 2024 Super Bowl. “Their phones were blowing up all night with congrats. The energy on the field was just insane,” the source adds.
Next, Kelce and the Chiefs will compete against the San Francisco 49ers, hoping for back-to-back Super Bowl wins on Feb. 11 in Las Vegas.
“To be going to Vegas now is indescribable,” says the insider. “Having his family there, all his best friends and managers, and of course, Taylor, celebrating with him was very special.”

The source tells PEOPLE that Kelce “was feeling every single emotion” on Sunday. “Now he and the team are focusing on the Super Bowl.”

According to the insider, “It’s going to be an intense couple of weeks,” as the Chiefs prepare for the Super Bowl. But as Kelce gets through the grueling practices, he’ll have Taylor on his side.
“It’s obvious, isn’t it? They’re genuinely happy together,” the source continues. “She’s there to support him and cheer him on, and she’s fit in seamlessly with everyone he loves.”
And when the 12-time Grammy winner is spending time with Kelce and his family, “They don’t see her as ‘Taylor Swift’ the superstar,” says the source.
After the Chiefs win on Sunday, several photos of Swift lovingly embracing Donna and Ed circulated on social media. Actress Keleigh Teller also shared a photo of Swift posing alongside Donna, Ed and Travis’ brother Jason Kelce, 36.
Swift was later seen with her arm around Ed, who was sporting his son’s Chiefs jersey, as she pointed to Chiefs head coach Andy Reid, who was on stage receiving their AFC Championship trophy.

As for whether or not Swift will be at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas when the Super Bowl kicks off, the singer’s attendance is still uncertain due to her tour schedule.
Swift’s Eras Tour resumes on Feb. 7, marking the start of a six-month run across Asia, Australia and Europe before returning to North America on Oct. 18 to finish her final 15 shows.

The 34-year-old megastar – who is releasing The Tortured Poets Department on Friday – has been leaving breadcrumbs for her diehard fans to follow leading up to her 11th studio release.
A superfan with the username @BlankSpaceProd took to X to create a ten post thread on the album teasing from Taylor beginning with her Instagram page.
It began: ‘1. Taylor Swift’s insta page became promo with a countdown until the #TSTTPD drop. It told us to do to threads, and we crashed the site. “ttpd” sparkles on threads.’
The second post was that Taylor had dropped an exclusive video on Spotify to promote the album.
Taylor Swift (seen at The Grammys in February) has left Swifties on quite the online scavenger hunt on the release week of her highly-anticipated new album The Tortured Poets Department and they are loving it
Not to be forgotten there was a clue for Apple Music users as they found that ‘THIS’ was the word of the day and was found in the lyrics to her 2010 song Better Than Revenge from album Speak Now.
The user wrote that the fourth clue was: ‘SERPENTINE Someone found a barcode with the product label “serpentine.”
‘s e r p e n t i n e r e p u t a t i o n (Same # of letters) Serpentine is a lake in Hyde Park in London, which a city featured in a rep MV and featured on ttpd.’
Things get even more interesting as the fifth clue says: ‘A QR code was being painted in Chicago which, when scanned, takes you to a YouTube short that says this below. (This goes with a theory I’ve been posting about that I’ll share below) Also appears to be mysterious Roman numeral II in some Ts and an m.’
The link leads to a YouTube short which reads: ‘Error 321 – 1.’
The sixth clue was that fan club Taylor Nation invited Swifties to a library pop-up at famous outdoor mall The Grove in Los Angeles beginning on Tuesday which will go through Thursday and change every day.
The seventh clue was producer credits for The Tortured Poets Department as Taylor will have two solo songs on the upcoming album.
The eighth clue was one of the wildest clues as there is a listing for a fake Tortured Poets book on Amazon written by an author named Willow Bowery.

It read: ‘A fake book of poetry We’re on that swiftie s*** again. No. This is not a Taylor book of poetry. It’s been on Amazon, and it’s just someone using Taylor for clout.’
