While Travis Kelce isn’t planning on retiring anytime soon, the Kansas City Chiefs star is already thinking ahead to life after football.
The three-time Super Bowl champion has been focused on securing his fourth ring—his third consecutive title—but also envisions a future that includes starting a family with his girlfriend, Taylor Swift.
According to a source close to the couple, Kelce’s post-NFL plans revolve around his relationship with Swift and their shared future.
“Taylor and Travis are all in with each other, that is a simple fact everyone can agree with, but as it pertains to where they will live in the foreseeable future, especially together, will be judged by a few factors,” the source told the Daily Mail.
While Kelce is focused on his current season, a potential third consecutive Super Bowl victory with the Chiefs would make him more inclined to retire when his contract expires in 2027. If that happens, he is ready to ride off into the sunset and start a family with Swift, no matter where that may take them. “He’s not ready to retire, but if the Chiefs win a third consecutive Super Bowl, Travis will be more prone to retire after his current contract that expires in 2027 and ride off into the sunset and look to start a family with Taylor anywhere she wants,” the source shared. “That place is leaning towards Nashville.”
Nashville has a special place in Swift’s heart, as it is where she launched her career. The couple both reportedly love the city, which offers the peace and tranquility they need while ensuring safety. “New York City is exciting, and Taylor will always consider this home,” the source continued. “But she is growing, as is their relationship, and she feels that it is time for her to establish roots in the ground for her future. Nashville is the place where she started her career, and this is all coming full circle. They both love the city… It is beautiful, and it offers them the peace and tranquility with the assurance of safety that they both require.”
In addition to discussing their future, rumors are swirling that Swift and Kelce may already be planning to live together. “Taylor has grown up a lot in the past couple of years,” the source revealed. “Falling in love with Travis so deeply has shifted her priorities around a bit and has given her a new outlook on life.” The couple is reportedly considering starting a family in one home, a typical step for any couple looking to build a life together.
Since their relationship began in 2023, Swift and Kelce have been seen celebrating holidays together and supporting each other’s careers. Swift has attended several Chiefs games in the 2024/2025 season, and Kelce has shown his support for Swift, attending multiple shows during her “Eras Tour,” which concluded in December 2024. As they continue to navigate their busy careers, their future together seems to be taking shape, with Nashville possibly playing a central role in their plans.
