Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift Are Back to Being Just Friends After Their Latest Outing; He Says He Wants to Date Someone Younger.

After months of public appearances and widespread media speculation, NFL star Travis Kelce and pop icon Taylor Swift are reportedly back to being “just friends.” The buzz surrounding the pair intensified after a recent outing where they were seen enjoying each other’s company, sparking rumors of a rekindled romance. However, sources close to the duo confirm that the meeting was purely platonic.

“Travis and Taylor have a deep mutual respect and admiration for each other,” a source told Entertainment Weekly. “But at this point, there’s nothing romantic going on between them.”

While fans continue to speculate about their relationship status, Kelce made headlines this week with candid comments during a podcast appearance. When asked about his current dating life and what he’s looking for, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end revealed he’s now more interested in dating someone younger.

“I’m in a different phase in life,” Kelce admitted. “I’m open to someone a bit younger—someone who’s got fresh energy and is figuring life out in a fun way. It’s about connection more than anything else.”

The statement quickly stirred social media chatter, especially in light of his recent history with Swift, who is only a few months older than Kelce. Fans are divided—some expressing disappointment, while others support the idea of the two stars simply remaining friends.

Both Kelce and Swift have busy careers ahead. Swift is currently in the middle of her record-breaking Eras Tour, while Kelce gears up for another NFL season, with the Chiefs eyeing another Super Bowl run.

Whether or not the door to romance is completely closed, it seems for now, the two are content maintaining a respectful friendship—one that continues to capture public fascination.
