Travis Kelce, 35, melted hearts with his response at the American Century Championship golf tournament on Saturday, July 12. While walking between tees with his brother Jason Kelce, a fan shouted out, “You have the best girlfriend in the world!”
Travis didn’t miss a beat. In a video shared on X, He smiled, looked back, and replied, “Good point.” It was a short moment, but it said everything fans love about the couple’s down-to-earth dynamic.
Travis Kelce Reveals How His Love Story With Taylor Swift Began
Kelce and Swift’s romance began in the summer of 2023, after a now-famous missed opportunity at one of her Eras Tour shows in Kansas City. He later told the story on the New Heights podcast he co-hosts with Jason, revealing that he tried to meet her after the concert — and failed.
But Swift reached out privately soon after. “We started hanging out right after that,” Swift told TIME in December 2023. “We actually had a significant amount of time that no one knew, which I’m grateful for, because we got to get to know each other.”

“By the time I went to that first game, we were a couple,” Swift told TIME in 2023. “I think some people think that they saw our first date at that game? We would never be psychotic enough to hard launch a first date.”
She added, “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, and we don’t care if other people are there.”
What Travis Says About Taylor: “It’s Mind-Blowing”

He continued: “She gets scrutinized every day, and she’s just living and enjoying life. When she acts like that, I better not be the one acting all strange.”
While they’ve both been busy on huge stages — from Swift’s Eras Tour to Kelce’s Super Bowl wins — the couple has recently stepped back from the spotlight.

From fan interactions to stadium sightings, the couple continues to prove that even under a microscope, their bond is real — and grounded in respect, support, and humor.
