The buzz began to gain momentum in September 2023 when an anonymous source got here forward confirmed their “connection” to US Weekly, citing “great chemistry,” but adding, “There’s nothing official, so they can both date other people.” The Baltimore Ravens wide receiver and his longtime model Lauren Wood, with whom he has a son, recently split.
Meanwhile, Kardashian’s relationship together with her “Saturday Night Live” alum Pete Davidson has been under the microscope for nine months, which can explain why she’s following Taylor Swift’s playbook and trying to keep a low profile.
“Obviously you learn something from every situation, and the one thing I learned from the (last) situation was that the media made me feel like I was in a very serious relationship so quickly,” Kardashian said of her collaboration with Davidson, per People. “I just want to sneak in a little. There’s nothing wrong with wanting to be sneaky!”
When Kardashian and Beckham appeared in Usher’s celebrity-filled video wherein they teased his Super Bowl halftime show, it was seen as one other indication that love was in the air.
Fans couldn’t help but notice that while she was dancing, they were each wearing black leather appeared silently for a significant event: his thirty first birthday on November 8, 2023. The couple continued to keep things quiet as they attended the Super Bowl party together at The Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas on February 10, 2024, together with famous friends Justin Bieber, Hailey Bieber and Nina Dobrev. TMZ I grabbed a polite hug on video, but there have been still no definitive public signs of a romance, although they were spotted together at the Wynn Hotel later that evening.
What might have been real flirtation was captured on grainy film via TMZ (though still without kissing) at Jay Z and Beyonce’s Oscars after-party at Hollywood’s Chateau Marmont, which led to further speculation that they were a pair. But we will at all times depend on our fans to check us in point of fact.

Swift and Kelce dating rumors surfaced in July 2023, after the NFL star attended a stop on her Eras Tour. Within a couple of months, shocking facts about their relationship got here to light. He confessed to his brother “New Highs with Jason and Travis Kelce” podcast, during which he unsuccessfully tried to get the “Shake It Off” singer’s phone number or give her a private gift.
“I was disappointed that he doesn’t speak before or after his performances because he has to save his voice for the 44 songs he sings,” Travis said. “If you go to Taylor Swift concerts, there are friendship bracelets there, and I received a few there, but I wanted to give Taylor Swift one with my number on it.”
Does anyone know the way to get the bracelet @taylorswift13? …I’m asking a few friend 😅 @BWWings

In September, an ESPN and NFL analyst later mentioned the “Chasing Kelce” star’s relationship rumors. Later that month, Jason apparently confirmed the news, stating, “I think they’re doing great and I think it’s all 100% true and I hope it goes further – no, I’m kidding, I don’t know what’s going on an event is happening.”
This prompted Travis to reveal that he had personally invited Swift to watch him play at Arrowhead Stadium. This month’s photos show the Grammy-winning artist in his suite during the Kansas City Chiefs’ game against the Chicago Bears. In the viral video, she could be seen wearing a red and white Chiefs jacket, cheering and clapping alongside Kelce’s mother, Donna Kelce.
From there, outlets began keeping a detailed eye on Swift, who a month later was spotted at one other game, drinking with Travis’ friends and family, and also made a surprise appearance on “Saturday Night Live” in New York. He attacked several media outlets for “overdo it”they reported it from the match, not from the match itself.
“The Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce news is a pop culture moment that we tapped into in real time because it’s the intersection of sports and entertainment, and we’ve seen an incredible amount of positivity around sports,” the article reads statement from NFL to People.
Since then, Swift has been consistently talked about at every match she attends. They were seen kissing in photos on IG while on vacation in Argentina, and Travis was also spotted at other stops during her Eras tour. She also supported Travis after his 2024 AFC Championship and Super Bowl wins with an enormous kiss on the field.
Kansas City Chiefs linebackers coach Dave Merritt suggested that the media attention modified Travis for the higher and helped the team win the game. “Everyone was excited that Travis was happy. So when my player, my brother, is happy by my side, it helps me and encourages me. And so Travis came in as a different man, so she helped us,” he said in an interview on “The Sports Shop With Reese & Kmac.”
Many people wondered whether Kim and Odell should call Khloé Kardashian since she was romantically linked to her sister’s potential latest lover in 2016. Rumor has it that Khloé gave Kim her blessing to work with Beckham.
Even die-hard Swifties do not feel this manner and change into territorial as one he wrote on X: “Kim, you’ll never be Taylor, and hasn’t he already fucked your sister?”
