Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce Confirm Engagement After Secret Two-Week Celebration

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have been engaged for a fortnight, it has been revealed

Taylor Swift and fiancé Travis Kelce have officially announced their engagement after keeping the news private for two weeks. The Kansas City Chiefs star proposed with a diamond ring estimated to be worth $1 million, following months of preparation to design the perfect piece.

The couple revealed their engagement on Instagram, sharing photos of Kelce on one knee presenting the sparkly ring to Swift. The 35-year-old tight end co-designed the band with renowned Parisian designer Kindred Lubeck, collaborating on a one-of-a-kind creation. The ring, sourced from Artifex Fine Jewelry, features an old mine brilliant-cut diamond, a style popular in the 18th and 19th centuries, known for its cushion shape, rounded corners, and distinctive chunky facets.

Kelce’s father, Ed Kelce, confirmed that the proposal took place in a flower-adorned garden in Lee’s Summit, Missouri, near the NFL star’s $6 million mansion in Leawood, Kansas. He described how Travis asked Taylor to join him for a glass of wine before dropping to one knee. “It was beautiful,” he said, adding that he had advised his son not to overcomplicate the moment: “When you get down on one knee and ask her to marry you, that’s all that matters.”

The couple, who began dating in 2023, have reportedly been enjoying a private celebration for the past fortnight. Ed shared that both families learned of the engagement on a joint Facetime call with Travis’ mother, Donna, and Taylor’s parents.

Fans had long speculated about an engagement, noting Kelce’s search for a ring had included more than 40 store visits and 100 virtual consultations with jewelry experts. Swift, 35, who has won multiple Grammy Awards, was photographed wearing the unique piece in a series of high-production engagement photos, captioned with humor: “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married.”

Celebrity supporters, including members of the British royal family, have congratulated the pair. While the Instagram post had comments turned off, fans flooded X (formerly Twitter) to celebrate the milestone.

Wedding plans are reportedly underway, with Lake Como, Italy, emerging as a top choice for the ceremony. According to sources, the couple envisions an intimate celebration with no more than 100 guests. The wedding may take place either after the upcoming NFL season or in the summer of 2026. Kelce is also said to be considering retirement at the end of this football season, with hopes of starting a family with Swift by late 2026 or early 2027.
