Sportscaster Pat McAfee is well-versed in the latest updates and outings in Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s romance, just like Us.
“My wife is a massive fan of your lady, so I get updates on all the s—,” McAfee, 37, told Travis, 35, and brother Jason Kelce, on the Wednesday, October 16, episode of their “New Heights” podcast, referring to his wife, Samantha. “‘Here’s [them] having dinner with Wolverine and Deadpool’ and then you’re out [somewhere else]. At this point, do you still understand?”
Travis has been dating Swift, 34, since summer 2023, often making various public appearances at his Kansas City Chiefs Games and hanging out with her star-studded pals. Just this past weekend, Travis and Swift enjoyed a double date in New York City with Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds. (Reynolds, 47, plays Deadpool in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, recently starring in Deadpool & Wolverine with Hugh Jackman. The Australian actor even joined the trio at Travis’ October 2023 away Game vs. the New York Jets.)
“You can’t fathom what’s going on, so it’s just like a dream,” Travis said on Wednesday. “Like, you’re not surprised by the next thing that comes into your life. It’s crazy, it’s insane. I don’t know how I got to live this silly ass, f—ing life, man, but I am definitely fortunate for it, for sure.”
Travis has frequently been at a loss for words since he started dating Swift. (He famously mentioned their missed connection at her July 2023 concert in KC on “New Heights,” which she later heard and reached out to connect.)
“I’ve never been a man of words. Being around her, seeing how smart Taylor is, has been f—ing mind-blowing. I’m learning every day,” Travis previously gushed during a November 2023 interview with .WSJ Magazine. “Obviously, I’ve never dated anyone with that kind of aura about them … I’ve never dealt with it. But at the same time, I’m not running away from any of it.”
Deal of the Day

When she acts like that, I better not be the one acting all strange.”
After back-to-back dinner dates on Friday, October 11, and Saturday, October 12, Travis and Swift hit up the first Game of the American League Championship Series (ALCS) on Monday, October 14. The couple sat in a private box, frequently packing on the PDA.
“The whole time I’m screaming,” Travis said on Wednesday of cheering on his hometown Cleveland Guardians against the New York Yankees. “I’m in hostile territory because it’s the Bronx Bombers and I’m at the Yankees Stadium in the playoffs. I’m over here cheering for the Guards because I’m a Cleveland kid and I want to see Cleveland win a f—ing World Series.”
