Travis Kelce just told us how he fell in love with Taylor Swift. It's the most candid he's been.

Travis Kelce has given a rare glimpse into his relationship with Taylor Swift, and our hearts are melting.

In a lengthy profile with GQ Magazine, Kelce shared with fans how their romance blossomed in the early days.

"It happened very organically even though from a media standpoint it was being tracked," the NFL star said.

They're just a coupla kids in love over here.

"Whenever I'm with her, it feels like we're just regular people," he said.

"When there is not a camera on us, we're just two people that are in love."

Swift and Kelce first went public with their romance in September 2023 when the singer was spotted cheering him on during a home game for the Kansas City Chiefs. Since then, they've been joined at the hip, making several loved-up public appearances.

Kelce knows that the world is watching on, chiming in with their takes about what's real and what's for publicity. But he doesn't care. He knows what's true in their hearts.

"Nothing I've ever done has been a controlled, organised process," he said.

"When I say it was so organic, we fell in love just based off the people we were sitting in a room together with.

"We are two fun-loving people who have the morals to appreciate everyone for who they are. We share all those values. It kind of just took the f*** off."

Dating one of the world's biggest pop stars often means taking the backseat to your partner's fame — and that's fine by Kelce. In fact, he loves getting to be "the plus one".

"I get to go and be that fan. Because I am a fan," he said,

"And it's so cool that I get to experience her being that plus one for me on the football field…. I feel that same enjoyment every time she comes to my shows."

Kelce told GQ that soon after meeting, they realised what they have in common — that they both entertain sold-out stadiums. It's a unique experience that helps them truly understand one another.

"I hadn't experienced somebody in the same shoes as me, having a partner who understands the scrutiny, understands the ups and downs of being in front of millions," he said.

"She may not think of herself as an athlete. She will never tell anyone that she is an athlete. But I've seen what she goes through. I've seen the amount of work that she puts on her body, and it's mind-blowing."

In the profile, writer Sean Manning observed Kelce talks about Swift freely, "with the confident adoration of a sturdy relationship, and with obvious pride. Not macho pride in his having attained the seemingly unattainable, or the overprotective possessiveness so often confused for chivalry."

It paints the picture of someone who just really loves his partner — and if that isn't relationship goals, then I don't know what is.

The interview dropped just hours after Swift revealed she was releasing her 12th studio album, The Life of a Showgirl. She just about broke the internet when a countdown clock started ticking on her website.

When the timer hit zero, Swift appeared in a teaser for Kelce's New Heights podcast this week.

"So I wanted to show you something… This is my brand-new album, The Life of a Showgirl," Swift said, holding up a blurred out album as Kelce chimed in, "TS12!"

Nothing says "I'm sure my partner's 'the one'" like choosing to announce your next album on your boyfriend's sports podcast.
