• READ MORE: Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce take their relationship to the next level

Travis Kelce could be set to tie the knot with Taylor Swift as early as this year. That’s according to an NFL legend.

The Kansas City Chiefs star and pop megastar have taken the NFL and pop culture worlds by storm over the past 18 months, dazzling fans with their jet-setting, high-profile love story.

Now, Adam ‘Pacman’ Jones, 41, has hinted that the two are ready to take their relationship to the next level: Marriage.

The former Cincinnati Bengals star and is already picturing the A-List couple’s happily ever after following just 18 months of dating.

‘I’m thinking this year they are going to get married or after football. Of course, they are going to be together,’ the Pro-Bowler told the US Mirror.

‘They have got enough money to take each other’s money. But I do see love there. So I do see a baby and everything.’

The former cornerback, who knows Kelce from their days in Cincinnati – the Chiefs star at the University of Cincinnati and Jones with the Bengals – vouched for the authenticity of the relationship following many unfounded claims of it being the result a PR stunt.

‘I think they are in a real relationship. I know Trav, because he went to UC. His love [is genuine]. When he says he is with somebody, he is with somebody.’

Jones went on to liken the three-time Super Bowl winner’s romance with the pop sensation to his previous relationships, suggesting it proves their love is the real deal.

‘With the other young lady he was with, he was with her, and he found something better and moved on. But I believe Travis a hundred percent,’ Jones added.

Kelce was previously romantically involved with model and influencer Kayla Nicole with the couple dating on and off for around five years before calling it quits in 2023.

Speculation over an engagement swirled over the holiday period when the songstress, who wrapped up her Eras Tour on December 8, made her return to Kansas City.

Eagle-eyed Swifties claimed a ring had been edited out of a certain photo from an Eras Tour-themed party thrown by Kelce in Swift’s honor in December.

Swift and Kelce did not spend Christmas together, as Kelce was in Pittsburgh for Kansas City’s game against the Steelers.

The pop megastar, who has not attended a Chiefs road game this season, was nowhere to be seen as Kelce and Kansas City secured the top playoff seed in Pittsburgh.

However, they are believed to have rung in the New Year together in Kansas City, reportedly sharing a romantic kiss at midnight.

Plenty of speculation exists as to where Swift and Kelce will stand for next New Year’s Eve.

Both are 35 and Kelce has toyed with the idea of retirement from the NFL. Many others, like Jones, expect the duo to get engaged before the 2025 league season begins.
