Dave Portnoy predicts that Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce will be engaged ‘within a year’.

Dave Portnoy believes Taylor Swift will “just say yes” to a Travis Kelce proposal — and soon. The Barstool Sports founder predicted on Wednesday’s “Call Her Daddy” episode that the couple will get engaged “within a year.” Portnoy, 47, also joked to podcast host Alex Cooper that they should name their future child Aimee after Swift’s recent Kim Kardashian diss on her “The Tortured Poets Department” album. As for Portnoy’s real baby names guesses, he said he could see Kelce and Swift, both 34, honoring Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes. Portnoy, an outspoken Swiftie, has been vocal about his mixed feelings for the pairing since before their romance went public last year.

He first reacted to dating rumors in a September 2023 Instagram Story video.

While Portnoy admitted Kelce was not his “first choice” for the Grammy winner to spend her life with, he acknowledged that Swift was “allowed to have fun.” Later that same month, he claimed that the NFL player was playing into the speculation for “clout.” His “BFFs” podcast co-host Brianna Chickenfry called Swift and Kelce’s connection “performative” in a November 2023 episode.

I feel like the more they do s–t … I think it’s fake,” she said at the time. “They’re doing it for the cameras, no?” Although Kelce has not publicly shared his plans to get down on one knee, he did joke about how he couldn’t wait to get a “lab-grown diamond” in a March episode of his “New Heights” podcast. Sources told Page Six in January that the duo plan to get engaged this summer.

As for Portnoy’s own relationship status, the businessman is still legally married to his estranged wife, Renee Portnoy. Last month, he was caught on camera enjoying a date night at a Boston Celtics game with Camryn D’Aloia. Cooper, 29, told her listeners on Wednesday that Dave brought the 25-year-old to the interview — although he later insisted he does not currently “have a girlfriend.
