Travis Kelce shares the significant rationale behind his marriage to Taylor Swift

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce arrived in Los Angeles over the weekend after secretly spending a week in the Bahamas. The pair is keeping a low profile during Swift’s tour break and Kelce’s NFL off-season, though a source spoke to Entertainment Tonight about how things are going for them—and where the couple sees their relationship headed.

Taylor and Travis are soaking up their downtime together,” the source said. “They are appreciating the here and now and the love they share with one other. When they’re able to just chill out, they love to hang out with their friends and family, travel, see new things together, and enjoy their privacy.”

“They are grateful to have each other along for the ride and advocate and support each other across the board,” the source continued. “While they’re enjoying this moment, they’re looking forward to what the future holds too. They want to continue to grow together and be happy and healthy. Their friends and family are still as supportive as ever.”

The update comes after another source told Entertainment Tonight on March 10 that Swift really appreciates Kelce’s public support of her. “She likes that Travis is so proud of her and that he isn’t afraid to show his love for her publicly,” that insider said. “She is in a great place and having the best time performing, making music, and feeling free to live her life more openly.

Travis is enjoying being on tour with Taylor and is happy to support her.” The source added that “Taylor views Travis as a true partner and someone she can have a real future with.”

Swift explained why she values being in a public relationship with Kelce during her December Time interview. “When you say a relationship is public, that means I’m going to see him do what he loves, we’re showing up for each other, other people are there, and we don’t care,” she said. “

The opposite of that is you have to go to an extreme amount of effort to make sure no one knows that you’re seeing someone. And we’re just proud of each other.”

Swift also added that she is less concerned about the attention she generally generates. “Over the years, I’ve learned I don’t have the time or bandwidth to get pressed about things that don’t matter,” she said. “Yes, if I go out to dinner, there’s going to be a whole chaotic situation outside the restaurant. But I still want to go to dinner with my friends.”

“Life is short,” she continued. “Have adventures. Me locking myself away in my house for a lot of years—I’ll never get that time back. I’m more trusting now than I was six years ago.”
