Rob Gronkowski is extremely excited about Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's relationship, expressing his admiration for Kelce's accomplishments and desirability. In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, the former NFL star, 34, shared his thoughts on Kelce's seven consecutive 1,000-yard seasons, highlighting how impressive this feat is even for wide receivers. Gronkowski believes that Kelce deserves all the success and attention he has received, including endorsements, and praises his attractiveness, stating that he deserves to be with any woman he desires.
Gronkowski and Kelce, both 34, have been friends for a few years. However, they truly bonded in 2022, the same year Gronkowski retired from football. The former Tampa Bay Buccaneers star, who has been dating model Camille Kostek since 2015, praised Kelce's dancing skills and commended his performance both on and off the field. In a separate incident, Kelce invited Swift, 33, to a Chiefs football game earlier this year, after he missed the opportunity to give her a friendship bracelet with his number on it during her Kansas City concert in July. Swift accepted the invitation and attended the team's match against the Chicago Bears on September 24, which subsequently sparked rumors of a romantic relationship.
Swift attended two additional games, one in New Jersey and one in Kansas City, before publicly announcing her relationship with Kelce during the October 14 premiere of Saturday Night Live season 49. The couple was spotted holding hands while enjoying a dinner date the following night.
Making her most recent NFL appearance, Swift attended the Chiefs' game against the Los Angeles Chargers on October 22. Not only did she wear the team's merchandise, but she also accessorized with a friendship bracelet showcasing Kelce's jersey number, 87. Alongside Brittany Mahomes, the wife of Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, Swift enthusiastically cheered on their partners and even showcased a special touchdown handshake.
