Sports podcaster Bill Simmons has ignited speculation surrounding a potential pregnancy involving pop star Taylor Swift and her fiancé, NFL player Travis Kelce. During a recent episode of his podcast, Simmons made a remark that suggested Kelce is “having a kid with her.” This comment, while not substantiated, has raised eyebrows among fans and listeners, particularly as it coincided with Kelce’s team, the Kansas City Chiefs, being eliminated from playoff contention following a loss to the Tennessee Titans on December 3, 2023.
Simmons’s comments came as part of a broader critique of Kelce’s performance and situation. He expressed sympathy for the athlete, who he described as a “Hall of Famer,” engaged to Swift, and living a life with considerable privileges, including private flights and security. “Guy’s a Hall of Famer, he’s getting married to Taylor Swift, having a kid with her, probably flies everywhere private,” Simmons stated. He then urged Kelce to consider stepping away from the game early, suggesting he should “fake an injury” to avoid potential harm.
This assertion has not gone without scrutiny. Fans took to social media, with one user on X commenting, “I love that he knows that she’s pregnant but isn’t sure if he flies private or not LOL.” The skepticism highlights the speculative nature of Simmons’s remarks.
Earlier in August, a source informed Us Weekly that both Swift and Kelce, who are both 36 years old, might not delay their plans to start a family following their engagement. The source indicated that Swift is in a positive phase in her career, allowing her the flexibility to take time for personal matters. “They absolutely want to welcome children together,” the insider shared.
As rumors of retirement circulate around Kelce, he addressed this speculation in a press conference on December 1, 2023. He emphasized his focus on the remaining games of the season, stating, “I’d rather keep the focus on this team, right now.” Kelce acknowledged the significance of the current phase in his life, noting, “It’s a unique time in my life. I’ve got three games left and I know when the season ends.”
While Simmons’s comments have stirred excitement and curiosity, both he and Swift’s representatives have not responded to requests for comment regarding the pregnancy rumors. The dynamics between the couple and their plans for the future continue to attract attention, both in sports and entertainment circles.
