Ravens coach John Harbaugh hopes Travis Kelce proposes to Taylor Swift and retires from the NFL ‘pretty soon’
The longtime Ravens coach admitted he’s crossing his fingers the Kansas City Chiefs player ties the knot, and has kids, with the pop superstar so that he’ll hang up his jersey ‘pretty soon.’
‘I hope they get married,’ Harbaugh told Us Weekly on Wednesday.
‘I hope they have a bunch of kids. Heck, maybe he’ll get ready to retire here pretty soon to pursue that family aspect of his life. I would encourage that,’ he added.
The 61-year-old noted that he’s ‘rooting’ for Kelce and Swift, describing their high-profile, whirlwind romance as the ‘coolest thing ever.’
Baltimore’s Super Bowl hopes were dashed by the Chiefs last season when Kelce’s team defeated them in the conference championships.
The two teams will kick off the 2024-25 regular season on Sept. 5 when they go head-to-head in Kansas City.
Harbaugh, however, may need to wait a while longer for Kelce’s retirement, as it was recently reported that he has no plans to pop the question.
‘Travis has no plans on proposing to Taylor,’ an insider told Us Weekly earlier this month.
‘It’s not even on his radar. Marriage is something he takes very seriously and not something he would ever just jump into without giving it some careful consideration,’ they went on.
A separate source said the athlete ‘cares very deeply’ about the Love Story singer but ‘he’s just not there yet’ when it comes to popping the question.
Swift became a staple at Kelce’s games last season, cheering him on almost every week while on a break from her blockbuster Eras Tour.
The 14-time Grammy winner is currently on the European leg of her tour, however she has a break throughout September before her North American shows resume in October.
Football has played a central role in the couple’s relationship, which was made public when she attended the Chiefs’ matchup against the Bears last September.
She even jetted back to the US from Japan to support her boyfriend when he won his third Super Bowl ring in Las Vegas in February.
