‘You’ve Gotta Know Your Gal’

Travis Kelce’s advice for people looking to pop the question? Know your own love story!

On the Sept. 3 episode of his New Heights podcast, the 35-year-old NFL star shared his thoughts on asking your significant other to marry you one week after he and fiancée, Taylor Swift, announce their engagement. 

Kelce got down on one knee to the “So High School” singer in a rose and floral-filled garden in his own Kansas City backyard, sharing the romantic photos on Instagram. 

“Man, you’ve gotta know your gal. You’ve gotta know your gal or your significant other. You’ve gotta know them,” Kelce shared when asked for advice. “You can’t let how somebody else does it make you feel like you need to do it that way.”

Travis’ older brother, Jason Kelce, adamantly agreed with him, adding, “You can’t read about it in a Cosmopolitan magazine and expect they’re gonna know your person. You gotta know your person.”

The Kansas City Chiefs tight end replied, “You might be able to get some ideas from how other people did it,” but Jason, 37, who married Kylie Kelce in 2018, disagreed, saying, “F— that, f— those other people.”

“Yeah, I hear you. It might get the creative juices going,” Travis clarified. “I would just say know your partner, know who you’re doing it for and do it for the right reasons and everything else will be beautiful.”

Later in the episode, the brothers announced that their producer Brandon Borders, who they refer to as “Intern Brandon” had also recently gotten engaged, popping the question on one knee in the ocean. 

“I once thought I would do it on water, but you did it,” Travis shared. 

“Holding the ring while kicking your little feet, trying to fight the current, terrible idea, don’t recommend it,” Brandon quipped during the episode. “That’s my advice if you’re popping the question. That’s the most athletic thing I’ve ever done in my life.”

Earlier in the episode, Travis thanked everyone for the love he received following the couple’s exciting news as he broke his silence on what Jason previously called “the proposal heard ‘round the world.”

“I appreciate everybody that reached out and sent something and all the posts and all the excitement that’s been going on,” he said. “It’s been really fun telling everybody who I’m going to be spending the rest of my life with.” 

Of calling Swift by her new title of “fiancée,” Travis added, “Yeah, I do. I still get giddy, exciting times.” 

Travis and Swift, 35, announced their engagement on Aug. 26, with the joint Instagram post so far gaining over 36 million likes.
