Travis Kelce jokes about Prince William's selfie comments and hopes his marriage stays strong
Travis Kelke responded to Prince William's remarks about a 2024 selfie with Taylor Swift, saying he hopes his relationship with Swift does not deteriorate.
Travis Kelce addressed Prince William's comments about a 2024 Instagram selfie that featured the royal family and Swift. The future king said on a talk show that he initially did not grasp the photo's significance and tried to move Kelce out of the frame so it would show only him, Swift and the children.
Kelce, speaking on the New Heights podcast with his brother Jason, said he understood the reaction and joked that he hopes his and Swift's marriage "doesn't go south" for William's sake. He added that at the time of the photo he was still just Swift's boyfriend and that the couple's relationship was still new.
"I get it, man. I think we all get it," Kelce said. "I was just a boyfriend at that point. You know? I wasn't her husband yet. We don't really know if this is gonna last, so it's kinda just move out of the way real quick so we can keep this photo forever."
He concluded with a friendly nod to the prince, saying, "Shout out to Prince William, man."
The selfie was taken in June 2024 during Swift's eight-night Wembley Stadium shows on her Eras Tour, marking the first publicly shared picture of the couple together. The image quickly attracted widespread attention online. Prince William had previously met Swift at a 2013 charity gala, recalling the encounter as unexpected.
Kelce and Swift began dating in the summer of 2023 and made their public debut in September when Swift attended a Kansas City Chiefs game with Kelce's family.
