Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s marriage proved to be one of the big events of the year, even if many people didn’t know it happened until after the fact. However, many fans are curious about what happens next. In particular, many are wondering about Kelce retiring from the Kansas City Chiefs.
Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce Were Married Earlier This Month At Madison Square Garden
Swift and Kelce married on July 3, 2026, in a star-studded ceremony at New York City’s Madison Square Garden. Famously, the event was kept top secret, with the couple’s marriage being announced only hours after Swift and Kelce tied the knot.
Since then, various outlets and figures in the media have weighed in on the ceremony. However, the real question for a lot of fans is what happens next. In particular, many are wondering if he will still remain with the Kansas City Chiefs.
Of course, this talk had been going on long before Kelce’s marriage to Swift. As Kelce is turning 37 by the upcoming season, he will be close to the age at which many NFL players in his position retire. Now that he is married, many fans think he would also spend time away from the game to be with his new wife.
However, Travis proved these rumors wrong by signing a new contract with the Chiefs for the upcoming season. He added that he would return for at least one year. However, the contract leaves open the possibility of playing for two more seasons.

Earlier this year, Kelce weighed in on the decision while on The Pat McAfee Show. He shared, “Let’s go! Making another run at it, baby, and the Chiefs are making moves, Pat.” Some fans might suspect that his marriage to Swift could impact things. However, Kelce already gave fans an answer of sorts.
At the time, Kelce emphasized that he had Swift’s support. He shared, “We share the same love for what we do, and we’ve had this…desire.” Hed added, “I’m still in love with this game.”

Kelce continued, “I still love going to work, putting on the pads, grinding it out and just playing the game, you know, and I think my best opportunity was playing for the Chiefs yet again and running this thing back with Pat Mahomes and Coach Reid. And got my guy Eric Bieniemy, Coach Bieniemy, back, and there’s a lot of pieces in Kansas City that I just I absolutely love and I can’t wait to get back in the building with.”
This also comes out after Page Six confirmed an update of sorts in Kelce and Swift’s family: a shared pet. Reportedly, the two have shared a dog for “close to a year” and are “very happy” about their fur baby. Reportedly, the dog is a Samoyed breed.
