In a twist that’s straight out of a romantic comedy, NFL star Travis Kelce recently revealed that he initially planned to propose to Taylor Swift in the middle of the ocean! However, he quickly scrapped that idea after a warning from a friend.

On the latest episode of his podcast, "New Heights," Kelce opened up about the engagement, which he and Swift announced together just over a week ago. Intriguingly, the conversation turned to proposal ideas when one of the show's producers, fondly known as 'Intern Brandon,' shared his own recent engagement story.

Brandon recounted an adventurous yet chaotic proposal beneath the ocean waves, saying, "My head was bobbing in the water while I held the ring and fought against the current. Not exactly ideal!" This inspired Kelce to rethink his own watery plans. "I got warned! I thought about doing it on water, but you showed heart," he replied with a chuckle.

Switching gears, Kelce expressed how it feels to refer to Taylor as his fiancée. He admitted it makes him feel "giddy" and filled with excitement. "Thank you for the congratulations! I appreciate everyone who has reached out. It’s been such a joy sharing the news about spending my life with her," he shared passionately.

Their first public outing as an engaged couple came during a college football game at Kansas City Chiefs’ Arrowhead Stadium. Kelce excitedly introduced Swift as his fiancée to teammates, sharing, "That was a special moment for me." He reflected, "I still get giddy about it; these are thrilling times!"

His brother, Jason, chimed in, expressing eagerness to hear about their wedding plans. Kelce replied, "Oh, it’s gonna go crazy! That’s the next step." Meanwhile, the couple’s engagement moment captured the hearts of fans: Kelce proposed in his backyard, surrounded by beautiful flowers as Swift filmed her podcast appearance.

But amidst the whirlwind of romance, Kelce is focused on his NFL career. He heads to Brazil this week as the Chiefs gear up for their season opener against the Los Angeles Chargers in Sao Paulo, followed by a much-anticipated rematch with the Philadelphia Eagles back at Arrowhead Stadium.
