Watch: Kylie Kelce Shares Her Kids' Reaction to Travis Kelce, Taylor Swift EngagementKylie Kelce needs everyone to calm down. After fans questioned her initial silence following the news of her brother-in-law Travis Kelce's engagement to Taylor Swift, the mother-of-four kept it real. "I have made a very conscious effort to not discuss Taylor and Travis on this podcast," Kylie said on the Sept. 11 episode of her Not Gonna Lie podcast. "Because news outlets, tabloids and AI-quite frankly-like to post only the quotes that they grab from whatever I say in reference to them." The 33-year-old-who married Travis' older brother Jason Kelce in 2018-emphasized that because she knows both Taylor and Travis in real life, there's no need for public statements. "I don't need to come out here and make statements when I already talked to them," she said. "I don't need you to try and take my comments and dissect it." However, that didn't stop Kylie from celebrating the Grammy winner and tight end-who announced their engagement Aug. 26-on the next chapter of their love story.readKylie Kelce Shares Her Kids' Reaction to Travis Kelce, Taylor Swift Engagement"I am so incredibly happy for them," Kylie-who shares kids Wyatt, 5, Elliotte, 4, Bennett, 2, and Finnley, 4 months, with Jason-said. "We are so excited that they are taking this next step. The girls are so excited to get another aunt. I'm so truly happy for them and I'm so grateful that we get to welcome Taylor into our family in a more official capacity." "But it's our private relationship," she continued. "That's my brother-in-law Travis and my soon-to-be sister-in law-Taylor. So, I don't need to talk about them all the time. Our relationship is private between us. It's okay that time made it so that we didn't congratulate them in the last episode."Lisa Lake/Getty Images for Prime VideoAssuring people that Taylor and Travis got the message loud and clear-and directly-Kylie reiterated just how close their bond is away from the podcast mics. "I don't always have to comment on what they're doing in their lives," she said. "Cause I can just text them and tell them."Indeed, while Kylie-one of the many well-wishers who hit that "like" button when they revealed the news to Instagram-is happy for her expanding family, her and Jason's daughters got in on the celebration too. As Kylie gushed on Good Morning America Sept. 5, "We could not be more excited for them and what the future holds. We love love, and we love Taylor and Trav."

Fernando Leon/TAS23/Getty Images for TAS Rights ManagementJuly 2023: So, Make the Friendship BraceletsTaylor Swift and Travis Kelce's love story began in July 2023, when the singer's Eras Tour made a stop at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Mo. As a huge Swiftie, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end caught the show with hopes of giving Taylor a friendship bracelet with his number on it. However, he failed to complete the pass due to her pre-show rituals. "I was disappointed that she doesn't talk before or after her shows because she has to save her voice for the 44 songs that she sings," Travis shared on the July 26 episode of his New Heights podcast. "So, I was a little butt-hurt I didn't get to hand her one of the bracelets I made for her."JC Olivera/Getty ImagesSummer 2023: This Is Him TryingAfter publicly recounting his fumble-a move Taylor would later describe as "metal as hell"-Travis decided to shoot his shot and invite the Grammy winner to watch the Chiefs play at Arrowhead Stadium.
