There was a time when Travis Kelce wasn’t interested in talking about his personal life, but no more. He’s the cover star of WSJ Magazine’s new issue and he’s spilling tea about being Taylor Swift’s new man.

“Obviously I’ve never dated anyone with that kind of aura about them…. I’ve never dealt with it,” Kelce told the publication of Swift’s life in the spotlight. “But at the same time, I’m not running away from any of it…. The scrutiny she gets, how much she has a magnifying glᴀss on her, every single day, paparazzi outside her house, outside every restaurant she goes to, after every flight she gets off, and she’s just living, enjoying life. When she acts like that I better not be the one acting all strange.”They share similar world views, he said, including when it comes to family.

“Everybody knows I’m a family guy,” Kelce said. “Her team is her family. Her family does a lot of stuff in terms of the tour, the marketing, being around, so I think she has a lot of those values as well, which is right up my alley.”

It turns out Team Swift was instrumental in getting the two together after he publicly shared he was trying to get his phone number to her via friendship bracelet.

“There were definitely people she knew that knew who I was, in her corner [who said]: Yo! Did you know he was coming? I had somebody playing Cupid,” he recalled. “She told me exactly what was going on and how I got lucky enough to get her to reach out.”
