Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift
“This all started when Travis very adorably put me on blast on his podcast, which I thought was metal as hell,” she said. “We started hanging out right after that. So we actually had a significant amount of time that no one knew, which I’m grateful for, because we got to get to know each other. By the time I went to that first game, we were a couple. I think some people think that they saw our first date at that game? We would never be psychotic enough to hard launch a first date.” Swift and the 35-year-old NFL star seem to be going strong, especially after connecting with Jason and Kylie Kelce at the Chiefs vs. Bills game in Buffalo, New York, on January 21, 2024.

From meeting on Tinder in 2015 to tying the knot in 2018, Jason Kelce and wife Kylie McDevitt have proven that you really can find your soulmate on a dating app. McDevitt grew up in the suburb of Narberth just outside of Philly. She was familiar with the sports world long before meeting Kelce, having played field hockey in both high school and college.
According to Philadelphia Magazine, Kelce and McDevitt got married on April 14, 2018. They said “I do” in front of 170 guests, along with Winnie, their 120-pound Irish wolfhound. The couple now share three daughters: Wyatt Elizabeth Kelce (4), Elliotte Ray Kelce (2) and Bennett Llewellyn Kelce (11 months).

San Francisco 49ers’ quarterback Brock Purdy and his fiancée Jenna Brandt have been engaged for over a year now, which means a wedding could be right around the corner.
Although, we probably won’t know any details until after the Super Bowl LVIII, which, depending on what happens in this weekend’s NFL Conference Championships, Purdy could play in. (The 49ers will be playing against the Lions and the Chiefs will play the Ravens this Sunday, January 28.)
Like Purdy, Brandt is also familiar with the world of sports. A talented athlete in her own right, she played volleyball competitively throughout high school and university.
The couple went public about their relationship back in November 2022 and got engaged in July 2023. She recently had her bachelorette party in Colorado, where she spent the weekend with eight of her closest friends.

After graduating from Ohio State with degrees in data analytics and social sciences, Holzmacher scored a job as a data analyst for Kroger. Throughout Burrow’s football career, she has cheered him on from the sidelines and celebrated his successes with social media shoutouts.
After the Bengals scooped him up during the NFL Draft in April 2020, Holzmacher shared a series of photos dedicated to her boyfriend. “Tonight a new chapter starts for you!” she wrote in the caption. “Thankful to be by your side joe and to be a part of the past three seasons.

Jalen Hurts and Bry Burrows
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts and girlfriend Bry Burrows have had an on-again, off-again relationship for at least seven years. Apparently, they met at the University of Alabama in 2016, where both Burrows and Hurts studied, but they only made their first public appearance at the 2023 NFC Championship match.
While Burrows graduated from the University of Alabama with a Bachelor’s degree in political science, Hurts transferred to the University of Oklahoma for his last college season. Despite the distance, it is believed that the two kept in touch. Afterward, Burrows pursued a master’s degree in business administration at her alma mater. According to her Linkedin, she now works for IBM as an AI Partner in Dallas, Texas.
