Football and pop music fans alike have talked about Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift during the couple’s first year of dating. While Travis and Swift seem like an unlikely duo, they fell hard and fast in love. Now, fans anxiously await news of a future engagement. Here’s what betting experts say about who Travis will almost certainly choose as the best man for his wedding to Swift.

Travis Kelce has a 96% chance of choosing his brother, Jason Kelce, as his best man

Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift seem to be inching closer to an engagement. The couple took their romance public in September 2023 when Swift attended a Kansas City Chiefs game. Since then, Travis and Swift have been going strong, with Travis appearing on multiple legs of Swift’s “Eras Tour.”

Fans expect Travis to pop the question to Swift at any moment. While the couple has been dating for less than a year, they seem more serious than Swift appeared with Joe Alwyn after their six-year romance. So, if Travis and Swift get married, who will he choose as his best man?

Betting experts from Sportscasting.com say Travis has a 96.15% chance of choosing his brother, Jason Kelce, as his best man. Jason chose Travis as his best man for his 2018 wedding to Kylie Kelce. The experts noted that Aric Jones, Travis’s childhood friend, has a 6.7% chance of being the best man. The Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has a 5.9% chance.

“Jason Kelce will have to start preparing his best man’s speech ahead of an expected Taylor Swift wedding to his brother Travis, with the betting experts giving him a massive 96% chance of landing the role,” Sportscasting spokesman Andy Newton said.

It’s unclear if Travis and Jason Kelce have discussed Travis proposing to Taylor Swift. Regardless, Shaquille O’Neal and film producer Adam Lefkoe teased Jason about writing a best man speech on The Big Podcast.

“How nervous are you about this speech?” Lefkoe asked Jason.

“What speech?” Jason asked.

“The best man speech,” Lefkoe answered.

Jason didn’t immediately answer, though he did laugh. “I didn’t know if you were going retirement there …,” he said.

“It’s going to be Travis and Taylor, right?” Lefkoe pressed. “Oh man, everyone’s going to be focused [on it], bro.”

Jason continued to evade the question and didn’t give the podcasters any clue as to whether Travis had plans to propose.

When will Travis Kelce propose? Experts predict before the next Super Bowl in 2025

So, when will Travis Kelce get down on one knee for Taylor Swift? Betting experts from Sportscasting predict there’s a 63% chance it could happen before the next Super Bowl in February 2025. They predicted an even higher probability (66.7% chance) of Travis proposing before 2024 ends.

“Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are the hottest celebrity couple on the planet, and with their first anniversary looming in September, many (including the bookies) are predicting the pair to honor the timeline by getting engaged before 2024 is out,” Sportscasting spokesman Andy Newton said.

Additional sources claim Travis “isn’t there yet” regarding an engagement. “Travis has no plans on proposing to Taylor anytime soon,” an insider told Us Weekly in May 2024. “It’s not even on his radar. Marriage is something he takes very seriously and not something he would ever just jump into without giving it some careful consideration.”
