Travis Kelce are not planning to get engaged anytime soon, with an insider claiming constant speculation from fans has ruined the intimate moment.
Travis’ brother Jason inadvertently fueled rumors earlier this month when he failed to push back on a reference to Taylor being his ‘sister-in-law’ during a radio appearance.
But despite the relentless chatter about wedding bells, a source close to Taylor and Travis, both 34, has dashed all hopes of the couple exchanging vows – for now.
Speaking exclusively to DailyMail.com they revealed that the non-stop speculation has ‘devalued’ any meaning from a potential engagement – adding that it would not feel ‘authentic’ if the NFL champ was to get down on one knee imminently.
‘At this point Taylor and Travis almost feel like an engagement would not feel very authentic,’ they said.
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are not planning to get engaged anytime soon despite mounting fan speculation
An insider told DailyMail.com that a proposal from Travis, 34, would not feel ‘authentic’ right now
‘Since the beginning of their relationship everyone has talked about them getting engaged and married.’
The source claimed that the couple, who met last July, have discussed tying the knot as part of their future, but are worried that the sanctity of marriage is being lost in all the fanfare around their romance.
‘People are so diehard to see Taylor with a ring on her finger and are trying to manifest and will it to happen,’ they said. ‘But imagine if you were them. How does Travis even propose at this point?
‘Of course, they have discussed a future together and marriage is a part of that.
‘But it feels like the non-stop speculation and chatter about their engagement and wedding somehow devalues the sanctity of it.’
DailyMail.com has contacted representatives for Taylor and Travis for comment.
Taylor’s legion of diehard fans have not tired of willing Travis to pop the question to their beloved songstress.
NFL insider Adam Schefter helped fuel the rumor mill when he recently dropped a major hint that Travis may well have purchased a ring.

Adam – one of the most reputable reporters in the sport – jokingly interrogated ESPN host Laura Rutledge when she reacted to news about Travis buying a racehorse with a Taylor-themed name by quipping that he is yet to buy a ring.
‘Wait, I have a question,’ he said. ‘Laura, how do you know that Travis Kelce didn’t buy an engagement ring?’
She replied: ‘I don’t know. Do you know? Are you gonna break some big news here?’
Adam paused while looking very coy before adding: ‘I’m just saying that you said he didn’t buy an engagement ring, and I’m wondering how you have that information.’
Two-time NFL champion Booger McFarland then said: ‘Woah, woah, woah… the awkward silence right there speaks volumes. Schefty do you know something? America wants to know.’
But Adam responded: ‘All I did was ask a question about how Laura knew he hasn’t bought an engagement ring. That’s all I was doing.’
More recently, Travis’s brother Jason failed to push back after Taylor was referred to as his ‘sister-in-law.’

‘Jason, your future sister-in-law had a bunch of wins last night with the [Video Music Awards],’ the retired Eagles center was asked on Philadelphia’s 94WIP Morning Show.
By not objecting to that description of Swift, Jason inadvertently launched more marriage speculation for his brother and his girlfriend.
‘No correction?’ one commenter wondered on X. ‘Hmmmm……’
Jason went on to shower the Cruel Summer singer with praise after she won seven VMA awards last week.
‘All, obviously, very, very deserved,’ Jason said. ‘She is just so talented it’s ridiculous, not only as a singer, songwriter, but production-wise, she’s so involved in every facet of it.’
Taylor has reprised her role as cheerleader at Travis’ games, avidly watching him battle to retain the Chiefs Super Bowl title since the new season kicked off earlier this month.
Swift has been publicly dating the tight end since last September, when she attended a game in Kansas City against the Chicago Bears.
