Travis Kelce's Neighbor Backtracks on Taylor Swift Romance Claims!

Wes Bergmann is calling time out on his past comments.

About a month after the actor from “The Traitors” disclosed that he was one of the first to learn about Travis Kelce’s relationship with Taylor Swift, he is now clarifying the situation.

On the 4th of March, Wes posted on a platform that used to be known as Twitter, “I’m truly sorry and perplexed, folks. The information being circulated isn’t my concern. My remark, which I thought was made in private, was misconstrued and unfortunately didn’t stay that way.

The reality star, who spoke about this on The Social Game podcast with Michele Fitzgerald and Kellie Nalbandian in February, clarified further. “I informed Michele, a big fan of mine, that this was no joke. She didn’t believe me for half a year. That was the purpose behind my statement.

While asserting that his comments were misconstrued, he additionally acknowledged, “I probably shouldn’t have brought up the topic at all. Thus, this will be the final time I discuss it.

After Wes shared with his co-hosts that he had known the football player from the Kansas City Chiefs and the “Karma” singer had been a couple for around half a year prior to her frequent appearances at their games.

In actuality, the 41-year-old mentioned that he had informed Michele about Taylor’s relationship with Travis quite some time ago, as Taylor first appeared at Arrowhead Stadium in September 2023.

Wes remembered from their chat that she found it hard to believe, instead saying something along the lines of, “She seems to favor artists.

Living next door to Travis, a former contestant on Challenge, I gained some intriguing insights about the tight end he referred to as an “enigma.

On one hand, he seems like a robust, hard-hitting footballer, thought he. But on the other hand, I suspect there will be around twelve Taylor Swift songs penned about him.

Previously, Taylor had provided insights into the timeline of her relationship with Travis, contrasting with Wes’ recent retraction of his statements about their romantic history.

This whole thing began when Travis playfully exposed me on his podcast, which I found incredibly cool. As the Grammy winner shared during her TIME Person of the Year interview in December, this occurred during their July 2023 episode of New Heights. After that, we started spending time together. Remarkably, we had a considerable period that was unknown to others, which I’m thankful for because it allowed us to grow familiar with each other.

Reflecting on him, he mused, “On one hand, he comes across as a robust, hard-hitting footballer. On the other, I can’t help but imagine a dozen heartfelt Taylor Swift ballads being penned about him.

Previously, Taylor had revealed details about the timeline of her relationship with Travis, while it was later noted that Wes withdrew his statements regarding their romantic involvement.

It began when Travis publicly mentioned me in an endearing manner on his podcast, which I found incredibly cool. As the Grammy winner shared during her TIME Person of the Year interview in December, this was during their July 2023 episode of New Heights. Following this exposure, we started spending time together. Remarkably, there was a period when our friendship was not known to the public, and I’m thankful for that privacy as it allowed us to grow closer without any external pressures.

When I attended our initial match, our relationship had already begun,” she explained. “It might seem to others like they witnessed our first date at that event, but rest assured, we wouldn’t have the audacity to stage such an event as a first date.

Despite both Taylor and Travis being private individuals, Taylor consistently demonstrates her openness regarding the NFL player.

In simpler terms, when she says a relationship is public, it means she will get to witness him enjoying his passions, they support and appear together in various settings without hiding, and they are indifferent to others knowing about their relationship. On the other hand, if a relationship is private, one must put in significant effort to keep it secret from others. They take pride in each other’s accomplishments.

Read on for a look back at Travis and Taylor’s sweet love story.

In July of 2023, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s romantic journey commenced. This was during one of Taylor’s Eras Tour performances at Arrowhead Stadium located in Kansas City, Missouri.

As a devoted fan of Taylor Swift, the tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs was excited to attend the concert, hoping to present Taylor with a friendship bracelet bearing his number. Unfortunately, he couldn’t manage to give it to her before the show because of her pre-performance rituals.

Travis explained during the July 26th episode of his New Heights podcast that he felt let down because she doesn’t chat before or after her performances, as she needs to preserve her voice for the 44 songs she sings. Consequently, he didn’t have the chance to give her one of the bracelets he crafted for her.

Following his on-stage blunder, which he would later label as “purely metal,” Travis opted to seize the moment and extend an invitation to the Grammy-winning artist to catch the Chiefs game live at Arrowhead Stadium.

He said on The Pat McAfee Show, “I suggested it, I passed the responsibility to her,” he stated. “I told her, ‘I’ve witnessed your incredible performances at Arrowhead Stadium, maybe you should come and watch me perform there too, so we can both see who puts on a more electrifying show.’ So, let’s wait and see what unfolds in the coming days.

At the time when Travis was initially presented to Taylor, he was sporting a mustache that he had grown starting from August, during training camp.

Later on, he remarked about that period, “For a while, the mustache and the number 87 were quite legendary, and I wore them when I first encountered Taylor.

According to a reliable source familiar with the matter, by early September, Travis and Taylor had been exchanging occasional texts and phone calls.

“It’s been very low-key,” the insider explained, “as he’s been in season.”

As a lifestyle expert, I gladly accepted an invitation from Travis’ mom, Donna Kelce, to join her at Arrowhead Stadium for the exciting matchup between Travis and the Chiefs against the Chicago Bears. Following the game, Travis and I shared some special moments at a local bar, making our connection publicly visible.

Initially, legend suggested they met face-to-face for the first time, but the “Karma” artist later explained that they had actually spent a substantial period developing their relationship prior to this encounter.

As Taylor noted, “We would never be psychotic enough to hard launch a first date.”

Taylor, hinting that things were becoming more serious, invited her circle of friends which included Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds, Sophie Turner, Hugh Jackman, Sabrina Carpenter, and Antoni Porowski to the game where the Chiefs battled against the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.

It’s another indication that Travis might indeed be “The One”. Taylor has been growing closer to Brittany Mahomes, who is married to Travis’ good friend and fellow NFL player Patrick Mahomes, not just during the games but also in their personal lives as well.

On October 14th, the couple unexpectedly starred in an episode of Saturday Night Live, taking their relationship to the small screen. This New York City extravaganza also encompassed the after-party for the NBC comedy series and a romantic evening at the Waverly Inn.

Over a bye-week break, I found myself journeying to Argentina to witness the South American leg of Taylor’s Eras Tour. This NFL star didn’t just attend the November 11th show in Buenos Aires; he forged a connection with Taylor’s dad, none other than Scott Swift. To top it off, he even received a heartfelt shoutout from the stage itself!

“Karma is that guy on the Chiefs,” Taylor sang, “coming straight home to me.”

Following the performance, the artist of “Midnights” was spotted rushing towards Travis in the backstage area and enthusiastically planting a heartfelt kiss on him.

Taylor addressed the lavender craze surrounding her appearances at Travis’ games.

She shared with Time magazine, “I’m going to watch him pursue his passion, and we support each other. Other people will be there too, but we don’t care about what others might think.” In contrast, if one is trying to hide a relationship, they must put in a lot of effort to ensure that it remains secret.

On December 17, the music megastar made Travis’ game a family event by inviting her father to support him.

On New Year’s Eve for the very first time, Taylor and Travis celebrated together, exchanging a loving kiss as the clock chimed midnight on January 1.

Taylor continued building relationships with Travis’ kin, spending time with his sibling, Jason Kelce, and his sister-in-law Kylie Kelce, during the Chiefs’ match against the Buffalo Bills.

Taylor met up with Travis on the football field as the Chiefs claimed the AFC Championship, a triumph guaranteeing their place in the 2024 Super Bowl. After the triumphant victory, the pair joyously kissed and expressed their love for each other by saying “I love you.

“Tay, I’m gonna enjoy with the guys,” he told her. “I love you—so much it’s not funny.”

On February 11, 2024, in Las Vegas, the victorious Kansas City Chiefs’ teammates shared a kiss on the field immediately following Travis’s leadership.

On February 12th, Taylor shared a video clip of Travis on social media for the very first time, jokingly commenting about their outing to a nightclub with the athlete following the Super Bowl, which included her parents as well.

Taylor first Instagram post with Travis showed them together, along with Prince William, Kate Middleton, their eldest children Prince George and Princess Charlotte, backstage during Taylor’s concert at Wembley Stadium in London for the Eras tour.

At the seventh stop of the Eras tour in London’s Wembley Stadium, the NFL player made an appearance on stage alongside his girlfriend, taking part as a supporting act while she sang “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart”.

I, an unapologetic fanatic, had the privilege of attending the inaugural game of the 2024-25 season for the Chief’s, and let me tell you, it was nothing short of electrifying! The energy in the stadium was palpable. It seemed like Taylor and Travis were transported back to October 2023, as they shared a heartwarming PDA moment that Chariah Gordon captured in this stunning photograph she posted. Chariah, along with her beau, Chiefs’ wide receiver Mecole Hardman, was also present, making the scene even more captivating.

The duo were present at the wedding of Karen Elson, who got married to Lee Foster, the proprietor of Electric Lady Studios, which took place in the city of New York.

The next day, the pair attended the men’s singles final match at the U.S. Open.

The two stepped out for a double dinner date with Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds in NYC.

Over the final weekend of 2024, the couple ventured out for two consecutive evenings in New York City. Notably, they coordinated their ensembles on each occasion.
