Andrew Santino says Travis Kelce mentioned his plans to propose to Taylor Swift while the friends were golfing last spring.
Santino, an actor and comedian, recalled his conversation with the Kansas City Chiefs tight end during the Friday, September 12, edition of the “Pardon My Take” podcast. He said that when he last saw Kelce, “he said he was wanting to do it” — ask Swift to marry him. “We had golf together in, like, April or May. And yeah, he said he was [going to propose] but he didn’t say when.”
Santino said, “I don’t pry. It’s like that thing about the memes online where women are like, ‘You golfed with your buddy. Like, what happened with his divorce?’ We didn’t talk about it.”
When Kelce hinted at a future proposal, Santino, 41, did not press him for details.

Santino reached out to Kelce the day the engagement was announced on August 26.
“We just Facetimed him to say congrats,” he said. “And he said, ‘What’s up?’ to my pops. … My dad was like, ‘Am I goin’? Do I get an invite?’ Actually it’d be funnier if he went and I didn’t go.”

“He’s got a lot of dogs from Ohio that he’s loyal to the foil on [who] will be there for sure,” he said. “But they grew up with him and everything. You know. I’m an adult friend. That’s a different — adult friends are different. We met later in life and I’m sure when they’re going down the list, she’ll get to Santino and be like, ‘I don’t know dude.’”
Swift and Kelce, both 35, began dating in July 2023 and went public with their relationship that September. The pop star made her podcast debut on “New Heights” on August 13 and gushed about the Super Bowl champion’s lasting friendships.
