An unsubstantiated rumor regarding Taylor Swift’s personal life gained massive traction this week after a remark by sports media analyst Bill Simmons suggested the pop star is pregnant with fiancé Travis Kelce’s child. The comment was made on Simmons’ live podcast as he reacted to the Kansas City Chiefs’ recent loss and urged Kelce, the team’s tight end, to focus on his future.
Simmons remarked that Kelce is a Hall of Famer who is “getting married to Taylor Swift, having a kid with her,” instantly transforming a routine sports commentary segment into a worldwide celebrity news story, despite the complete lack of official confirmation from Swift, Kelce or their representatives.
While many fans and analysts have treated the comment as careless speculation about the couple’s long-term family plans, the definitive phrasing — “having a kid with her” — has sparked questions about whether the well-connected analyst inadvertently shared private information.
Until Swift or Kelce choose to address the matter, the high-profile pregnancy claim remains purely a rumor. Here’s what to know about the situation.

“It was officially a 'feel bad for Kelce," Simmons said. "Guy's a Hall of Famer, he's getting married to Taylor Swift, having a kid with her, probably flies everywhere private, has private security everywhere he goes. And he's just kind of running around this f***ing Titans game, trying not to get hurt. Fake an injury. Just fake an injury and end the thing.”
The claim that they are "having a kid with her" is what sparked the intense reaction and rumors.
