Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are being urged to have a child by ex-NFL players.
The couple, both 35, have been dating since the summer of 2023 and recently been at the centre of gossip they are planning to get married and start a family – and former athletes Julian Edelman and Rob Gronkowski have now shared their thoughts on the pair’s future.
Julian, 38, said in the ‘Dudes on Dudes’ podcast about the possibility of Taylor and Travis having their first child: “That would be a great kid.”
Rob, 35, added: “The kid would be performing – having eight catches a game and then doing the halftime show.”
He also speculated the scenario could take place “in, like, 24 years”.
Julian responded: “Probably sooner” – adding: “Taylor was on the scene when she was, like, 13.”
Rob added: “Their kid would be like 14 in college. Just surpassing middle school because he’s so smart. “He’ll be in the league at 18 and singing and performing at halftime.
“Dang, they need to have a kid if that’s the case.”
Julian also suggested the child could do a Quavo fashion collaboration and have a song go viral on TikTok.
Julian and Rob are not the first to discuss the idea.
In March 2024, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Harrison Butker told EWTN News in Depth he hoped the couple would “get married and start a family”.
Taylor was photographed in November 2023 holding fellow WAG Chariah Gordon’s infant daughter.
In February, Travis’ friend Adam Lefkoe recalled on the ‘Steam Room’ podcast the singer was excited to see photos of his baby when they met at an MLB game.
Travis is already an uncle to three nieces, with his brother, Jason Kelce, expecting a fourth daughter with wife Kylie Kelce.
The athlete has spoken about fatherhood, saying in March 2024, on his and Jason’s ‘New Heights’ podcast: “I can’t wait… to f****** make one” – while discussing “lab-grown” NBA players.
In November, on the ‘Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity?’ show, Travis also joked having a baby would make him “smarter”, adding: “Man, that’s all I had to do to become brilliant?”

Tennessee Baseball HC Josh Elander Hires Rival Coach
The Tennessee Volunteers have made a late-night hire, as they have gone into rival territory to bring in a coach to be an assistant with the Tennessee Volunteers. The Vols made the choice to hire Florida Gators coach Chuck Jeroloman, per Kendall Rogers. He was recently named as the interim coach after Kevin Sullivan took a leave of absence for personal reasons. He has been an assistant coach for six seasons with the Gators, and will now be on his way to Knoxville. Josh Elander and Jeroloman has been tied together through their time to TCU. Elander was a player at the time while the newest Vols coach was a coach. Elander held his press conference on Monday, which is when he discussed if he would be keeping things the same. Elander's Comments "I'm just really excited. I think there’s some firepower on the mound. I think we have a different bullpen than we did last year. Again, I think flame throwers are something we’ve always kind of hunted down in recruiting. Always been 100 mph arms. But when V and Frank and I and Ross went into the portal this year, we had to make some changes. We wanted just a little bit more balance. Maybe some lefty specialists, some cutter guys. Some different looks, whether it be different slots, whether it be high IVB guys, running heaters, sinkers, cutters. We just want to be harder to prepare for. On the pitching side, I’m so, so excited about the youth, the transfers. I think there’s a good balance. And the most exciting thing is, it’s up to them to figure out where they’re going to pitch. That’s not going to change. That’s always been the deal. Excited for the pitching staff. And offensively, clearly I’m biased, as always, on that side of the ball. But I really like this group. I think we’re dynamic, very athletic, and very versatile. So I think trust is going to be a big word as we move these guys around a little bit and figure out what positions work best, how do we mix that with talking to Stovall, whether it be matchups and analytics, and how we blend that in to how we attack each game. But also, too, just being real with the players. Make sure they understand, they know what’s going on, on the decision-making side, and they feel like they’re looped into the process. But, I’m just excited for this group and really excited to just get a little bit better each day, but I can’t wait to go to war with them this spring.” He then discussed the thought of keeping things internal. “Yeah, definitely going to lean on administration throughout this process, right? This is the first time I’ve ever done this, but my focus is to take care of the people in the building first, not worry about anything externally. I think we have some of the best people in what they do at their positions, so they need to be taken care of the right way, and that’s my main and sole focus with all the roots we have. I’m just excited because we want stability for these guys in the building.”
Nationals set to hire MLB's youngest manager in over 50 years
The Washington Nationals were one of a handful of teams heading into the offseason needing a new manager. The Nats fired former manager Dave Martinez, who helped lead them to their first World Series title in 2019, ahead of the All-Star break. They then had to decide if they wanted to keep interim manager Miguel Cairo or head in another direction. The Nationals decided to go in a different direction, announcing on Thursday that they are set to hire the youngest MLB manager in over 50 years. Nationals will hire Blake Butera to be their next manager After going 29-43 after taking over for Martinez, the Nationals decided that Cairo wasn't the man to lead them forward. Washington is hiring 33-year-old Blake Butera to be its next manager, according to ESPN’s Jeff Passan. Butera will be a new voice to pair with the new president of baseball operations, Paul Toboni, who took over for former executive Mike Rizzo. According to Passan, Butera will be the youngest manager in more than 50 years. Butera joins Oliver Marmol (39) of the St. Louis Cardinals as the only managers in baseball under 40 years old. In his four-year career as a minor league manager in the Tampa Bay Rays organization, Butera accumulated a 258-144 record. That should bode well for him going to Washington, especially after six straight losing seasons. A former 35th-round draft pick of the Rays, Butera is also a former two-time minor league Manager of the Year in the Rays organization and was the bench coach for Team Italy in the 2023 World Baseball Classic. Nationals need to give Blake Butera everything he needs to be successful Being so young and "inexperienced," Toboni and the Nationals organization will need to surround Butera with a veteran coaching staff. In particular, an experienced bench coach to help guide him through being a big league manager. Someone like former Los Angeles Angels manager Ron Washington would be a good hire to help guide Butera, given his managerial experience and longtime coaching. Coming from the Rays organization, Butera can bring over things he's learned there to help the Nationals improve as an organization. The Rays are consistently at the forefront of analytics and new, innovative ways to build a successful baseball team. Having a young roster and only two players with a decade in the big leagues (Josh Bell and Trevor Williams), Butera should find it easy to connect with some of his younger players, given his age. However, veterans may find it hard to listen to someone as inexperienced as Butera, which he’ll need to work on if the Nationals add any more to help mentor their young core.
Raiders’ Mark Davis Sends Message Every Fan Needed to Hear
The Las Vegas Raiders have the best defensive player in the National Football League, in Maxx Crosby. Crosby has been a force to deal with over the last few years. He has been all over the quarterbacks he has faced during that time. He loves to play the game and do it for the Silver and Black. That has been his team since day one, and the team that believed in him, when no one else gave him his opportunity. Crosby is the face of the Raiders franchise, and he wants to win as badly as anyone for this organization. He is having another good season in 2025 and is looking to get better and create more chaos in the backfield for the offense. He is one of a kind, and the Raiders need to do a better job of putting a good team around him to capitalize on what type of player Crosby is. Raiders Owner Mark Davis on Maxx Crosby "Asked about interest in Crosby and the team's decision not to trade him, Raiders owner Mark Davis told NFL.com he doesn't understand why people keep asking," said NFL Insider Ian Rapoport. "I don't know how many times I've got to say it," Davis said this past week following the Fall League Meeting in New York. "It's really hard to keep getting asked the same question every month or week or whatever when the answer's going to stay the same. I don't know why anybody would think I'd change my mind or the organization would." This past offseason, the Raiders signed Crosby to a three-year, $106.5 million extension through the 2029 campaign. Davis knows it's natural for teams to take a look around the league and covet what isn't theirs. However, he said "everything about Maxx is awesome" and he doesn't see him leaving. "Everybody wants to have your great players," Davis said. "It starts there, it doesn't start with us." Crosby has also made it very clear that he wants to stay with the Silver and Black and win in Las Vegas. But it is a question that is always asked because of the bad product the Raiders are putting on the field. The Raiders will get to soon if they made the right adjustments during their bye week, in Week 9 agiant the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Steelers Fans Get New Glowing Report About Safety Kyle Dugger As He Brings A Huge Upgrade To The Defense
The Pittsburgh Steelers have been a team that has been involved in plenty of trade rumors, and those rumors amplify as the trade deadline grows closer. The deadline is on November 4th, and Pittsburgh has made its first trade of the regular season. The organization acquired safety Kyle Dugger from the New England Patriots earlier in the week as the two sides swapped a sixth and seventh round pick as well in the deal. Dugger was a smart player for the Steelers to acquire, especially after DeShon Elliott's knee injury that got him placed on Injured Reserve. Elliott could miss serious time with his injury, but he will be out for at least four games and it could be more. Dugger will come in and try to fill his shoes, as he should be an immediate contributor to the defense. The trade was officially announced by the team on Thursday, so he won't have much time to get on the practice field or ingratiate himself into the defensive system. He could see the field some on Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts, but it would be in a limited capacity. Current Pittsburgh safety Jabrill Peppers played with Dugger in New England, and he shared some glowing comments on his new teammate while speaking with Jim Wexell of SteelCityInsider. "Personally, I think he's one of the better safeties in the league -- 6-1, 6-2, long arms, fast, explosive, can cover, play the run, play over the top, can play underneath," Peppers told SteelCityInsider. "He was dealing with a little bit of an injury last year. His deltoid was off the bone. I don't know if anybody really knew, like, what was going on with him, but it's kind of hard to play with things like that. So I'm excited for him." Dugger only played in 13 games during the 2024 season due to his shoulder injury, but he did try to play through, which it led to a slight dip in his production. A new coaching staff came into New England during the 2025 offseason, and they decided to go in a new direction at safety. This led to Peppers getting cut and then signed by Pittsburgh, and it also led to Dugger being available via trade. Peppers is expected to be starting at safety on Sunday against the Colts, and he and Dugger should eventually become the starting safety duo for the Steelers once the newly acquired safety gets acclimated. Dugger has racked up 441 total tackles in his career to go with nine interceptions. He is a great tackler and is a true asset in run support, which is something Pittsburgh needs as the season moves on. Pittsburgh's defense has been very disappointing so far in 2025, and hopefully the change to Dugger and Peppers at safety is able to provide some sort of spark for the back end. The Steelers need it, especially with a three-game losing streak looming. Steelers Made Great Low-Risk Move In Acquiring Kyle Dugger Dugger was relatively cheap for Pittsburgh when it came to draft capital, but many fans were immediately worried about the financial impact of the deal. The safety had signed a lucrative contract extension back in 2024, and that was a concern with him coming into Pittsburgh. The deal was for four years and $58 million, but the Steelers had it negotiated in the trade talks that the rest of the years on the deal are wiped out. This means the safety will be a free agent after the 2025 season ends, and the organization is not tied to him financially. In addition to that, New England is also paying the majority of his remaining salary for the 2025 season. This is already a win for the Steelers.
