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?”

Wisconsin Badgers Add Intriguing Committed In-State 2026 PF to Radar
The Wisconsin Badgers basketball staff quietly added an unranked 2026 in-state forward to the recruiting board recently who could be a name to watch. Andrew Jensen, a 2026 power forward, is a 6-foot-9-inch, 205-pound athlete with a handful of early scholarship offers. Jensen holds offers from Milwaukee, Marquette, Loyola, Illinois, Northwestern, and Toledo among others. The recruit has also been speaking with Wisconsin and DePaul heavily as of late, but the Badgers currently do not have the upper hand. Jensen visited DePaul twice and had nothing but positive things to say about each visit, citing the familiarity of the offensive system as a main reason for the visit. The forward announced his commitment to DePaul, but with an early commitment under his belt, the Wisconsin Badgers will continue to monitor the recruit. The forward is a versatile play-maker who has put immense work into developing himself into a floor-spacing stretch big. The development of an outside shot has been a major point for the forward recently, which was on display in Madison during a skills camp with the Badgers staff. Wisconsin did not offer a scholarship at the time, but could consider doing so if Jensen proves to be a top option within the 2026 class. Wisconsin Badgers Keeping an Eye on Andrew Jensen Despite DePaul Commitment Jensen might be a newly committed recruit but that does not exactly mean that Wisconsin will completely write the recruit off. The forward has a versatile and elite skill set for his position when paired with the Wisconsin Badgers offensive scheme. Wisconsin previously hosted Jensen for a skills camp and enjoyed what the forward displayed on the court. The Badgers did not pull the trigger on a scholarship offer, but the development of the relationship has been there for the staff. Given time and potential changes involving other targets, Jensen could become a serious player for the Badgers moving forward. Jensen represents a great fit within the Wisconsin Badgers offense and could potentially be someone who makes an impact early on given his skill set. The forward has put in plenty of work to develop his outside game in an effort to spread the floor more. The improved three-point offense of Jensen is a dangerous one and combined with the already strong play-making game, the forward would be an ideal match for the staff. The surprise commitment of Jensen should not change things for the staff as the recruit has announced his commitment relatively early on in the process. Many other programs will extend offers in the near future and other visits with notable programs could be booked as well which will likely change the process for young in-state forward.

Dustin Rhodes Assigns Blame After Hulk Hogan’s Death
Following the shocking news of Hulk Hogan’s passing, wrestling legend Dustin Rhodes, known to millions as Goldust in WWE, took to social media to share a deeply personal and provocative reaction: “Hospitals truly kill people. I really do mean that.” Rhodes’ blunt statement stunned many fans, but those who know his story saw the pain behind the words. His father, the iconic Dusty Rhodes, passed away in 2015, aged 69, after a fall at home led to hospitalization for kidney failure. After his father's passing, Dustin shared a contemplative response on WWE's YouTube channel to discuss the legacy his father left behind. The news of Hogan's death comes just a month after reports suggested he was on his "deathbed" after undergoing a neck procedure back in May. Hogan's reps denied that was the case. In June, US Weekly reported that Hogan had also undergone a "pretty serious heart surgery and was doing well afterward." Dustin’s connection to his brother Cody Rhodes, now a top WWE superstar and face of the company’s next generation, is unbreakable. The Rhodes family legacy is deeply woven into the fabric of pro wrestling history, and seeing another legend like Hogan pass has clearly hit close to home. While Goldust and Hulk Hogan never had a headline-grabbing rivalry, they did share the ring once. It occurred in WCW in 2000 when Dustin Rhodes matched up against Hogan. Although their paths didn’t often cross in the squared circle, Hogan and the Rhodes family were part of the same larger-than-life era that helped define pro wrestling for decades and catapult the sport into society's zeitgeist. Rhodes’ comment about hospitals might not sit well with everyone, but it speaks to a raw and honest pain felt by someone who has seen too many legends, both personal and professional, fade away in similar fashion. The sport of wrestling has endured more than its fair share of lives cut short. As tributes continue to pour in for Hogan, Rhodes’ reaction serves as a powerful, if somber, reminder of the real human emotions behind the wrestling personas.
Carter Hart, others found not guilty in Hockey Canada sexual assault trial
Carter Hart, Dillon Dube, Callan Foote, Michael McLeod and Alex Formenton have been found not guilty by Justice Maria Carroccia in London, Ontario, according to reporting from The Athletic, after being charged in connection with an alleged sexual assault involving the 2018 Canadian men’s national junior team. Carroccia said that she did not find E.M.’s [the alleged victim] evidence “credible or reliable,” in explaining her reasoning. “Having found that I cannot rely upon the evidence of E.M. and then considering the evidence in this trial as a whole, I conclude that the Crown cannot meet its onus on any of the counts before me,” Carroccia said. The allegations against Dube, Foote, Formenton, Hart and McLeod first became public in May of 2022, when reports emerged that Hockey Canada had paid to settle a lawsuit with a woman, known in court documents as E.M., who said she was sexually assaulted by eight players “over several hours” in a London hotel room on July 18, 2018. No charges were levied as a result of the initial investigation by local police, which was closed in February 2019, but the case was reopened after the 2022 report. Formal charges were then brought against the five defendants on Jan. 30, 2024. The trial began on April 22, 2025, and the verdicts were reached solely by Justice Carroccia after two mistrials influenced her to dismiss the jury. The NHL does not have a formal policy for players accused of or charged with domestic violence, sexual assault or similar crimes. Instead, the four players who were under NHL contracts at the time – Dube, Foote, Hart and McLeod – were granted indefinite leaves of absence by their clubs shortly before the charges were announced. All of them were pending restricted free agents on expiring contracts and were not extended qualifying offers, making them unrestricted free agents as of July 1, 2024. When asked about the playing eligibility of the defendants, NHL commissioner Gary Bettman has continually deferred action until after a verdict was reached. While none of the players are formally suspended by the league, similar situations have routinely required some sort of permission from league offices for them to play in or return to the NHL. If teams approach any of them with a contract offer, they will presumably wait for that guidance before registering the deal.
Aaron Rodgers had the worst possible start to Steelers camp
Aaron Rodgers made his practice debut for the Pittsburgh Steelers on Thursday, and it was not necessarily a moment he will want to remember. Rodgers’ very first pass was intercepted by linebacker Patrick Queen. The quarterback was trying to find top target DK Metcalf on a curl route, but was not quite accurate enough. Rodgers will not lose any sleep over this. It is not the first interception he has thrown in a practice session and it will not be the last. It did make for some amusing viewing for critics, though, and even some Steelers fans got a chuckle out of it. The Steelers are hoping Rodgers can lift them to at least a playoff win in 2025. If he succeeds, he is in line for a pretty big payday, and might even be able to go out on a high note if this is in fact his final NFL season. The other bright side to Rodgers’ inauspicious start to his Pittsburgh career? It will probably make Giants rookie Jaxson Dart feel a little bit better about his own first pass.
