NFL host Charissa Thompson is calling out her boyfriend after seeing Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift.

The popular NFL host, who works for Fox Sports and Amazon Prime, is gearing up for the 2026 season. The offseason isn't over yet, though. Later this summer, Kelce and Swift will be tying the knot. They're expected to get married in New York City in July.

It's unclear if Thompson, or her coworker and friend, Erin Andrews, will be invited. However, the two are very much fans of Swift and Kelce. Thompson, meanwhile, is so infatuated with Kelce and Swift, that she's calling out her boyfriend.

Thompson spoke to PEOPLE about Kelce and Swift and their relationship. In doing so, she called out her own boyfriend, Steven Cundari.

“It's just been fun watching their love story from afar and upfront. And I always say to my boyfriend after we see them, I'm like, ‘You should love me more.' Because they love each other so much and it's so beautiful to see and just I love seeing both of them happy,” the Thursday Night Football host told PEOPLE at Amazon Upfronts on Monday, May 11.

Thompson remembers where she was when Kelce, Swift got engaged

The NFL host remembers where she was.

“I was at my ranch. I have a ranch where I rescue animals,” she told PEOPLE.

“I don't normally have my phone with me all the time when I'm up there. It's one of the luxuries of being up there is going off the grid,” she added. “But I happened to be in the kitchen and Erin and I were texting about it because we found out at the same time."

Kelce and Thompson had encouraged Kelce to make a move on Swift. And it worked.

"So it was sort of apropos that we've obviously always advocated and hoped that they would fall in love and live happily ever after," she said, adding, "And it actually happened!"

The Chiefs will be opening the 2026 regular season in September.
