In a moment that shocked fans across the globe, NFL superstar Travis Kelce has confirmed that pop icon Taylor Swift is eight months pregnant—and the couple has even revealed the baby’s gender.

During an exclusive interview aired last night on 60 Minutes, Kelce appeared glowing with pride as he shared the news that fans have speculated about for months.

> “It’s been an incredible journey,” Kelce said. “Taylor and I are thrilled to welcome our baby soon. She’s eight months along, and yes, it’s a girl.”

The announcement marks a historic moment for one of entertainment and sports’ most high-profile power couples. Swift, 35, who has remained relatively private about her personal life despite international fame, has not made a direct public statement—yet.

However, she was spotted just days ago in New York City wearing an oversized cream sweater and what appeared to be a subtle baby bump, igniting speculation that has now been confirmed.

A Private Pregnancy

According to Kelce, the couple made a conscious decision to keep the pregnancy under wraps for as long as possible. “We wanted this time to be about us,” he said. “It’s not easy balancing privacy with the public’s curiosity, but we’ve had an amazing support system—family, friends, and our teams.”

Rumors had swirled since early this year after Swift postponed several Eras Tour appearances, citing “health and personal reasons.” At the time, fans noticed she began making fewer public outings, and some eagle-eyed Swifties even pointed out cryptic baby-themed Easter eggs in her recent lyrics and social media posts.

A Musical Legacy in the Making

Swift, one of the best-selling artists of all time, is reportedly planning a brief maternity leave after giving birth but has no intention of stepping away from music permanently. A source close to the singer told Variety that Swift has been writing new material inspired by motherhood, which could be part of her next project.

Kelce, meanwhile, is gearing up for another NFL season with the Kansas City Chiefs but emphasized that “family comes first.”

Gender Reveal: “She’ll Be Fierce Like Her Mom”

The couple’s announcement that they are expecting a girl has sent fans into a frenzy. Social media exploded overnight with congratulatory messages, baby name predictions, and celebratory posts using the hashtag #BabySwiftKelce. Celebrities including Blake Lively, Selena Gomez, and Patrick Mahomes also shared their excitement.

“I already know she’s going to be fierce like her mom and probably tall like me,” Kelce joked.

What’s Next for Swift and Kelce?

While no due date has been officially released, sources estimate the baby could arrive by late June or early July. A small, private birth is expected, with reports indicating the couple plans to spend the summer at Swift’s Nashville estate surrounded by close family.

Fans and media outlets alike will be watching closely, but both Swift and Kelce have asked for privacy as they prepare to welcome their daughter.
