'Millionaire Matchmaker' Patti Stanger Makes Bold Prediction About Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce

Entertainment gossip and news from Newsweek's network of contributors

Patti Stanger is wholeheartedly cheering on Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's romance, expressing hope that their relationship will soon take a significant step forward.

The Millionaire Matchmaker star shared her thoughts about the couple in a conversation with Entertainment Tonight, noting their successful individual careers and how well they complement each other. "I just want them to succeed and get an engagement ring by July," Stanger, 62, enthusiastically stated in an interview. "I'm rooting for it."

The relationship expert highlighted how both Swift and Kelce, both 34, have thrived in their respective fields, noting, "He's at the top of his game and she's at the top of her game," adding in that their separate successes make their union even more powerful. She candidly expressed her desire for their union, stating, "This is the wedding I want."

Swift and Kelce, both 34, made their relationship public in September 2023 and have since been open about their affection for each other. Unlike Swift's prior six year relationship with Joe Alwyn, which was marked by a high degree of privacy, her connection with Kelce has been much more transparent.

This isn't the first time Stanger has shared her opinion on the superstar couple. She shared her thoughts on the couple's relationship while on the red carpet at the Critics Choice Awards in January. Speaking with Fox News Digital, she expressed her belief that a proposal from the NFL star could be imminent. "I have a feeling [Kelce] will propose once the season's over," Stanger predicted.

While no proposal has happened yet, Stanger anticipates that if it is in the cards, it would likely occur in the window between the end of the playoffs and the start of summer training. She humorously noted, "The NFL won't let you propose, apparently, during season." While there is no official rule against in-season proposals, the notion has been floated before that such timing might not be well received.
