Travis Kelce and Josh Allen might be rivals on the NFL gridiron, but they have nothing but respect for each other off the field.
Kelce, 35, even cheered on Allen, 28, after the Buffalo Bills quarterback announced his engagement to Hailee Steinfeld on Friday, November 29.
“Congratulations!!! ????????????????????????????????,” Kelce wrote in the Instagram comments section.
Allen had revealed in an Instagram post captioned with infinity emojis that he proposed to the 27-year-old actress one week earlier.
At the same time as Allen’s post, Kelce was playing in the Kansas City Chiefs’ Black Friday home game against the Las Vegas Raiders. Kelce’s girlfriend, Taylor Swift, was on hand — decked out with a giant “87” necklace and all — to cheer on the tight end to victory.
Swift, 34, also has a long history with Steinfeld. They’ve been acquaintances since 2013, one year before the Hawkeye alum appeared in Swift’s star-studded “Bad Blood” music video.
“Taylor called me … about the video, and she was like, ‘I’ll send you the treatment and it’ll explain it a lot better, [but] there’s going to be three of you!’ And I was like, ‘That’s going to be awesome. I have no idea what this is, but I obviously trust her and this is going to be amazing,’” Steinfeld recalled to USA Today in 2015 “She sets such an incredible example for everyone — let alone just me — that she’s such an inspiration. I really do look up to her as an artist and as a person.”

In recent years, both Swift and Steinfeld have become bona fide NFL fans.
“Football is awesome, it turns out. I’ve been missing out my whole life,” Swift told TIME in December 2023, breaking her silence on her relationship with Kelce.

Swift and Kelce started dating in July 2023, shortly after a missed connection at her Eras Tour and a “metal as hell” shout-out on his “New Heights” podcast.
Around the same time, Steinfeld and Allen connected. They went public in May 2023 and Instagram official a year later. She now enjoys cheering on Allen at Bills games, decked out in vintage team merch.
“Football season is back which means a few things: I get to watch my favorite person continue to make NFL history every week,” Steinfeld wrote in a September issue of her “Beau Society” newsletter. “I [spend] most of the game thinking about how lucky I am to get a front-row seat to the magic that is JA17, the entire Bills team and the stadium energy. The people who make up Bills Mafia are second to none.”
