Travis Kelce has fuelled engagement and baby rumours with girlfriend Taylor Swift while discussing lab-grown diamonds on his podcast with his brother, Jason Kelce.
“You can’t tell me that dude wasn’t made in a f***ing lab over there in France,” he said on the “New Heights” podcast on Wednesday, referring to NBA star Victor Wembanyama, who is 224cm-tall.

“Lab-grown diamonds, that’s a lab-grown f***ing NBA player. Can’t wait til I f***in’ make one,” the Kansas City Chiefs star, 34, added, per Page Six.
Jason quickly interjected, pleading with his younger brother to stop the conversation before he caused conspiracy theories to emerge.
“Don’t do this. Do not give any of these other conspiracy theorists anything else to latch onto, please,” the retired NFL star said.
Travis’ new comments sent fans into hysterics on social media.
“This will get people to tune in that’s all I think this is if they we’re engaged or getting engaged I think Jason would be the one to hint at it not Travis also I really think it would be a family ring or vintage ring not a new ring,” tweeted one person.
“Mini me in coming (sic),” added another.
“Before he was begging for a date and now he was begging for a baby,” said a third person.
“DONT TELL ME THAT U CANT WAIT TO MAKE BABIES WITH MY TAYYY TRAAAAVVVVVV WHATS GOING OOOONNNN,” wrote a fourth user.
Other fans warned Swifties not to look into the tight end’s remarks too much because the brothers often joke on their show.
“You guys need to understand that they joke a lot in this podcast pls don’t take it seriously,” tweeted one person X.
“These theories (are) what brings hate to him and their relationship … Just stop and learn to take a joke,” added another.
Kelce flew out to Australia to join Swift on her Eras Tour and recently revealed what he really thought of his time in Sydney.
Whenever Travis does decide to get down on one knee and propose to Swift, also 34, he already has an expensive option as an engagement ring.
Page Six reported in January that Philadelphia-based jewellery designer Steven Singer offered the three-time Super Bowl champ a $1 million custom-made ring for the proposal.
“I recognise that the most renowned couple globally has an abundance of options when it comes to choosing engagement rings, should they decide to tie the knot,” the owner of Steven Singer Jewelers said.
“If they do, I would be honoured to help design a truly extraordinary ring exclusively for them.”
Page Six also reported that Travis is planning to propose to Swift this summer.
“Taylor and Travis discussed it and there is a plan,” an insider told Page Six in January.
“They will get engaged on their one-year anniversary in July.”
