NEED TO KNOW
Travis Kelce started telling his inner circle about his plans to propose to Taylor Swift earlier this year, according to friend Andrew Santino.
The comedian, 41, revealed on the Sept. 12 episode of the Pardon My Take podcast that his pal Kelce, 35, first told him about his engagement plans during a game of golf, which took place a few months before the NFL star asked the pop star, 35, for her hand in marriage.
“We had golf together in like April or May, and yeah, he said he was doing it,” Santino recalled. “But he didn’t say when.”
“But I don’t pry,” he continued, adding: “We didn’t talk about it. … He’s brought something up about it, and then I never asked again.”
Kelce and Swift announced their engagement on Instagram on Aug. 26 after two years of dating.
Santino said during his podcast appearance that he contacted the couple when the news broke, though he explained the engagement actually “happened much earlier.”
“We just FaceTimed them to say congrats,” he said, adding that he was “stoked” for the couple.
As for the wedding, Santino admitted he “highly doubts” he’ll be invited. “I don’t think I got that invite,” he said on the podcast.
“I’m not on that list, dude,” Santino continued. “Travis is my boy, I love him to death, [but] I highly doubt it. … Maybe I’ll catch a bachelor party invite.”

Santino and Kelce were previously spotted on a golf course with Justin Timberlake back in late April.
In a funny video posted at the time by Timberlake, 44, the trio could be seen dancing together, as Midnight Star’s song “Curious” played over the clip.
“We are just @killatrav‘s backup dancers now,” the musician wrote in the caption of his post.
“The tequila had me leaning 😂,” Santino responded in the comments section, as Kelce added, “The vibes were unmatched!!”
The Kansas City Chiefs star later reposted the video on his Instagram Stories, writing, “Vibin out with the homies @cheetosantino @justintimberlake I didn’t know how to end it.”
