Jesse James Decker, the accomplished musician currently expecting her fourth child with former NFL player Eric Decker, is weighing in on the romance between Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, expressing optimism that their relationship could be the real deal.
Drawing from her own experience as a singer married to an athlete, Jesse believes that having different careers than one's partner can be a positive aspect. According to her, this dynamic allows for mutual respect, admiration, and understanding of each other's professions without intruding into each other's work.
Jesse, at 35, emphasized that being in the public eye and both involved in entertainment at a high professional level creates a unique bond where partners can comprehend each other's challenges.
Having been with her husband for 13 years, Jesse and Eric, 36, share a strong foundation and understanding. They tied the knot in 2013 and have three children - 9-year-old daughter Vivian Rose, 8-year-old son Eric Bubby Thomas Decker 2, and 5-year-old son Forest Bradley.
The couple announced the exciting news of expecting their fourth child in August 2023, later revealing in November that it's a baby boy. Drawing parallels between their relationship and Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's budding romance, Jesse sees the potential for a lasting connection.
While Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, both 34, aren't yet at the stage of engagement, sources indicate that they are planning to get engaged in July around the time of their first anniversary. According to Page Six, Travis has already asked Swift's father, Scott Swift, for permission to marry her, and he enthusiastically gave his blessing. The couple has been open about their love, showcasing it publicly from holding hands in New York City to sharing kisses during a tour show in Argentina.
In dealing with the public spotlight on their romance, Travis Kelce shared in a press conference that they remain focused on their happiness and choose not to listen to outside noise. Taylor Swift echoed this sentiment during her 2023 Time Person of the Year profile, stating that being in a public relationship means they show up for each other while disregarding external opinions. As the couple navigates their relationship, their commitment to each other and prioritizing their joy takes precedence over external pressures.
