Kelce Confirms New Addition to Family
Travis Kelce has confirmed that he and his wife, Taylor Swift, are now parents to a white Samoyed. The Kansas City Chiefs tight end made the revelation during a recent interview with Vogue, where he stars in a new Tommy Hilfiger fashion campaign first shared by the magazine on September 1. The campaign features the couple's fluffy white Samoyed alongside Kelce.
According to Vogue, the Hilfiger creative team had been considering casting a canine for the campaign, and Kelce volunteered the dog he shares with Swift. "We figured, why not her? She crushed it and actually really fit into that Tommy aesthetic, too," Kelce told the magazine. He added that the photographs featuring the Samoyed are among his favorites from the session.
Kelce, who hosts the "New Heights" podcast, did not reveal the dog's name, but expressed his affection for the new addition, saying, "She lights up my day."
The photoshoot for the campaign took place at New York City's Plaza Hotel and Central Park, as reported by The Times of India.
Speculation Leading to Confirmation
The confirmation comes after months of speculation about the couple adopting a dog. The white Samoyed had been spotted in photographs displayed at a wedding venue, and further speculation emerged after Swift's security guard was seen taking the dog for a walk, according to The Times of India.
Us Weekly reported that fans had speculated the couple became dog parents after they were spotted at Trump International Airport in Palm Beach, Florida, on July 12 with a four-legged companion.
Kelce Praises Swift's Style
In the same interview, Kelce also spoke admiringly about his wife's fashion sense. "I love that Tay's always authentically herself with every look," he told Vogue. "Whether we're hanging with some friends or just us two on a fun night out for dinner, she's always effortless, elegant, and beautiful. She's not afraid of unique patterns or bold colors, and she's just timeless and classy in everything she steps out in."
The couple married in July in a grand ceremony at Madison Square Garden in New York City, with around 1,000 guests in attendance, as reported by The Times of India. Us Weekly noted that the couple had been dating for three years before tying the knot.
The couple have since been making low-key appearances at weddings and birthday parties, according to The Times of India.
A Cat and Dog Household
In addition to their new dog, Swift is a cat owner to three felines: Meredith Grey, Olivia Benson, and Benjamin Button, as noted by Us Weekly. During her August 2025 appearance on Kelce's "New Heights" podcast, Swift discussed introducing her cats to the daughters of Kelce's brother, Jason Kelce. She recounted that Jason, 38, had told his four daughters that cats were poisonous, which she refuted, saying, "It was actually really a great challenge because as soon as I got the kids around the cats, it was my goal to prove to them that they weren't poisonous. And there's no better way to prove that than to just hand them Benjamin, my ragdoll cat, who lets humans hold him like"
