NFL star Travis Kelce has praised his fiancée, Taylor Swift for inspiring him to continuing to play after considering retirement.
Kelce, who plays for the Kansas City Chiefs, where he has won three Super Bowls, had said that Swift's joy for her music had inspired him to carry on playing for the team, having previously considered leaving as a free agent. He has now agreed to re sign a contract with Chiefs.
"We share the same love for what we do, and fortunately we've had this desire since we were kids in our selective professions", Kelce told The Pat McAfee Show. "It's amazing to see her keep going to the table, keep finding new things to write about, keep finding new melodies and, on top of that, still seeing her have that love and joy in what she does".
He continued: "Of course, that's motivating. That's motivating for anybody to see, let alone my fiancée, knowing that I'm going through something where I'm trying to figure out exactly what the future holds for me".
"Something like that definitely motivates me to say, 'You know what? I'm not done, either'. I've still got some ideas in the back of my mind and still got some juice left to play this game".
Kelce first joined the Kansas Chiefs in 2013.
Back in August, Kelce and Swift announced their engagement with a joint statement: "Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married".

Back in October, Tayor Swift shared the romantic Travis Kelce story behind her single, 'Opalite'.
“‘Opalite’ is a song about forgiving yourself for having gone through something that didn't pan out the way you wanted it to. It's giving yourself permission to not have it all figured out or not marry the first person you ever dated", Swift said. More on this story here.
