TRAVIS Kelce’s extravagant spending on extravagant gifts for Taylor Swift may not seem surprising for a football star who rakes in millions.
But the way he coddles the Grammy winner reveals a little about their romance, including signs that Taylor has finally found her match, according to a relationship expert.
Travis, 34, has been spending big on gifts for Taylor, 33, since they started dating in 2023.
A source told The US Sun on Wednesday that he even chose a $250,000 engagement ring with the “finest diamonds.”
“It probably took more than 40 store visits and 100 Zoom calls and meetings with jewelry experts” to find what she was looking for, the source said.
“He wants the best for his lady,” they added.

The big purchases come after he reportedly spent $59,000 on Jil Sander clothes to give to Taylor.
There were also reports that he spent $75,000 on designer gifts for his girlfriend when they were in Milan, as well as thousands of dollars on designer accessories and macarons in Paris.
Relationship specialist Katie Flores says Travis’ extravagant spending shows that the pair are on equal financial footing – and that he’s prepared to contribute equally to the relationship in a variety of ways.
“Travis’ consistent gift-giving is a significant part of his love language,” she told The US Sun.
“His generous gifts are more meaningful because the financial dynamics in his relationship with Taylor are unique.”
Taylor has a history with partners who “may not match your economic and financial situation.”
“Giving gifts in this way shows that Travis can contribute equally to the lifestyle they enjoy together,” she explained.
“It promotes a balance that allows them to pamper themselves without any underlying financial stresses.
“Travis’ lavish gifts and grand gestures highlight their equal partnership.
“Travis is committed to contributing meaningfully, emotionally and materially to this relationship.”
Taylor has dated several famous men in their own right, including Matty Healy, Jake Gyllenhaal and Harry Styles.
Her last boyfriend was British actor Joe Alwyn, from whom she separated in 2023.
Travis’ goal is not just to give something expensive, but to offer something that reflects his deep knowledge of Taylor.

While some of the Cruel Summer hitmaker’s exes may have earned a lot, Taylor’s bank account could make even one percent look destitute.
According to Forbesshe became a billionaire in 2023, with a reported net worth of $1.1 billion.
Travis, in turn, is worth an estimated $70 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth.
In addition to his NFL paycheck endorsement deals, his income has been boosted by TV and film roles and his popular podcast New Heights.
His shopping spree at Jil Sander in Europe came after other big spending moments across the continent.
During Taylor’s Italian tour dates, her Chiefs boyfriend hit the stores in Milan, visiting Valentino, Prada, Bottega Veneta and Fendi.
A source told The US Sun that Travis presented Taylor with $75,000 in gifts.
“Their time in Milan was a unique experience for Taylor, as Travis showed how much he loves giving her meaningful gifts,” the source said.
WHAT SHE WANTS
Taylor’s wealth allows her to buy whatever she wants, so according to Flowers, Travis made efforts to buy meaningful gifts.
“Travis’ gifts are a way for him to make sure Taylor feels special and valued,” she said.

Flowers said Travis’ gifts highlight the football star’s “commitment” to her.
“For Travis and Taylor, their first year together could be marked by these grand gift-giving gestures,” she said.
“They all represent your commitment and care for her.
“In the first year of a relationship, buying gifts tends to be more frequent, as couples are still discovering what they like and don’t like about each other.”

Keeping Taylor pampered with gifts can also send some very personal signals — especially with this couple living so much in front of the cameras.
“What’s unique about this dynamic is how they both navigate their public lives while maintaining a personal connection,” Flowers said.
“They both seem to understand the importance of balancing public displays of affection with private, meaningful moments.

“He can find joy not just in giving, but in seeing the happiness it brings Taylor,” she said.
“Those who come from more modest backgrounds often develop a deep appreciation for the finer things in life once they have the means.

BIG SPENDERS
The power couple certainly knows how to spend – and it goes both ways.
According to Life and Stylethey have spent US$100,000 daily on the relationship, with expenses “outside of expectations”.
A source recently claimed that Travis bought Taylor eight boxes of macarons and Chanel sunglasses for more than $700 in Paris.
A bouquet of white orchids cost her $2,050 in May and was ordered from luxury florist Rene Veyrat.
He also spent $1,100 on Valentine’s Day roses.
“Travis and Taylor love fashion, so he wanted the Chanel gifts to offer an elegant Parisian touch,” the source told The US Sun.
CUSTOMIZE
Moving forward, Flowers encouraged Travis to continue thoughtfully gifting his girlfriend as the novelty aspect may wear off.
“This is especially true if gifts become routine or have no personal meaning,” she said.
“However, if the gifts continue to be thoughtful and tailored to the girlfriend’s interests, they are less likely to become tiresome.
“It is important for Travis to balance these gifts with deep experiences and emotional connections.
“This can deepen their relationship beyond material items.
“Overall, Travis’ generous gift-giving could be his way of expressing that he’s not just a partner.
“He is saying that he is someone who can contribute significantly to your shared life.
“This is all despite Taylor’s considerable wealth and success.”
