The whole world is discussing the engagement of Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and his pop singer girlfriend, Taylor Swift. The star couple announced their engagement on Tuesday. However, Miami Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel had no clue about getting engaged.
So we got to see his live reaction to the news before he shared his opinion of Kelce and Swift's relationship.
During Thursday's episode of "The Dan Patrick Show," McDaniel was questioned to share his thoughts about Kelce and Swift's engagement.
"You just told me. I didn't know. ... I'm pumped to hear about it now, I guess," McDaniel said. "I’m hoping it’s a love-based relationship and good for them. Finally, they’re doing it the old-fashioned way, where people shouldn’t really be entering into any escapades until they’re married."
McDaniel had no clue on how to address the news. He admitted that he doesn't really keep himself updated on all the trending topics to avoid small talk in social situations.
But his slightly awkward remarks on the couple's engagement has sparked a controversy. Some fans thought that McDaniel's comment about escapades before marriage was not really an appropriate topic to discuss in the context of the couple's special day.
Swift and Kelce announced their engagement on Tuesday in an Instagram post.
"Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married 🧨,” Taylor wrote in the caption of the post.
Travis Kelce reflected on marriage before engagement announcement
In an interview with GQ earlier this month, Travis Kelce discussed marriage and the importance of long-term relationships.
"The handful of my friends whose parents are still together and still thriving, those are situations I would love to have," Kelce said. "Not that I think my parents dealt with it the wrong way or anything like that. It’s more so, if we’re gonna start this and do it, why not try and do it to last forever? Not just in a ‘It’s just for the kids’ aspect."
The Chiefs TE' mother revealed in an interview with News 5 Cleveland that Travis proposed to Taylor on August 10 and they got engaged in Lee's Summit, Missouri. The couple facetimed their families to share the special news.
