Travis Kelce has revealed that he and his wife, Taylor Swift, have welcomed a new title into their household: dog parents.
The 36-year-old Kansas City Chiefs tight end appears in a new Tommy Hilfiger fashion campaign, unveiled by Vogue on Tuesday, September 1, with a scene-stealing companion by his side: the fluffy white Samoyed he shares with Swift.
According to the Vogue feature, Tommy Hilfiger’s creative team had already been considering using a dog in the campaign when Kelce offered up the couple’s own four-legged family member for the shoot.
“We figured, why not her? She crushed it and actually really fit into that Tommy aesthetic, too,” Kelce told the magazine of the Samoyed’s modeling debut. “Those are some of my favorite shots.”
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have remained at the center of pop culture conversation since they were first linked in 2023. Their 2025 engagement, announced just weeks before Swift released her album The Life of a Showgirl — which includes several apparent nods to Kelce — only intensified public interest in the couple’s relationship.
The “New Heights” podcast host didn’t reveal the pet’s name but further enthused over the new addition, “She lights up my day.”
Swifties began speculating whether the Grammy winner, also 36, and Kelce had quietly become dog parents after they were spotted touching down at the President Donald J. Trump International Airport in Palm Beach, Florida, on July 12 with a four-legged companion.
Swift and Kelce tied the knot in a star-studded wedding ceremony at Madison Square Garden in New York City on July 3 after three years of dating.
As well as their pet dog, Swift is also a cat mom to three felines: Meredith Grey, Olivia Benson and Benjamin Button.
It’s safe to say that Taylor Swift has Travis Kelce‘s family’s stamp of approval. The 14-time Grammy Award winner’s close bonds with Travis’ loved ones – including mom Donna, dad Ed, brother Jason and sister-in-law Kylie – have only grown since the couple started dating in the summer of 2023. “Both of their families love […]
During her August 2025 appearance on Kelce’s “New Heights” podcast, Swift shared how she integrated her cats into the extended Swift-Kelce family, specifically with brother-in-law Jason Kelce’s four daughters.
The “Fate of Ophelia” singer noted that Jason, 38, had told his girls — Wyatt, 6, Ellliotte, 5, Bennett, 3, and Finnley, 17 months — that cats were poisonous, which she was quick to dispel.
“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,” she said. “And there’s no better way to prove that than to just hand them Benjamin, my ragdoll cat, who lets humans hold him like he’s a baby.”
“My favorite thing ever is when Bennie will come up to me and just go, ‘I find Benjamin, I find him.’ And she’s just over there laying with him and petting him and holding him,” Swift shared at the time.
“The cats are so good with kids,” she added. “They’re just like, ‘Meredith is here!’ I’m like, ‘And you know what? She didn’t bite you at all, did she? And if she did bite you, she wouldn’t be poisonous.’ They’re like, ‘That’s not what our dad said.’”
