Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce and pop icon Taylor Swift have once again set the internet ablaze, this time with their sun-soaked Bahamas vacation sparking rumors, body-shaming backlash, and a cheeky response from Kelce himself.

The couple, spotted frolicking on a beach in Harbour Island last March, faced unwarranted scrutiny over their physiques, with online trolls labeling Kelce’s relaxed offseason build as a “dad bod” and commenting on Swift’s figure.

But the NFL tight end, never one to shy away from a quip, addressed the chatter with humor and a cryptic comment that’s sent Swifties into a speculative frenzy: “Well, I might be a DAD soon, baby…”

The romantic getaway came during a rare break for the high-profile couple, with Swift, 35, on hiatus from her record-breaking Eras Tour and Kelce, also 35, unwinding after a grueling NFL season that saw the Chiefs fall short in the 2025 Super Bowl against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Paparazzi photos captured the pair in blissful moments—kissing in the ocean, holding hands on the sand, and lounging under the Bahamian sun.

Swift stunned in a yellow bikini, while Kelce sported blue swim trunks, his physique noticeably softer than his in-season form.

Social media, however, was quick to pounce. Critics zeroed in on Kelce’s midsection, branding it a “dad bod,” a term often used to describe a slim but untoned physique with a hint of a belly.

Some even took aim at Swift, with a few harsh comments suggesting she appeared to have “belly fat.”

The remarks, widely condemned as body-shaming, prompted a wave of support from fans who praised the couple for looking healthy, happy, and in love.

Kelce addressed the criticism on his New Heights podcast, co-hosted with his brother, retired NFL star Jason Kelce, during an episode recorded shortly after the vacation.

In a lighthearted exchange with guest Saquon Barkley, the Philadelphia Eagles running back, Kelce laughed off the “dad bod” jabs. “It’s March! We’re in the same weight class now,” he teased Jason, who revealed he weighed 283 pounds.

Kelce, listed at 250 pounds during the season, admitted to packing on a few pounds in the offseason, joking, “Well, I might be a DAD soon, baby…” The comment, delivered with his signature charm, left listeners wondering if it was a playful nod to the “dad bod” label or a hint at something more—like future family plans with Swift.

The remark gained traction when Donna Kelce, Travis and Jason’s mother, recently fueled speculation by engaging with a fan’s comment on social media.

After sharing a clip of Travis meeting Jason’s newborn daughter, Finnley Anne, via FaceTime, Donna responded with a heart emoji to a fan who wrote, “Trav’s going to make a wonderful father, just like Jason!”

While Donna later removed the reaction, the interaction sent Swifties into overdrive, with many interpreting it as a subtle endorsement of Travis and Taylor starting a family.

Swift, for her part, has remained unfazed by the body-shaming comments, with sources close to the singer telling Daily Mail that she “loves” Kelce’s current physique.

“Travis and his dad bod is the reward he’s giving himself for an epic Super Bowl-winning season,” an insider said, referencing his role in the Chiefs’ back-to-back championships in 2023 and 2024. “She’s fine with it and thinks he’s perfect as is.”

Fans echoed this sentiment, with one X post reading, “Taylor and Travis look like a normal, happy couple enjoying their vacation. Can we stop obsessing over their bodies?”

The Bahamas trip wasn’t just about beachside PDA. The couple, who began dating publicly in September 2023, used the getaway to recharge after months of juggling demanding schedules.

Swift had just wrapped her Eras Tour shows in Singapore, while Kelce had been celebrating his third Super Bowl ring.

Their relationship, marked by mutual support—Swift cheering at Chiefs games and Kelce attending her concerts in Australia and London—has captivated fans worldwide.

Recent reports suggest they’ve been relishing private time together during the NFL offseason, with a source telling PEOPLE, “They’re very serious and in sync. Right now, the focus is on private time out of the spotlight.”

Kelce’s “dad” comment also reignited engagement and baby rumors, which have swirled since he jokingly mentioned “making one” during a podcast discussion about lab-grown diamonds last year.

Astrologer Inbaal Honigman recently told HELLO! that “August 2025 is a time for love” for the couple, predicting “baby news will soon arrive” due to favorable planetary alignments. While neither Swift nor Kelce has confirmed such plans, their families appear supportive.

Ed Kelce, Travis’s father, told Australia’s Today in February that the offseason would be “a very good time for the two of them without the NFL season, without the Eras Tour, just them alone really connecting more.”

As the speculation continues, one thing is clear: Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift are unbothered by the noise.

Whether it’s defending their bodies or teasing future milestones, the couple remains focused on their happiness.

For now, fans will keep parsing every podcast quip and beach photo, hoping for the next chapter in this real-life fairy tale.
