Stonestreet, best known for his role as Cameron Tucker on the hit sitcom Modern Family, has long been a vocal supporter of Kelce, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end. The two share a bond rooted in their Midwestern roots and a mutual love for sports, with Stonestreet being a passionate Chiefs fan. In his interview, Stonestreet described Kelce as “a great guy” whose charisma and authenticity shine both on and off the football field. He didn’t hold back when discussing Kelce’s relationship with Swift, calling it a beautiful match that brings out the best in both of them.

“Travis is just so grounded, and Taylor lights up around him,” Stonestreet shared, hinting at the genuine connection between the two. He noted that Swift, known for her electrifying performances and songwriting prowess, seems to thrive in Kelce’s presence, while Kelce has embraced the whirlwind of dating one of the world’s biggest celebrities. Stonestreet’s comments echo sentiments from others close to the couple, like rapper Ice Spice, who recently called them “funny” and “like us” at the 2025 Kids’ Choice Awards, highlighting their down-to-earth nature despite their fame.

The couple’s romance, which began in 2023, has been a whirlwind of public moments that have kept fans glued to their every move.
