George Kittle and his wife Claire give Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce relationship advice after 12 successful years as a couple

In a heartwarming display of camaraderie, San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle and his wife Claire offered relationship advice to the NFL’s newest celebrity couple, Travis Kelce and global pop sensation Taylor Swift.

The Kittles, who have been together for over a decade, 12 years to be exact, shared their insights on how to maintain a strong partnership amid the hustle and bustle of professional sports and celebrity life.

George Kittle’s advice for Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift

Speaking to PEOPLE ahead of the premiere of Netflix’s “Receiver,” George Kittle emphasized the importance of open dialogue.

“Talk as much as possible. Communicate!” he advised. Claire Kittle agreed, saying, “The most important thing is communication.”

The couple’s emphasis on constant communication comes at a time when Kelce and Swift are navigating their high-profile relationship under intense public scrutiny.

With Swift’s world tours and Kelce’s NFL commitments, the Kittles’ advice could prove invaluable.

The Kittles also shared a personal practice that they believe could help couples like Swift and Kelce.

George revealed: “Claire came up with a great idea that we’ve been doing for a long time: we should definitely say ‘I love you’ to each other every night before we go to bed.”

This simple but powerful ritual serves as a reset button for the relationship, according to George. “It’s just good to tell the other person that, whether you’ve had an argument or you’re upset. It’s just a good way to end the day,” he added.

Claire Kittle recognized the increased attention that comes with being an NFL couple. She noted that being a WAG (Wives and Girlfriends) means more attention given the huge platform the NFL provides.

However, she stressed that a solid relationship can provide stability amid the “chaos of the world.”

The Kittles’ advice comes at a time when Kelce and Swift are making headlines for their ability to support each other despite their demanding schedules.

Swift’s trip from Tokyo to Las Vegas for Super Bowl LVIII and Kelce’s presence at her concerts demonstrate her commitment to a functioning relationship.

George Kittle’s Taylor Swift-related text to Travis Kelce

In a lighthearted moment, George Kittle told a funny anecdote about Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift during Christian McCaffrey’s wedding in Rhode Island.

Kittle admitted that he sent Kelce a joking text message because he knew they were near one of Swift’s properties.

“I texted Travis and said, ‘Hey, I have to go to the bathroom. Do you mind? Did Taylor leave a key somewhere?'” Kittle said during an appearance on the Rich Eisen Show.

Kelce’s witty response: “You can try to get in, but I think security will get you out.”

This lighthearted exchange not only represents the friendship between the two NFL stars, but also highlights the good-natured way in which they have embraced the attention surrounding Kelce’s relationship with Swift.

Increasing trend of NFL celebrity crossovers

Swift’s connection to the NFL has grown significantly over the past year, with the singer’s attendance at 13 Chiefs games during the 2023 season, including Super Bowl LVIII in Las Vegas, bringing increased attention to the sport.

This crossover between sports and entertainment has not gone unnoticed by the league. There have been reports that the NFL has taken Swift’s tour dates into account when planning game schedules, although the extent of that consideration remains a matter of speculation among fans.

As the new NFL season approaches, the relationship between Kelce and Swift continues to intrigue fans and media alike.

Given the wisdom of experienced couples like the Kittles, there is hope that this spectacular romance will continue to thrive in the spotlight.
