In a photo carousel shared on Swift’s verified Instagram, the couple posted images that included Kelce down on one knee and a close-up of Swift’s engagement ring. The caption playfully read, “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married,” delighting Swifties and NFL fans alike.
According to family comments circulating in early reports, Kelce proposed nearly two weeks ago in a garden in Lee’s Summit, Missouri — a detail confirmed by Kelce’s family members who said the family had known about the plan for months.
