A body language expert has noted significant changes in Travis Kelce’s behavior during his public appearance with Taylor Swift at the US Open, sparking speculation among fans and critics about whether he is growing weary of the intense attention on their relationship.
Over the weekend, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce were spotted at the US Open, providing another glimpse into their dynamic. This appearance comes amid rumors of a possible breakup, intensified by a viral fake contract suggesting the couple would part ways by the end of the month. Despite the swirling rumors, the two seemed unaffected as they appeared together.
During the event, Kelce was often seen checking his phone, a behavior that caught the attention of fans. Instead of being fully engaged in the match or interacting with Swift, he appeared distracted by his device. Fans speculated that he might have been watching something unrelated to the game, especially since he frequently held his phone in landscape mode.
Body language expert Darren Stanton commented on Kelce’s actions, suggesting they could indicate disinterest. “It’s a subtle yet clear sign that he’s not fully present in the moment,” Stanton noted. “In a social or public setting, it’s unusual for someone to keep checking their phone, especially when sitting next to a significant other.”
Another notable change in the couple’s behavior was the apparent lack of physical affection. In previous appearances, Swift and Kelce were often seen holding hands, hugging, and expressing public displays of affection. However, at the US Open, such moments were noticeably limited.
Stanton also observed that Kelce only appeared engaged when Swift was looking at him, in contrast to their earlier, more affectionate interactions. “Their physical connection seems to have diminished over time,” Stanton remarked. “While Taylor remains vibrant, Kelce’s energy and effort in public have significantly decreased. It’s as if he’s only making an effort when she’s paying attention.”
In the early stages of their relationship, the couple was often seen sharing intimate gestures, prolonged eye contact, and affectionate glances when caught by cameras. However, Stanton notes that these gestures have become less frequent in recent appearances.
The relentless media attention may be taking a toll on Kelce. While he is accustomed to the spotlight as an NFL player, the added scrutiny of dating one of the world’s biggest pop stars might be more overwhelming than he expected.
Before their appearance at the US Open, rumors of a potential breakup had already begun to circulate, gaining traction when a fake “contract” suggesting their relationship was a strategic move with a planned breakup date went viral. Despite these rumors, Swift and Kelce presented a united front at the event, though their behavior did not entirely allay concerns. The subtle changes in their dynamic, as noted by Stanton, have continued to fuel speculation.
As with most high-profile relationships, social media buzzed with opinions about the couple’s appearance at the US Open. Many users echoed the concerns raised by Stanton, with some sharing their theories. One user commented, “He looks like he’s ready for it to end. Something just seems off about him.” Another theorized that their relationship might be part of a calculated strategy, saying, “I wonder if people know this relationship is fake. She’s using the NFL to grow her fanbase, while he’s leveraging it for a post-football career.”
Some fans suggested the relationship seemed inauthentic, while others focused on the potential drama that could come with a breakup, with comments like, “[Can’t] wait for the breakup drama.”
