Kelce additionally made it clear on "The Pat McAfee Show" that their relationship is about having fun and showing support no matter what, even if they can't be there in person to do so.

"It’s a beautiful thing, isn’t it?" Kelce told McAfee, who referenced the Chiefs star and Swift being in love. 

"Hopefully everybody realizes that we’re just two people in a relationship supporting each other and having fun with it, man. It’s nothing more than that, and no matter how much the world wants to paint the picture and make us the enemy, we just have fun with it. We enjoy every single bit of it."
