Travis Kelce's BFF Aric Jones officially crowns Taylor Swift as 'family'
Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift's relationship turned a year old, and the Blank Space singer has officially become part of the inner circle. The Chiefs tight end's best friend, Aric Jones, made headlines for sharing confirmation of Swift officially being a part of Kelce' family.
On Friday, Aric Jones was interviewed by "PEOPLE," during which he revealed an interesting update about the couple. Talking about Taylor Swift, Jones crowned the All Too Well singer as an official member of the family.
"She has stuff, of course," Jones said. "Why wouldn't she? That's family. Once you're in the family, you're fully engraved in this anyway. So it's like, why not do that for the people that you care the most about? It's an honor."
Moving forward in the interview, Aric Jones talked about his longtime friendship with Travis Kelce, highlighting an unpopular character trait of the tight end. Shedding light on Kelce's unique "gravitational force", Jones recalled:
“I think the greatest thing about Travis is his gravitational force that he has to just pull everybody in. And his superpower is — and his mom (Donna Kelce) said it one time and it completely resonated with me — is that when he's talking to somebody, he makes that person feel like they're the only person in the room. Everybody feels that Travis is their homeboy."
Aric Jones' statement came less than a day after Dave Portnoy called out Kayla Nicole for the backlash she received for discussing ex-boyfriend Travis Kelce on the WNBA star's podcast.
Dave Portnoy sided with Travis Kelce following Kayla Nicole's admission to regret discussing TE with Angel Reese
Last week Travis Kelce's ex Kayla Nicole made an appearance on WNBA star Angel Reese's "Unapologetically Angel" podcast. During the podcast, Nicole discussed her past life with Kelce, which was followed by a massive backlash from fans later. Dave Portnoy ripped Nicole, after she admitted to regret discussing the tight end, in the latest episode of BFF's podcast.
"Angel Reese and Kayla Nicole are perfect for each other. They are both people who love to talk and are obsessed about a third party. In this case, Travis Kelce for Kayla Nicole and Angel Reese loves talking about Caitlin Clark - she's slowed down a little bit," Dave Portnoy said.
"They love talking about these people and then are surprised when they get backlash from the fans of said people they can't stop talking about. 'Why are the Swifties coming after me?' Because Kayla Nicole, you don't shut up talking about Travis and Taylor. So yeah, they come after you," Portnoy further added. (2:08)
