Travis Kelce's next ring?
TRAVIS Kelce has three Super Bowl rings - and a psychic matchmaker reckons he could soon add an engagement ring.
Speaking to The U.S. Sun, the psychic claimed Kelce will soon propose to music megastar girlfriend Taylor Swift.
But she also predicted both would eventually be married twice.
“The stars are aligned for these two at the moment,” Deborah Graham told The U.S. Sun.
“I see the relationship moving forward, and I see it moving towards that next level.
“The difficulty is that I see two life paths for them and two rings - I see two marriages there for both of them."
After back-to-back Super Bowls, the team is aiming for a historic three-peat in 2024.
Kelce is leaning on girlfriend Swift's expertise as he looks to navigate his new A-lister career.
His podcast New Heights alongside brother Jason has already proved a huge success.
