Travis Kelce is anticipated to propose to Taylor Swift this summer, with many fans assuming he intends to do so before the new NFL season begins in September.
However, an insider told Heat Magazine that, while the vocalist is optimistic the proposal will come, the wait is making her worried.
According to the source, the athlete is waiting for the right opportunity to ask the question and is avoiding fan pressure.
"Taylor has every faith that Travis will pop the question eventually, but it is making her a little nervous that it's dragged on so long," a source told me.
They continued, "The talk amongst her friends is that she'd like them to be officially engaged by the start of the football season, but that's only a few months away, so she's resigned to the possibility that he'll postpone it until after that."
"Bottom line is that Travis has the entire summer to do this but he's not one to respond to pressure or expectation - that's a big reason why he's held off this long already and is still waiting for the perfect moment."
The insider went on to say that the "longer this goes on, the more expectation builds, which they both find enormously irritating at this point, truth be told."
"People in their world know better than to bother them at this point, even though Travis's brother Jason likes to tease him, and his teammates have been betting on when he'll do the right thing and get down on one knee."
"But overall, they're being left alone and not pestered about this stuff, at least not as much as they were up until a few months ago."
