The NFL star added, “It’s been really fun telling everybody who I’m going to be spending the rest of my life with.”
Also in the clip, Travis’ brother and cohost, Jason Kelce, led a round of applause for Travis and Swift, also 35, calling their engagement announcement the “Instagram post heard ‘round the world.”

Jewelry expert Nilesh Rakholia estimated the ring to be worth $950,000 to $1,270,000. “The stone itself looks to be easily in the 7–10 carat range, which immediately places it among the most iconic celebrity engagement rings,” Rakholia told Us Weekly.
Jason, 37, previously shared his reaction to the big news at the top of the Wednesday, August 27, episode of “New Heights.”
“There is one gigantic piece of new news that just hit the waves,” he said. “We did record this podcast on Monday, which is Travis’ one day off.

The proposal heard ’round the world. F*** yeah!”
During an appearance on the Tuesday, September 2, episode of the “Bussin’ With the Boys” podcast, the retired Philadelphia Eagles center said he hopes that Travis brother will enlist him as his best man at his wedding.
“Hopefully I’m the best man. We’ll see. Trav has a lot of friends,” Jason said. “I’m just hoping to get the opportunity.”
