Swift and Kelce began dating in summer 2023 after Kelce’s attempted friendship-bracelet outreach at an Eras Tour show. Their August 2025 Instagram post announced a garden-proposal engagement. In the week before the wedding they donated $26 million to 20 charities, including Feeding America and the ASPCA.
