Taylor Swift Urges Travis Kelce: ‘Let’s Seek Therapy Together’
It seems that being the most-talked about woman in the world may have started to take a toll on Taylor Swift’s relationship with Travis Kelce.
Now, despite having only been together for six months, insiders suggest the pair are considering seeking help to keep their romance on track.
The level of pressure on them as a couple can be incredibly hard to handle,” we’re told. “They’re both overwhelmed and that’s got Taylor stressing about their future. She’s had so many relationships that start out great, which then crash and burn. She doesn’t want that to happen with Travis, so she’s thinking that couples’ therapy could be a good idea. That way, they can get expert help to protect their relationship against future problems.”
One of the last times we saw Travis and Taylor, both 34, together was at February’s Super Bowl, and despite the Kansas City Chiefs scraping a victory, Travis hit the headlines for all the wrong reasons after shouting at and pushing coach Andy Reid. As a result, fans began calling for Taylor to end things with the athlete, saying his aggression on the field was a “red flag”.
However, our source says that Travis is much more in tune with his emotions than he might have shown, adding that he’s willing to sit down with a therapist if it will ensure that things with Taylor stays strong.
“Travis is actually very emotionally intelligent,” we’re told. “He’s more than willing to talk about his feelings, and he sees the value in having a professional help them. It’s not something they’re doing as a reaction to having any huge issues in their relationship – they’re still very much in the honeymoon stage – but they’ve agreed that the best thing they can do is get into counselling early, to safeguard their relationship before problems start.”
With one an international pop star, and the other a sports star at the top of his game, the pair are constantly travelling, but life coach and boundaries expert Michelle Elman tells us there are ways to tackle the issues a long-distance relationship brings.
“For it to work, both parties need to be invested and put in the extra time and energy,” she tells us.
“Nothing happens by accident, so putting intentional rules or boundaries in place can really help counter the ‘out of sight, out of mind’ effect. One of the most difficult things in any long-distance relationship is that when issues arise, couples hold them in, not wanting to ruin their time together. A therapist could really help with this.”
