On August 26, 2025, pop icon Taylor Swift and NFL star Travis Kelce confirmed what fans around the world had been hoping to hear. The couple is officially engaged. The news was revealed through a set of dreamy photos from a garden proposal that quickly went viral.

Their announcement wasn’t just another celebrity headline. It felt like a cultural event. Within minutes, the pictures racked up millions of likes and comments across social media, with fans describing the couple as “modern-day royalty.”

The engagement is the latest chapter in a relationship that first caught public attention back in 2023. Kelce had openly admitted on his podcast that he wanted to give Swift a bracelet with his phone number after one of her Eras Tour shows. At the time, it seemed like a crush, but it quickly blossomed into real romance.

From there, the two were often seen supporting each other. Swift was spotted at multiple Chiefs games, cheering Kelce on from the stands, while Kelce attended her concerts. Their bond grew stronger over holidays, family visits, red-carpet appearances, and even his Super Bowl win, where she was right by his side. Over time, they became one of the most talked-about couples in both entertainment and sports.

Interestingly, their engagement wasn’t just good news for fans, it also made some people a lot of money. On prediction markets like Polymarket, users had been betting for months on whether the couple would get engaged in 2025. One bettor put down $12,000 on the outcome and ended up walking away with more than $40,000 in profit when the news broke.

Nigerian skit maker, Lord Lamba, shares a bold claim that women who pay their bills do not listen to men.

The skit maker took to social media and shared: “If she is able to pay all her bills without your assistance, she cannot listen to you.”

Fans then reacted and shared their thoughts on this claim. Some stated that it is meant to be equal and that a woman does not have to be unable to pay her bills before she can listen to or need a man.

Senator Ned Nwoko recently complained openly to his wife Regina Daniels’ mother, Rita Daniels, about the actress’ busy work schedule. The lawmaker, who visited his wife on a movie set, expressed concern that Regina hardly takes time to rest because of her acting engagements. Speaking in front of the film crew, he noted that his main issue was her refusal to slow down.

When Rita Daniels advised him to address the matter privately, Nwoko explained that at home, Regina often dismisses his worries by telling him, “You’re not my father.” Amused yet serious, he replied, “I’m your husband”.

The moment left Regina embarrassed as the exchange played out in public. She quickly went on her knees to apologise to her husband, promising to make changes. Later, the actress took to Instagram to share the video, jokingly calling her husband “petty and cute”.
