No one saw it coming: Chiefs players react to Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift's engagement news

Travis Kelce's Kansas City Chiefs teammates were reportedly blindsided by his proposal to Taylor Swift.

TMZ has broken the news that Kelce, 35, who serves as the tight end for the NFL team, reportedly kept his plans a secret from his teammate, Noah Gray. The latter told reporters this Wednesday that he learned of the news while scrolling on his Instagram the day before.

He was referring to Taylor Swift's post on Instagram on Tuesday, August 26, where Travis Kelce can be seen down on one knee, asking her to marry him. Gray, however, clarified that he didn't take it personally. Instead, he's ecstatic for his teammate and his future bride, who is also 35.

"I'm extremely happy for them," the 26-year-old said. "I'm not going to get too much more into their personal life but just know that I'm extremely happy for them and I'm sure everybody is. It's a beautiful thing."
