Tony Romois just as enamored withTravis KelceandTaylor Swift’s romance as everyone else.
On Tuesday, the sports commentator, 43, revealed to reporters at CBS Sports' press day that he referred to Swift, 34, as the Kansas City Chiefs tight end’s wife during two December games because he’s hoping the couple is in it for the long haul.
“I root for them to get married,” Romo said ahead ofSuper Bowl LVIII, perEntertainment Tonight. “‘Cause they’re not married, guys, I was joking.”
The former Dallas Cowboys player firstreferred to Swift as Kelce’s wifeat the Bills vs. Chiefs game on Dec. 10. “As you see, Kelce’s wife, Taylor Swift, in the audience,” Romo said, before catching his mistake and correcting himself, adding, “Er, I’m sorry. Girlfriend!”
“Not yet,” another commentator replied while laughing at Romo’s mixup.

At the press conference, Romo added that both Swift and Kelce have a “humble heart,” before expressing his appreciation for the “Anti-Hero” singer and her relationship with the tight end.
“I just sit there and, you know, think about her gift and her ability to create and make something that so many people love, and I think it’s just really unique to find or be around anybody on Earth who has the ability to have a talent at that level,” he said.
Romo continued, “And so Travis has the same thing as a tight end, and you know, I root for them. I like them both and I think they’re both amazing people.”
