Portnoy has shared his hopes of a potential romantic gesture from Kansas City Chiefs tight end Kelce ahead of his Superbowl match later today.

In a conversation with TMZSports, Portnoy stated that he would love to see Kelce propose to Swift if his team emerges victorious, calling it a "great move."

"They kind of are the first couple of the United States," Portnoy said. "The Super Bowl is as big as it gets, so I actually like that. I actually like that move."

However, the businessman, a known Swiftie, is not confident that it will happen, as he notes that Swift is very private.

According to the news outlet, Portnoy shared that Kelce getting down on one knee may be too big a moment for the "Blank Space" singer as she'd most probably like it to be private.

Many Swifties may be pushing for the post-game romantic gesture, but it's all up to Kelce, who has chosen to keep his cards close to his chest.

Over the week, reporters tried to get him to spill if he had plans to propose to Swift while asking if he had recently gone shopping for a diamond.

However, Kelce tactfully sidestepped the question and instead shared his take on whether diamonds are a "good investment."

"Yeah, why not?" Kelce said, per TMZ Sports. "I mean, these Super Bowl rings are filled with them, so yeah."

When the reporter followed up by asking if he'd been in the market for a rock, the footballer doubled down more in his quest to dodge the question.

"I like earrings, I like necklaces, stuff like that," Kelce replied.

The championship showdown promises not to be a walk in the park for Kelce and his teammates as they look to secure a third straight title win against the Eagles in New Orleans.
