In the past, Swift has made mixed statements regarding whether she would ever have kids.

Back in 2012, the "Out of the Woods" hitmaker revealed she would love to have a "minimum of four" children; however, in 2014, the singer seemed to do a 180, saying she wasn't certain if she would have kids.

"I don't know if I'll have kids," Swift told InStyle Magazine (per PopSugar). "Inevitably, there will be strange men pointing giant cameras at them from the time they are babies."

According to Page Six, in 2019, the singer also avoided discussing having kids in an interview, simply stating that she is "not going to answer that."

"And I told him repeatedly, you know, you could do it on the side of the road, do it any place that makes it a special event ... when you get down on one knee and ask her to marry you," he continued.

Amid news of Swift's engagement to Kelce, her former close pal, Blake Lively, has yet to publicly congratulate her on the milestone, despite being active on social media.

The "Gossip Girl" star turned 38 on Monday and took to Instagram to share several goodwill messages from her friends.

Some of her latest posts have followed the announcement by Swift and Kelce, so that her continued silence on the matter seems to confirm that their relationship has soured over the actress's legal feud with her former co-star, Justin Baldoni.

Unlike Lively, other celebrities, including Gigi Hadid, Karlie Kloss, and Cara Delevingne, have either publicly congratulated Swift on her engagement or reacted to her posts.

It remains unknown if the actress has actually had any private contact with him.
