Travis Kelce confirmed that he and Taylor Swift have welcomed a new addition to their family shortly after tying the knot.
The NFL star and pop sensation celebrated their wedding in spectacular fashion when they exchanged vows in front of a star-studded guest list at Madison Square Garden on July 3.
Now, amid their newlywed bliss, Kelce revealed that he and his A-list wife have become proud owners of an adorable dog.
The pup, a white Samoyed named Wendy, made its first public appearance as it stars alongside the Kansas City Chiefs tight end in a campaign for Tommy Hilfiger.
Wendy appears alongside the three-time Super Bowl winner on the roof of the Plaza Hotel, lounging on a black-and-white sofa as Kelce poses in a navy peacoat and white turtleneck.
The fluffy canine also makes a cameo in a video for the campaign, following her famous dog dad through the iconic New York hotel.

The American fashion brand had been looking to cast a dog for the advert when Kelce volunteered his and Swift’s own, Vogue reported.
‘We figured, why not her? She crushed it and actually really fit into that Tommy aesthetic, too,’ Kelce told the outlet. ‘Those are some of my favorite shots.’
Kelce gushed over his gorgeous new pet, saying: ‘She lights up my day.’
The pet’s existence was first revealed by the Daily Mail in exclusive footage from inside the couple’s wedding, which showed a picture of the happy couple posing with their furry friend.
A source told the Daily Mail that ‘it seems that Travis made it happen’ regarding the dog.
In a 2025 episode of the Fitz & Whit podcast, Kelce’s brother Jason, 38, told hosts Ryan Fitzpatrick and Andrew Whitworth how much Swift has influenced Kelce’s interior design choices, sharing a story that inadvertently revealed the truth.
He said Kelce had gone all in on a pair of designer couches that he described as ‘green velvet, over-the-top couches.’
He pushed his brother on the price tag: ‘I’m not gonna say the dollar amount – but I’m like, dude, what are these couches?’

Clues about the pup’s identity have been mounting for months. It is Swift’s fourth pet

Kelce defended the purchase: ‘It’s an investment. It’s art, Jason.’ But when Jason came back to Kelce’s house around six months later, one of the couches had been pushed to the wall.
‘He just got a puppy,’ Jason told the podcast. ‘The puppy had chewed a hole in the back of it.’
Whitworth – himself a friend and former teammate of Kelce’s – couldn’t resist adding: ‘Investment gone! Investment’s over.’
Still, clues about the pup’s identity have been mounting for months.
In March, a white Samoyed was spotted at Westchester County Airport hopping out of Swift’s silver Chevy Suburban surrounded by her security detail.
The footage showed the happy-looking pooch jump down from the vehicle and sniff the ground as a security guard kept a tight grip on its leash.
Just months earlier, however, Swift had appeared on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon and denied having a dog in her life.

Asked about rumors she had been spotted walking a mystery dog, she shot it down: ‘I have never walked a dog in Florida or maybe ever,’ she told the late-night host.
The dog is now Swift’s fourth pet.
She famously has three cats – Meredith Grey, Olivia Benson and Benjamin Button.
The cats have appeared in her music videos and graced magazine covers, becoming celebrities in their own right.
