Travis Kelce knows what he wants — and doesn’t want — in a partner.
As rumors continue to swirl that he is dating Taylor Swift, the NFL star told Kristin Cavallari’s “Let’s Be Honest” podcast listeners Tuesday that “high-maintenance” women are a major red flag for him.
“I’m out the door. I’ve never been a part of that,” he said of dating people who are not “grounded.”
The Kansas City Chiefs tight end added, “If you’re arrogant or you think you’re snooty or higher or above people, that’s the biggest turnoff for me.”
Kelce, 33, added that he is looking for someone as “kindhearted and sweet” as his mom, Donna Kelce.
“My mother is an absolute angel, so I kind of base … who I look at in a significant other based off of … my mother,” he gushed. “You’ve got to have some sort of sweetness to you.”
The athlete noted that he does not “immediately” fall for love interests, as it “take[s him] some time.”
He explained, “I feel like you’ve really got to know somebody to take that step and really be committed and be in full throttle. I can’t just meet somebody and automatically think that forever is just a day away.
“I think that’s too much and I’m setting myself up for failure,” Travis continued. “I think it takes quite a bit of time for somebody to really get to know somebody and really get to find that affection and love.”
The two-time Super Bowl champ thinks “the stars will align” when it comes to finding the one.
“I like to believe that all that stuff will come genuine and natural, and I won’t have to think about getting into that part of my life ahead of time,” he said. “That’s what I’m banking on.”

Travis, who previously dated sports reporter Taylor Nicole, attempted to give Swift his phone number during her Eras Tour stop in Kansas City, Mo., in July.
Two months later, the Messenger reported that the duo have been “hanging out” for a few weeks — although neither have confirmed the connection.
Travis’ brother, Jason Kelce, did speak to the speculation last week, telling “Thursday Night Football” viewers that his sibling was “just having fun.”
Notably, Swift, 33, was spotted wearing an opal necklace earlier this month, which is Travis’ birthstone as a Libra.
