In mid-xOctober 2025, a rumor resurfaced online (archived, archived, archived) that singer Taylor Swift and her fiance, Kansas City Chiefs player Travis Kelce, posted a pregnancy announcement on social media featuring them holding up ultrasound images.

The image allegedly showing Swift and Kelce holding the ultrasound images traces back to at least March 2025, when one post (archived) received more than 22,000 reactions on Facebook, but the rumor recirculated after their engagement. For example, Facebook account USA Pulse Today posted the claim on Sept. 2, 2025. The post read:

JUST IN: “Baby NO.1 on the way”. Pop sensation Taylor Swift and NFL star Travis Kelce have announced that they are expecting their first child together. The couple, who have been making headlines with their high-profile relationship, celebrated the joyous occasion with a party in Florida. Social media has been flooded with congratulatory messages, as Swifties and NFL fans alike express their happiness for the couple

Some readers seemed to interpret the rumor as a factual recounting of real-life events. However, there was no evidence of Swift and Kelce announcing a pregnancy. Numerous versions of the rumor have spread in the past, which we’ve previously debunked.

Some early posts of the ultrasound images, in particular from March 2025, featured a watermark in the lower right corner indicating that the image originated from Grok’s AI image generation service; later iterations of the claim cropped out the watermark.
