The longtime best friends have reportedly made a pact to have kids around the same time — and become godmothers to each other’s children.
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce said “I do” at Madison Square Garden on July 3, and speculation is already swirling about whether children could be next for the newlyweds. Kelce has shown glimpses of his soft side toward kids through his close bond with his brother Jason Kelce’s daughters, fueling chatter that fatherhood is on his mind. Now, a new report suggests any future Swift-Kelce baby news could land around the same time as a pregnancy for her closest friend, Selena Gomez.
Swift And Gomez Share A Bond Built Over Nearly Two Decades
Swift and Gomez’s friendship dates back to 2008, when the two were introduced through mutual ties to the Jonas Brothers family. Since then, the pair has remained inseparable, with Swift even delivering remarks at Gomez’s wedding to producer Benny Blanco. A source close to Swift told the Daily Mail that the two stars share an unusually tight bond, comparing their relationship to that of sisters.

A Pact For Their Future Babies
Both women have recently walked down the aisle — Gomez tied the knot with Blanco in September 2025 — and insiders suggest the timing of their next chapters may not be a coincidence. According to the same source, Swift and Gomez have discussed wanting their children to arrive close together so the kids could essentially grow up as one extended family. The insider indicated the two have an informal understanding that each would take on the role of godmother for the other’s future children, cementing their bond into the next generation.
What Gomez And Swift Have Said About Wanting Kids
Gomez has been open about her desire for a big family. Speaking on the podcast Friends Keep Secrets, she shared that she envisions having as many as four children down the road. Her inspiration reportedly traces back to a scene from the film The Family Stone, where Diane Keaton’s character presides over a lively family dinner table surrounded by her children. Gomez has said the image stuck with her, and that she hopes to recreate that same full-table moment someday when she’s older.
Swift, meanwhile, hasn’t confirmed plans for children outright, but fans have pointed to her music for clues. On “WihLih Li t,” a track from The Life of a Showgirl, she sings about wanting a partner, a couple of kids, and a neighborhood full of little versions of him — lyrics many have interpreted as a window into her personal hopes for the future.
Swift’s History As A Godmother
If Swift does eventually take on the godmother role for Gomez’s children, it won’t be new territory. She has already served as godmother to Jaime King’s son, Leo Thames, born in 2015, as well as to the children of Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds. Given her track record, fans see the possibility of a Gomez-Swift baby pact as a natural extension of relationships she’s already nurtured for years.
While neither Swift nor Gomez has confirmed pregnancy plans, the idea of two of pop culture’s most talked-about friendships expanding into motherhood — together — has fans buzzing. Whether or not the timelines actually align, the report adds another layer to a friendship that’s spanned red carpets, weddings, and now, potentially, nurseries.
