Rumours are running rife that Travis Kelce is set to pop the question to Taylor Swift if the Kansas City Chiefs secure back-to-back wins at the Super Bowl in New Orleans on Sunday.
Unsurprisingly, there have been bets placed on virtually every aspect of the game, even how much Swift will appear on-screen.
People are also betting on whether the most famous couple in the world will up the celebration ante if Kelce's team brings home another victory - in the form of an engagement ring.
The NFL star was very coy with reporters who asked him whether or not he will be popping the question at halftime at the Super Bowl.
Speaking on the Jimmy & Nath Breakfast Show on 2DayFM on Monday in the lead up to the game, Travis's father Ed shed more light on the speculation.
The athlete's father, who rarely comments on his son's relationship with the Midnights singer, appeared to shut down any notion of a Super Bowl engagement.
'That’s just noise. That's white noise, meaningless. Okay, I'm never going to be announcing the engagement on a radio show in Australia,' Ed told the breakfast hosts.
He did, however, share the advice he'd given to Travis regarding a potential proposal.
'My advice to him would be, and I'm not saying I have any knowledge that this is going to happen, okay. I think your engagement needs to be separate from any other event. It has to be about the two of you.'
In October 2024, the couple were forced to hit back at the 'unfounded speculation', that they were already engaged after football presenter John Aikman referred to Swift as Kelce's 'missus' on-air.
But that has done little to quell the rampant speculation about when and how they are likely to have the intimate moment.
'Is Travis a romantic person?' Nath asked Ed.
'If he were to propose to Taylor, would it be something extravagant? Or would it be something subtle and beautiful in a hotel room with a ring of roses on the bed?'
'I think it would be romantic,' Ed replied. 'Yes, he is a romantic person.'
In an uncharacteristic slip of the tongue, Kelce's dad said that any proposal between the celebrity pair would require two parts.
'Well, there's gonna be something extravagant, [and] something more private,' he said.
It will be the pop superstar's second consecutive Super Bowl attendance in New Orleans, while Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs are playing for the fifth time in six years.
'Last year, she didn't know much about football,' Ed said. 'And yeah, she would ask me…she would sit between her dad and me. She was always looking for, you know, a little bit more understanding about this, that or the other.'
He said Swift has become something of a professional commentator since her relationship with his son began 18 months ago.
'So [we’re at] the last home game that the Chiefs had against Texas, and they get down in the red zone, but they can't put the ball over the goal and bring out the field goal team.

'I'm like "I really hate field goals. In the red zone, you should be getting a touchdown", and she says to me: "No, I'll take the points."
'[She] sounds like a seasoned football gambler. A year ago, [she] didn’t know field goals. Now you're talking about all this football jargon. So she's embraced the game and loves the game.'
In a rare style shocker, the pop star was briefly seen during the Fox Sports pre-game show in what appears to be an monochromatic white look, featuring a blazer over shorts with thigh high boots.
Kelce too had a serious fashion fail, as he showed up wearing an eye-popping orange sparkly suit that looked like it was a few sizes too big for him.
He paired the baggy look with some black and white loafers, big shades, and an enormous gold rose pin.
