A professional wrestler who used to employ superstar Taylor Swift to babysit his three children has had his say on her marriage to Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.
Swift and Kelce, both 36, tied the knot in a star-studded ceremony at Madison Square Garden in New York City on Friday, July 3.
Jeff Jarrett, 58, who rose to fame in the 1990s as an active member of the WWE roster (then WWF) throughout its iconic “Attitude Era,” utilized Swift’s babysitting services back when they both resided in Nashville, Tennessee, during the now-billionaire singer-songwriter’s formative teenage years.
Swift’s dedication to her craft has resulted in her becoming one of the most successful recording artists of all time. It seems that work ethic began when she was just a child, having looked after Jarrett’s kids when she was an up-and-coming star.
Jarrett has spoken out about Swift’s relationship with Kelce and the possibility of the couple having children in the future.
Jeff Jarrett Says Swift & Kelce’s Kids Will Win the ‘Genetic Lottery’
GettySpeaking to TMZ Sports, Jeff Jarrett said that, despite his babysitting arrangement with Taylor Swift coming to an end many years ago, he has remained in touch with the singer-songwriter and her family — even after she found global megastardom.
Jarrett also said that, while it’s none of his business regarding whether or not Swift and Travis Kelce decide to have children, should they choose to, the kids will win the “genetic lottery,” given their mother’s brilliant artistry and father’s world class athleticism.
The wrestler also described Swift’s relationship with Kelce as “very good for her” and praised her for being “a sweet girl.”
TMZ also asked Jarrett whether or not he was in attendance for Swift and Kelce’s wedding last week, but it was a question he tactfully declined to answer out of respect for his former employee.
