20 MINUTES AGO: Kansas City Rejoices as Overwhelmed Austin Swift Welcomes First Child With Girlfriend Sydney Ness — Fans Stunned by Baby’s Name and Striking Resemblance to Travis Kelce

Kansas City has a brand new reason to celebrate — and it’s not just football or Taylor Swift’s latest chart-topper. The city erupted in excitement late Wednesday night after news broke that Austin Swift, younger brother of global pop sensation Taylor Swift, has officially become a father.

Austin, 33, and his longtime girlfriend, model Sydney Ness, welcomed their first child in a private ceremony attended by close family and friends.

But it wasn’t just the surprise birth that had fans buzzing — it was the baby’s name and uncanny resemblance to one of the city’s most beloved figures: Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.

The Name That Stunned Everyone

Though the couple had kept most of the pregnancy under wraps, they shocked fans and even family with the baby’s full name: Travis Augustine Swift-Ness — a heartfelt tribute that immediately sparked speculation and praise across social media.

“Naming their son Travis — are they hinting at a deeper Swift-Kelce bond?!” one X (formerly Twitter) user asked, referencing Taylor Swift’s high-profile relationship with Kelce.

Another fan chimed in, “This baby just broke the internet and he can’t even walk yet.”

Sources close to the Swift family said the name was chosen as a show of affection and respect for Kelce, who has become close to the Swift family over the last year as his romance with Taylor blossomed in the public eye.

“He Looks Just Like Travis”

As if the name wasn’t enough, photos leaked to celebrity blog PopPulse reportedly show baby Travis bearing a “shockingly strong resemblance” to Kelce — from the chubby cheeks and dimpled smile to what some are calling “future NFL eyebrows.”

“It’s eerie. If you told me that was Travis Kelce’s baby pic, I’d believe you,” said one commenter under the trending hashtag #BabyKelceSwift.

While there is, of course, no biological relation between the baby and Kelce, fans are loving the visual parallel — and leaning into the adorable narrative that the Swift-Kelce connection is now multi-generational.

A Private But Joyful Birth

Insiders say the couple welcomed the baby in a “quiet, emotional” setting in Los Angeles before traveling to Kansas City, where they’ve been staying with Taylor and Kelce. The new parents are reportedly “over the moon,” with Taylor described as “a proud and slightly overwhelmed auntie.”

“Austin is absolutely smitten,” a family source told People. “He’s been waiting for this moment for years, and he couldn’t be happier.”

Kelce himself has yet to publicly comment on the tribute, but sources close to the athlete say he’s “deeply touched and honored” by the naming decision.

Kansas City’s Swiftie-Kelce Era Gets Even Stronger

The city of Kansas City — which has embraced Taylor Swift as one of its own since her romance with Kelce began — is once again rallying in celebration. Local businesses put up banners reading “Welcome Baby Travis!” and Swifties have started organizing donation drives in honor of the child’s birth.

The official Chiefs Twitter account even posted a cheeky message:
“We might need to draft him early 👶❤️ #BabySwiftNess”

As Kansas City continues to ride the wave of Swift-Kelce fever, one thing is certain — Baby Travis Augustine Swift-Ness is already a star in his own right.
