Millionaire Matchmaker Patti Stanger Wants a Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce Engagement Soon and have a baby

Patti Stanger also reveals why Kristin Cavallari and her younger boyfriend, Mark Estes, don’t quite get her stamp of approval.

Taylor Swift’s love story is one Patti Stanger wants to go all the way — down the aisle.

The reality TV star, who rose to fame with the long-running Bravo series, The Millionaire Matchmaker, tells ET’s Brice Sander that she’s rooting for Swift’s romance with Travis Kelce.

“I just want them to succeed and get an engagement ring by July,” Stanger says. “I’m rooting for it.”

Stanger further pointed out that, after spending years in a private relationship, Swift is no longer keeping her romance under wraps. “He’s at the top of his game and she’s at the top of her game,” Stanger notes, “and they’re two separate careers and I’m just praying for this. This is the wedding I want.”

However, when it comes to potentially forever couples, there’s another celebrity pair Stanger does not quite co-sign: Kristin Cavallari and Mark Estes.

“He’s 24. She’s 37,” Stanger says. “I love her to death. She’s my girl crush. I’m like play with it until you can’t play with it anymore, but come on.”

In Stanger’s opinion, an age gap in a relationship tends to spoil over time.

“I don’t think they work after a while because someone’s gonna want something they didn’t get, whether it’s children or they want to retire or they don’t want to work anymore, like, it’s not always great,” Stanger explains. “Now, that’s not to say that several relationships haven’t worked. It could be karma, past life, whatever you want to call it, but I do think that a lot of them — it’s a lot. I feel like I’m at one level, you’re at another level, and even though we have sexual chemistry and we’re working out in the house, what’s it gonna be like in 10 years from now?”

But, for right now, Stanger does want Cavallari to have a good time.

“I’m not putting her down. I like Kristin. She needs some fun,” Stanger says. “She got off a divorce. Jay [Cutler] already got a girl. I’m OK with that.”

Stanger’s main issue with the situation? “He’s hot as hell, but having a baby talk at 24 is a little too early,” she explains. “That was the only part that I didn’t like — the baby talk.” The mom of three recently revealed that she’s contemplated having a child with Estes despite not wanting to have more kids with other men she’s dated since her divorce. However, she clarified they’re in no rush nor does she plan to freeze her eggs. “We had the kid conversation because I’ve had the kid conversation with anyone I go out with,” she explained on her podcast, Let’s Be Honest. “Anyone I go on a date with in the last four years, that comes up because I’m not trying to waste someone’s time.”

Meanwhile, fans can hear Stanger dole out more unfiltered relationship advice on her new show, Patti Stanger: The Matchmaker, with Bachelor alum Nick Viall, airing Thursdays on The CW.

“Post-pandemic, we’re in a love pandemic,” she says. “…There’s so many mistakes everyone’s making and I just couldn’t take it anymore. I was like, ‘I have to sound the alarm, get the troops going,’ so The CW was so nice to me. They gave me this show called Patti Stanger: The Matchmaker, where we’re gonna break patterns in people’s love lives, so it’s for everybody. You don’t have to be a millionaire.”

It’s also not lost on Stanger that she’s returning to TV at a difficult time for dating.

“People are staying in their houses sitting on their TV sets,” she says. “…They’re not getting out of their house and they’re not meeting anyone. You need to smell, taste, touch, feel, not FaceTime, not just text forever and never meet anyone. How are you gonna get in a relationship? And this is everybody. This is not just one generation — we’re talking older, younger, it doesn’t matter. It’s all over the world.”
