Colin Kaepernick’s mom thought he and Taylor Swift were end game — years before the pop star’s romance with Travis Kelce.
“When I was in the NFL, she told me that I should ask out Taylor Swift (long before Travis Kelce made his move) because we would be perfect together,” the ex-NFL player, 38, wrote of Tessa Kaepernick in his “Perilous Fight” memoir, published Tuesday.
While the athlete didn’t mean any “slight to Taylor,” he clarified the 36-year-old “was not [his] type.”
The retired quarterback did not specify exactly when this took place, but he played for the San Francisco 49ers between 2011 and 2016.
Diab, 42, revealed in August 2025 that they wed “years ago.”
Swift, for her part, started dating Kelce, 36, in the summer of 2023. The couple got engaged in August 2025 and married in July 2026.
