BREAKING NEWS: Millionaire matchmaker Patti Stanger reveals engagement date Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce Will have a baby soonđ±
Patti Stanger also reveals why Kristin Cavallari and her younger boyfriend, Mark Estes, donât quite get her stamp of approval.
Taylor Swiftâs love story is one Patti Stanger wants to go all the way â down the aisle.
The reality TV star, who rose to fame with the long-running Bravo series, The Millionaire Matchmaker, tells ETâs Brice Sander that sheâs rooting for Swiftâs romance with Travis Kelce.
âI just want them to succeed and get an engagement ring by July,â Stanger says. âIâm rooting for it.â
Stanger further pointed out that, after spending years in a private relationship, Swift is no longer keeping her romance under wraps. âHeâs at the top of his game and sheâs at the top of her game,â Stanger notes, âand theyâre two separate careers and Iâm just praying for this. This is the wedding I want.â

However, when it comes to potentially forever couples, thereâs another celebrity pair Stanger does not quite co-sign: Kristin Cavallari and Mark Estes.
âHeâs 24. Sheâs 37,â Stanger says. âI love her to death. Sheâs my girl crush. Iâm like play with it until you canât play with it anymore, but come on.â
In Stangerâs opinion, an age gap in a relationship tends to spoil over time.
âI donât think they work after a while because someoneâs gonna want something they didnât get, whether itâs children or they want to retire or they donât want to work anymore, like, itâs not always great,â Stanger explains. âNow, thatâs not to say that several relationships havenât worked. It could be karma, past life, whatever you want to call it, but I do think that a lot of them â itâs a lot. I feel like Iâm at one level, youâre at another level, and even though we have sexual chemistry and weâre working out in the house, whatâs it gonna be like in 10 years from now?â

âIâm not putting her down. I like Kristin. She needs some fun,â Stanger says. âShe got off a divorce. Jay [Cutler] already got a girl. Iâm OK with that.â
Stangerâs main issue with the situation? âHeâs hot as hell, but having a baby talk at 24 is a little too early,â she explains. âThat was the only part that I didnât like â the baby talk.â The mom of three recently revealed that sheâs contemplated having a child with Estes despite not wanting to have more kids with other men sheâs dated since her divorce. However, she clarified theyâre in no rush nor does she plan to freeze her eggs. âWe had the kid conversation because Iâve had the kid conversation with anyone I go out with,â she explained on her podcast, Letâs Be Honest. âAnyone I go on a date with in the last four years, that comes up because Iâm not trying to waste someoneâs time.â
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.
âPost-pandemic, weâre in a love pandemic,â she says. ââŠThereâs so many mistakes everyoneâs making and I just couldnât take it anymore. I was like, âI have to sound the alarm, get the troops going,â so The CW was so nice to me. They gave me this show called Patti Stanger: The Matchmaker, where weâre gonna break patterns in peopleâs love lives, so itâs for everybody. You donât have to be a millionaire.â
Itâs also not lost on Stanger that sheâs returning to TV at a difficult time for dating.
âPeople are staying in their houses sitting on their TV sets,â she says. ââŠTheyâre not getting out of their house and theyâre 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 â weâre talking older, younger, it doesnât matter. Itâs all over the world.â
