Dwayne Johnson has joked about wanting Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift to start a family, teasing the newly engaged couple during an appearance on the New Heights podcast.

The 53-year-old actor appeared on the show, hosted by NFL brothers Travis and Jason Kelce, where he discussed fatherhood and his love for being a dad. Johnson is father to three daughters — Simone, 24, Jasmine, 9, and Tiana, 6.

“My babies, just like — you know, Jason, and one day you’ll know, Trav — babies are everything,” Johnson said. Jason, who has four daughters with wife Kylie, agreed, saying that becoming a father shifted his priorities completely. “It’s like, my entire hierarchy of priorities is completely shifted. It’s crazy. You’ll see, Trav, it’s crazy,” Jason said.

Laughing, Johnson added, “We’re putting that voodoo on you and Taylor right now,” jokingly suggesting the couple might be next to have children.

Travis Kelce, 36, proposed to pop star Taylor Swift, 35, in August. The couple announced their engagement with an Instagram post showing a rose-filled proposal. Since then, speculation about their future family plans has continued.

Jason Kelce previously said on the podcast that their mother, Donna Kelce, has been subtly encouraging Travis to have children. “Mom’s always had Travis number one,” Jason joked, before Travis added, “Right now, Mom has Jason no. 1 because he has kids.”

The conversation drew laughter from fans and guests, including former NFL player Deion Sanders, who playfully asked Travis, “What you waiting on, Dad?”

Taylor Swift has also hinted at her hopes for a family in her song “Wi$h Li$t” from The Life of a Showgirl, where she sings about dreaming of “a couple kids” and settling down with a partner.
