If you thought Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s relationship couldn’t get more magical, think again. According to numerology, their August 10th engagement date isn’t just romantic, it’s cosmically-aligned.
And with a little help from our unique numerology wedding planning guide, Marriage by the Numbers, yours can be too! Here's the scoop...
Following news of the couple’s engagement, numerologists quickly pointed out that the proposal date adds up to a “9-1-9” day. This is found by reducing the date (08/10/2025) to its core numbers, 9 and 1.

These powerful numbers symbolize new beginnings, big dreams, connection, and the collective – a.k.a your friends and family, says Rebecca Scolnick, a numerologist and author of The Witch’s Book of Numbers: Enhance Your Magic With Numerology and Marriage by the Numbers. It’s exactly the kind of energy you want to harness at the precipice of a new marriage!
These numbers also resonate with the values that Kelce and Swift have in common, including their shared devotion to family and friends, and their willingness to dream big.
But the cosmic blessings don’t stop there for this destined duo. It looks like Travis and Taylor’s “Marriage Number” is also fated for success.
A couple’s Marriage Number is found by first adding up their “life path numbers,” the sum of their birthdates. In this case the numbers 6 – Travis’s life path number – and 7 – Taylor’s life path number:
6 + 7 = 13, which reduces as 1+3 to equal 4
Travis and Taylor have a Marriage Number of 4. As it turns out, this is very fortuitous for the celebrity couple!
According to our favorite guide, Marriage by the Numbers: Planning Your Wedding Using Numerology, written by Scolnick, a Marriage Number of 4 is a powerhouse of potential:
“[The number 4] rules over sturdy foundations, the home, and building a life together." [As a couple, 4s are] “the ones who run a business together,” she writes. They’re the ones “who host an annual dinner party,” and give everyone else something to talk about.
This sounds spot on to us, especially considering Swift's recent appearance on Kelce’s podcast to pitch her new album, “The Life of a Showgirl,” together. And timing this release just days ahead of their engagement news? Talk about a business-savvy power couple!

This book even has suggestions on how to arrange your decor and wedding altar, tips for the seating chart, and sample wedding ceremony scripts - all planned with your personal numerology.
We're already counting down the days until this star-powered ceremony, although no details have been released yet. According to the Marriage by the Numbers wedding planning guide, Kelce and Swift may want to pick a wedding date that reduces to a number 4, to align with their Marriage Number.
This opens up a lot of potential dates in the new year, including a few that fall awfully close to National Swiftie Day (on November 13th), Taylor Swift’s birthday (on December 13th), Travis Kelce’s birthday (on October 5), and many of Swift’s record release dates (in October).
Of course, if they want to schedule around these important dates instead, there are several dates each month to choose from throughout the year.
Our prediction is that the couple will choose a date that's outside of Kelce’s demanding NFL schedule, and that gives them enough time to plan something special. Maybe sometime in June?
June 2026’s luckiest “4” wedding dates are June 6th, 15th, and 24th. We expect the big event to land on one of these dates... but we’ll have to wait and see if we guessed right!
