'Not a showmance': Body language expert reveals real truth behind Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's chemistry
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's podcast debut on 'New Heights' has sparked a frenzy (Getty Images) Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's first podcast appearance as a couple on New Heights with Jason Kelce was always going to make waves. Between Taylor announcing her upcoming album The Life of a Showgirl and the couple's playful back-and-forth, fans couldn't stop dissecting their chemistry. Now, body language expert Inbaal Honigman has shared her verdict on what the small details actually reveal about the pair's bond. Eye contact, laughter, and gestures reveal genuine intimacy Inbaal Honigman explained to HELLO! that the way Travis Kelce praised his girlfriend showed humility and admiration. 'When Taylor speaks of her passion for songwriting, Travis calls her 'the greatest songwriter of all time,'' she observed. 'He looks down as he says it – a humble, submissive gesture showing he's in awe of her.' View this post on Instagram A post shared by ColorsTV (@colorstv) Taylor's reaction added another layer. 'Taylor, also looking down, raises her eyes to meet his, creating a moment of close, comfortable eye contact,' Honigman noted. 'She leans her head towards him in an 'air cuddle' and uses a smaller voice to thank him, showing vulnerability.' The expert also highlighted the unplanned nature of their laughter. When Taylor shyly referred to Travis as her 'boyfriend,' Honigman said, 'Taylor giggles and glances at her feet – shy about the revelation, knowing fans will go wild. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Drive, Sail & Save – The Budget-Friendly Way to Explore Europe!

Why the couple's dynamic feels authentic, not performative According to Honigman, nothing about their body language suggested a publicity stunt.

'Travis' shoulder is always very slightly behind Taylor's, showing he has his girlfriend's back – protective, supportive, and loving,' Honigman said.

When Twinkle Khanna recalled moving to her grandmother's home after Rajesh Khanna and Dimple Kapadia's separation: ‘My mother and aunt shared a bed, Rinke and I slept on the floor'
Actor-turned-author Twinkle Khanna , daughter of Dimple Kapadia and Rajesh Khanna , has never shied away from being candid about her childhood. At her book launch in September 2018, she spoke about how her father's career decline and her parents' separation shaped her view of life. What stood out most for her was the way her mother held the family together. "Everything I write about seems to be about women finding their place in the world, about the chafing between what a woman is and what she is meant to be," Twinkle had said. Moving to her grandmother's house Twinkle painted a vivid picture of those transitional days when they shifted to her grandmother's home. Dimple and her sister shared a bed, while Twinkle and her younger sister Rinke slept on mattresses on the floor. And yet, there was routine, order, and resilience. Every morning at 5 AM, Dimple would quietly roll out a Jane Fonda workout tape and begin exercising on mute, careful not to disturb anyone. For Twinkle, that small detail became a lifelong lesson in discipline and grace under pressure. Strength behind the smile Dimple was working three shifts at the time, but never once let her struggles seep into her children's lives. Twinkle remembered her mother's quiet strength with admiration. "For me, it was very clear at that point that a woman doesn't have to rely on anyone besides herself," Twinkle reflected. "Men were okay, it was enjoyable to have them like a dessert, but they were certainly not the main course." Rajesh Khanna's 10th death anniversary: When Dimple Kapadia spoke fondly about her ex-husband: 'We may have separated…' Dimple on Twinkle's maturity Interestingly, Dimple herself has often spoken about the support she received from her daughter. At an event in Jaipur, she recalled how Twinkle stepped into the role of caretaker even as a child. "She's an amazing child. She must have been all of seven or eight when I got separated," Dimple said. "The kind of maturity... She was only wanting to take care of me, to see if I was okay, if everything was alright with me. There are lots of things I can't say because of you know what... But she was like my friend. Then she turned into a monster mother."
