Are Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce house hunting in Ohio?
Lovebirds Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have reportedly toured at least two homes in Cleveland's Eastside suburbs in June.
The pop icon and football star were seen having lunch at a cute French bistro in Chagrin Falls, an idyllic village near Kelce's hometown in Cleveland Heights.
Sources told The Post that local consensus puts the pair in Hunting Valley, Ohio for their house hunt. The village in the Chagrin River Valley is known for its palatial properties and a 5 acre minimum.

While the median sale price in Cleveland is just $131,675, prices skyrocket in these outer suburbs. Trust funds and lacrosse scholarships abound in areas like historic Shaker Heights, bucolic Waite Hill, ritzy Hunting Valley and affluent Bratenahl — all of which potentially boast the perfect home for a post-NFL retirement and another feather in Swift's $80 million real estate cap.

David Ayers of The Agency compared the idyllic Eastside villages under the couple's potential consideration to the Hudson Valley in New York, for one sixteenth of the price.
'It's a very stealth wealth, old money, and it's really an amazingly kept secret that no one knows about,' Ayers told The Post.
Howard Hanna broker Adam Kaufman sells some of the area's most expensive properties. Kaufman was skeptical of the pair's prospective purchase, despite their dining adventure in Chagrin Falls.

'I think that rumor got going, and it really just escalated,' Kaufman said.
But Cleveland and its suburbs would, hypothetically, have a lot to offer the jet-setting couple, he added. The city offers a thriving arts scene, with enviable theatrical and orchestral offerings.
'It is an amazing place, and it's really starting to get the recognition it deserves,' he said, pointing to a strong seller's market in the area.
But should the pair consider an Ohio home, there are more than a few solid contenders.
