Stunning NFL reporters who holidayed with Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift give precious insight on offseason vacation
NFL reporters Erin Andrews and Charissa Thompson have revealed the truth behind their vacation with Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift. Fans of the power couple were sent into a frenzy last week after the Chiefs star went Instagram official with Swift by sharing a photo dump of their 'offseason adventures '. Among the pictures shared by Kelce, NFL reporters Andrews and Thompson were seen on vacation with the couple and their own respective partners. Now, in a recent episode of their podcast 'Calm Down with Erin and Charissa' the duo offered an insight into the trip and showered praise upon the global pop star. Thompson said: 'I will say this: she's everything that I'd ever hoped and dreamed that she could've been and more. 'For those of you who have listened to this podcast for the five years that we have had it, you'll know our great affinity for Taylor, pre-Travis. We advocated for her to give him a chance - that clearly worked out! They are so happy and adorable. 'So when the opportunity came about for all of us to spend time together and go on vacation, we were elated to have time with them. But also, in general, to see what she was all about. 'Their lives are so public so it was very important for Erin and I not to say anything. It's important for us to let them dictate the narrative on things they do in their personal life. 'I'm not going to elaborate too much on it other than saying that she is a dream and I adore her and I'm so happy that they make each other happy. Andrews chimed in and said: 'We're so protective of them and their privacy and what they deserve, so that's why we never said anything or planned on saying anything. 'That's one of my favorite photos from the trip that we all took together. And I'll echo it! She's a 20 out of 20. She is so much fun. 'We love them, we are happy for them and we are happy to report back that, yes, the long awaited meeting did happen and it exceeded expectations because she is as advertised and a whole lot more'. Kelce and Swift, who have dominated headlines since their romance became public knowledge back in September 2023, look smitten in a number of the photos the NFL star shared on Thursday. In one photo, the couple posed alongside Thompson, Andrews and their partners in the snow - with the whole group wrapped up as they braced the cold. Though Thompson and Andrews only featured once in the photo dump, Kelce and Swift were pictured in the exact same outfit that they wore for the picture with the NFL reporters in two other pictures. One photo showed Kelce and Swift full of laughter in the snow, while another showed the power couple skating around on an ice rink. One of the pictures even sparked engagement rumors after eagle-eyed Swifties spotted that Travis has an image of him and Taylor as the lock screen on his phone. In a photo that shows them out for dinner together, Kelce's phone is lying on the table with his loved-up screensaver clearly visible. And Swift's die-hard legion of fans pointed out how their beloved singer appeared to be holding both hands up to the camera with a ring on her finger. Yet according to TMZ, the pop megastar is actually wearing Kelce's three Super Bowl rings in the picture he saved as his phone background.

When your poolside snack is interrupted by a surprise guest (and no one knows who's more startled)
In a now-viral TikTok with over 14.6 million views, mom @ellamcconkey the reality of traveling with young kids. It's the reminder every parent needs before their next trip—because no matter how well you plan, something hilarious (or chaotic) is always around the corner. The video starts off peaceful: a toddler, fresh from a swim, quietly enjoying her fries—until a lizard scurries into frame. Neither saw it coming. The video's caption reads, 'God forbid a girl tries to eat her french fries in peace on vaca,' and the text overlay drives it home: 'Lunch by the pool is fun until it's not.' The little girl's split-second reaction—an honest mix of confusion, fear, and restraint—has viewers both laughing and impressed: 'They were both scared ,' wrote @Laririri. 'The lizard: where's the ketchup,' joked @Amanda Franchi. And @amy bloom nailed the vibe: Because traveling with kids never goes exactly to plan Whether you're road-tripping with a baby or wrangling toddlers through TSA, every parent knows: the memories you make on vacation aren't always the ones you planned. Sometimes they show up in the form of a a diaper blowout just as the plane starts to a beloved stuffed animal accidentally left behind at the last hotel. The moments that stick often aren't on the itinerary. They're the tiny plot twists that turn into stories your family tells for years. Related: Toddler gives viral crumpet order—and mom's calm response wins the internet The tiny surprises that shape kids (and parents) Emotional resilience often begins in small, unexpected situations, like a sudden burst of fear met with reassurance or a surprise encounter at the lunch table. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), moments like these help children build the confidence and coping skills they'll rely on as they grow. How adults respond matters too. A calm presence, a quick laugh, or a reassuring hug can help kids feel safe enough to move through the moment. Even retelling the story later, when everyone is dry and eating fries again, can turn a brief disruption into a shared memory. Related: Toddler picks up mom's nickname for dad… and won't stop using it The memories you don't plan, but never forget You might forget the timeline, the meltdown in the rental car lot, or why you ever thought a museum was a good idea. But someone will remember the fries. Someone will remember the chaos. And someone will definitely remember the toddler who just wanted to eat in peace, and got a side of drama instead. Because when you're traveling with kids, the best stories tend to sneak up on you—messy, hilarious, and completely the wildest thing that's happened on a family trip?

All-Inclusive Resorts Are So Back—Because We Are So Burnt Out
I was laid out on a lounge chair next to my sister, piña colada in hand, staring out at the sugar-white beaches in Aruba and debating whether to join in on the beach volleyball game or just keep reading. We were visiting the Divi & Tamarijn All-Inclusive as part of its new Wellness Week—designated days of fitness programming, led by two visiting influencers. That morning, we'd made it to an outdoor yoga sculpt class, and the next day, we had a 7 a.m. strength class with celebrity trainer Sierra Nielsen, before heading back to New York. But we weren't tied to any of it. We could do as much—or as little—as we wanted, without having to cancel a reservation or flake on a group tour we didn't feel like doing. Five years ago, if you told me I would voluntarily sign up for an all-inclusive, I would've scoffed. I thought they were the anti-vacation: no culture, no spontaneity, no good food. You showed up, got your wristband, and entered a world of pool aerobics, watered-down frozen daiquiris, and mediocre buffet food left under heat lamps for far too long. But after months of nonstop deadlines and life stress, this kind of low-stakes, fully-planned itinerary actually sounded perfect. Most of us are collectively exhausted: burnt out from work, from news, and from trying to optimize every waking moment (or all three.) And all-inclusives—once written off as generic or family-oriented—suddenly feel like a smart, restorative choice. Dr. Aerial Cetnar, a licensed therapist, has noticed more and more of clients just wanting to relax. 'Many people are experiencing a kind of mental exhaustion, a feeling of being maxed out. In those situations, people are looking for vacations that feel very predictable,' she says. 'An all-inclusive can reduce the mental load of worrying about what you're going to do on this day or the next.' More and more travelers are saying that they prefer all-inclusive resorts, like Alila Ventana Big Sur (pictured) because of the minimal stress and ease of booking. Courtesy Alila Ventana Big Sur Because meals and activities, like foraging walks, are included in the nightly rate at Alila Ventana Big Sur, guests are more free to do as much or as little as they'd like. Courtesy Alila Ventana Big Sur High stress levels could explain why more travelers, especially Gen Z, are rethinking the all-inclusive. According to Expedia's 2025 trend report, one-third of Gen Z respondents say their perception of all-inclusives has changed for the better, and 42% say they'd actually prefer an all-inclusive over another accommodation because of the minimal stress and ease of booking. Resorts are paying attention and upping their game. Instead of frozen margaritas and cheesy entertainment, more are catering to younger, wellness-minded travelers with high-quality meals and creative activities. One example is Alila Ventana Big Sur, a rustic resort set in a redwood grove above the Pacific Ocean. During your stay, you can enjoy Japanese soaking tubs, daily yoga and meditation, and a rotating schedule of guided hikes, beekeeping demos, and foraging walks. You don't need to plan in advance; the staff will give you a weekly schedule at check-in. If you want to plan your own adventure, you can grab gear, like a Yeti cooler, beach blanket, or daypack, from the front desk. Meals are included at the Sur House, a sit-down restaurant that leans heavily on local and seasonal sourcing—and it's much better than your typical buffet fare. 'Get the chorizo breakfast scramble! I still think about it a year later,' said one traveller on a Reddit thread. Alcohol isn't covered, which makes it an easy choice for people who don't drink or prefer to BYOB, but it's the programming—not the cocktails—that makes it worthy of the all-inclusive title. Other resorts, like Miraval Resorts, a chain of all-inclusives with locations in Texas, Arizona, and Massachusetts, are encouraging travelers to unplug and escape the work grind. At these resorts, you can use your personal devices in your room and in designated areas, but everywhere else, you have to go phone-free. You'll have plenty to keep you entertained, though, with a full schedule packed with hikes, bone broth demos, meditations, foam rolling classes, and mountain biking and slacklining lessons (depending on the location.) There's even a session with a 'sleep and dream specialist' to learn about your circadian rhythms.
