Shaquille O'Neal has shared his advice for Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce amid their blossoming romance.

Taylor and Travis's relationship has been making headlines ever since she was spotted supporting him at his games along with his mom.

The pair were then spotted out together on several occasions, even holding hands in front of the cameras, before they shared their first PDA at one of her recent concerts. 

Shaq has now shared his thoughts on the romance and the advice he'd give the couple, which includes staying out of the public eye.

The retired NBA player, 51, has experience of dating in the public eye given the interest around his nine-year marriage to his ex-wide Shaunie O'Neal.

Based on his own experience of navigating a high-profile romance, he advised Taylor, 33, and Travis, 34: "Keep it out of the public eye."

Shaq added to People: "They look good together. I wish them nothing but the best, and I hope they're happy."

While most fans are loving seeing how happy Travis and Taylor are, the continued coverage of the singer supporting the Kansas City Chiefs' tight end at his games has ruffled some NFL fans' feathers.

Some became irate that Taylor was getting too much coverage as the cameras kept cutting back to her, while others were not happy at claims the singer "put Travis on the map", given he was already a huge star in his own right before the relationship.

Regardless, the couple's relationship appears to be going from strength to strength and sources told the publication: "They share a strong work ethic and have a huge appreciation for life and their careers, strong family bond and values."

The insider added that Travis is also "sweet, goofy and just a blast to be around."

While some have complained about the coverage Taylor is getting at the Chiefs' games, former professional baseball player Derek Jeter doesn't think it's necessarily a bad thing.

He told the outlet: "I think anytime you get a new set of eyes, a new demographic that's paying attention to sports, [it's great].

"I think Taylor Swift has a lot of fans anyway, so I don't necessarily think it's like, 'Oh, she's got a new set of fans now.' They probably were fans anyway. But I think it just puts the sports world into the spotlight.

"But, hey, if you go back over the years, it is funny. You always hear people say that a lot of entertainers want to be athletes, and then you look at athletes and they want to be entertainers themselves. I think those worlds have coincided for quite some time."
