Tom Hanks Shares Marriage Advice for Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce

Toy Story 5's Tom Hanks exclusively shared with E! News the delicious marriage advice he'd give to Taylor Swift—who dropped a song for the Pixar movie—and her fiancé Travis Kelce.

Tom Hanks Shares Marriage Advice for Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce

Tom Hanks is sweet on Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's love story.

In fact, the Oscar winner had some sage advice for the "Blank Space" singer and the Kansas City Chiefs tight end ahead of their wedding. 

Having been married to wife Rita Wilson for 38 years, Hanks exclusively told E! News at the Pixar film's June 9 premiere in Los Angeles, "The man must make the waffles on Sunday."

As for his thoughts on Swift's Toy Story 5 track "I Knew It, I Knew You," the 69-year-old—who has been lending his voice to Woody since 1995—was pleasantly surprised.

"We were told the day it came out," Hanks shared, joking that it was "diabolical" to keep him out of the loop for so long. "They don't trust us, and there is a brain trust that goes along that I am not a part of. So, I just do what I'm told."

And for Swift, it was a dream come true to have her music featured in the iconic franchise. 

"It's a *Toy* Story," the 36-year-old quipped in June 1 Instagram post. "I’ve always dreamed of getting to write for these characters who I’ve adored since I was a 5 year old kid watching the first Toy Story movie."

She continued, "I fell instantly in love with Toy Story 5 when I was lucky enough to see it in its early stages, and I wrote this song as soon as I got home from the screening. Sometimes you just know, right?"

Taylor also knows she's found her match in Kelce, who she got engaged to last summer after two years of dating.

"Travis very adorably put me on blast on his podcast, which I thought was metal as hell," Swift recalled in a 2023 Time interview, months after Kelce jokingly called her out on an episode of his New Heights podcast over how he couldn't meet her at an Eras Tour concert. "We started hanging out right after that."

She added, "By the time I went to that first game, we were a couple."
