“We were just having fun and enjoying a dinner just like anyone else would," the star quarterback revealed of the foursome’s July hangout. "That’s what makes it so great. We don’t make it more than what it is; it’s just friendship, fellowship and enjoying everyone’s success.”
Though the couple’s whirlwind romance has garnered so much attention, Patrick noted his friend is still the "same guy" he’s always been.
“It’s a huge platform and everyone in the world can see it, deservedly so because of how great Taylor is, but it’s still Travis," the soon-to-be father-of-three said. "I think that’s what makes it so cool, even though it’s such a big thing for the world."

And then he started bringing Taylor around,” he stated. “He realized how cool of a person she was — and she is. So for us, there was a couple jokes here and there at the beginning, but now she’s Kingdom now. She’s apart of the team. It's cool that she's embraced Brittany, and that's cool as well."
