During an interview on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, Cruise revealed that Swift was “schooling” him on football.

“She was bringing the football,” he went on. “First of all, she’s a genius. I’ve been following her since she was a kid. Everybody there, all their friends, they’re a beautiful couple and magical in their own right. Everybody there in that booth.”

Cruise said Swift also revealed that she learned a lot of her football knowledge from dating Travis Kelce over the years.

“She said, ‘You know, he’s so patient,’” Cruise shared, laughing, “I said, ‘I’m sure he was.’ I think everybody would be very patient [with her],” he said. “[Now] she knows … she’s just bringing it.”

Earlier in the week, Cruise was on the New Heights podcast with Jason and Travis Kelce, and told Travis he wondered how he was able to pick up Swift.

“She’s a cook, a painter, a writer, a poet and look at you,” Cruise said to Travis. “It’s like being able to take something and then create in it. I admire that. When I see people, I’m always going around, looking at their skills, trying to understand them, and then I learn from it. And how do we apply it.”
