While Tris isn't afraid to spill some tea on his Sept. 27, 2023 podcast regarding his interactions with Taylor, he still expressed his boundaries about addressing his personal life moving forward.
"I know I brought all this attention to me," he explained. "I did the whole friendship bracelet thing and told everyone how butthurt I was that I didn't get to meet Taylor." However, he continued, he didn't plan to give a full play-by-play of their relationship.
"What's real is that it is my personal life and I want to respect both of our lives," he explained. "I'm enjoying life and I sure as hell enjoyed this weekend. So everything moving forward, I think me talking about sports and saying 'alright nah' will he to be where I keep it."
He doubled-down on his desire to play it cool in a November 2023 interview with the Wall Street Journal.
"Everybody around me telling me: Don't f--k this up! And me sitting here saying: Yeah—got it," he told the outlet, before addressing the media attention. "That was the biggest thing to me: make sure I don't say anything that would push Taylor away."
But that doesn't mean he's been able to resist publicly talking about his girlfriend—crediting her for the boost in sales of his jersey and calling her "amazing" after she was booed by New England Patriots fans at a December 2023 game.
"I've never been a man of words," he admitted to WSJ. "Being around her, seeing how smart Taylor is, has been f--king mind-blowing. I'm learning every day."
