One wrote: "Whoa Julia…. She needs to calm down lol he is uncomfortable."
Another said: "What is she doing? She's making Travis uncomfortable scratches his shirted chest."
And third added: "Julia Roberts scratching Travis Kelce’s chest was not on my weird s**t in the TSMU bingo card, that’s for sure."
A lip-reader has already shared their verdict on what was said and now, body language expert Darren Stanton has revealed his thoughts on the encounter.
Speaking on behalf of Spin Genie, Darren told Tyla: "Julia and Travis both appear very comfortable in each other’s presence - it’s as if they've been friends for years! Their body language is very close and there’s an instant rapport between them."
The expert added that Julia came across 'really tactile'.
"Her hands are on him, with her fingers tickling the top of his chest. She’s more open than he is, but he’s still fairly open and appears to reciprocate her body language," Darren explained.
At one point in the interaction, the NFL star can be seen with his hands under Julia's elbows which, according to the expert, can be considered an 'intimate' gesture.
"I’ve noticed that Travis has become a lot more tactile since being with Taylor, and that’s apparent here," he noted.
All in all, Darren continued, there seemed to be an 'instant connection' between the pair which was 'certainly' the case for Julia and reciprocated by Trav.
"He’s not pulling away or doing any facial expressions to say he’s not comfortable," the expert went on. "He isn’t showing any signs of fear either. It could be that Travis is in a little of awe, but I don’t get that impression.
"He took the meeting in his stride and reciprocated the body language back to her."
Overall, Darren reckons there's 'a lot' of reciprocal liking going on between the two.
Good to know!
