Raiders fans have to tolerate Travis Kelce for a bit longer. From losing weight to bringing New Heights to the live audience, the star Kansas City Chiefs tight end is having an offseason to remember.
Before the Philadelphia Eagles handed the Chiefs their worst Super Bowl loss in New Orleans, Kelce dismissed his retirement rumors once and for all. He may be 35 and slowing down, but that doesn’t mean he can’t run at all. On the contrary, he led the Chiefs in receptions and receiving yards last season.
Hopefully still playing football. I love doing this; I love coming into work every day. I feel like I still have a lot of good football left in me. We’ll see what happens.
Travis Kelce said via FOX Sports
The loss in NOLA and the delights of the offseason football seemed to have the better of Kelce. Earlier this month, he was spotted wearing what can only be described as old-school tennis attire on the streets of New York. He adopted a new haircut, which caught everyone’s attention.
However, his hair was second in the most discussed change in the snaps. Eagle-eyed Kelce fans noticed that the three-time Super Bowl winner looked puffier than usual.
Kelce put the chatter to rest on Monday. He and his older brother, Jason Kelce, arrived at the Amazon MGM Studios in California on Monday to shoot an episode of the New Heights podcast in front of a live audience.
Reporters questioned Kelce about his weight. Travis broke the ice and claimed he had lost 25 pounds since February.
It’s quite remarkable news, considering his packed schedule. From attending Mother’s Day lunches to recording podcast episodes and cheering for the Cleveland Cavaliers, Kelce still found time to hit the gym and stay in shape.
Jason Kelce provided an update on Travis Kelce’s latest date with Taylor Swift
Kelce and Swift had been on hiatus for a long time. The multiple time Grammy winner last appeared together with her beau at the New Orleans Superdome in February to cheer for the Chiefs.
There was a long gap after that. In between, they took a short ski trip to the Aspen Mountains in Montana for a few days. It was such a low-key affair that hardly any pictures are available in the public domain.
Swifties finally got their wish fulfilled over the Mother’s Day weekend. Their idol, Taylor, and Travis were seen at a local Philadelphia restaurant with Kelce’s mother, Donna Kelce; Jason and his wife, Kylie Kelce, celebrating the special day.
Reporters asked Jason, a retired Eagles center, about their private Mother’s Day celebration.
We were fortunate enough to have them all in. It doesn’t happen often, everybody’s busy, but it was pretty special.
Jason Kelce told ET
Kylie and Jason recently welcomed their fourth baby girl. On March 30, the pair announced the birth of Finnley “Finn” Anne Kelce, and her older sisters’ names are Wyatt, 5; Elliotte, 3; and Bennett, 2.
Travis will join the Chiefs’ training camp in July and apply for a visa to Brazil because the Chiefs will face divisional rivals, the Los Angeles Chargers in Sao Paulo in week one.
