Travis Kelce: The hidden side behind the NFL idol and his romance with Taylor Swift
In an interview with GQ, the tight end admitted that, although he jokes about his reputation, he doesn’t want people to see him as superficial.
“I’m just here, living life. He said with a mix of humor and seriousness, “I want everyone to know I’m not an idiot.”
More than an athlete: business, acting, and a high-profile relationship
In recent months, Travis Kelce has made headlines not only for his performance on the field, but also for his personal life and new ventures.
His relationship with singer Taylor Swift has captured worldwide attention, especially after he convinced her to appear on his popular podcast alongside his brother.
Off the field, Kelce has expanded his personal empire. Together with Patrick Mahomes, he will launch 1587 Prime, a luxury steakhouse set to open in the summer of 2025.
He has also ventured into acting, landing roles in FX’s Grotesquerie series and in the sequel Happy Gilmore 2, proving that his talent extends well beyond sports.
The price of success off the field
However, this diversification has come at a cost. Travis Kelce acknowledges that his extracurricular activities may have influenced his performance over the past two seasons, marked by a drop in his receiving yards and touchdown numbers.
Even so, he has no regrets, as these opportunities represent a new chapter he wants to explore without neglecting his work ethic.
With the 2025 season just around the corner, Kelce is preparing to show that he still has plenty to give in the NFL.
On September 5, when the Chiefs face the Los Angeles Chargers in their season opener, the player will be looking to regain his top form.
