Travis Kelce gives fans a glimpse into his quiet time with Taylor Swift—A peek into their cozy bonding ritual at home
Travis Kelce gave rare insight into his and Taylor Swift's movie date night (Getty Images) Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce might be known for his bold plays on the field, but off the gridiron, his idea of a good time is surprisingly laid-back — especially when it comes to nights in with global pop icon Taylor Swift . During the latest episode of the New Heights podcast, Kelce offered fans a rare and candid glimpse into the couple's low-key life together, revealing a sweet detail: he and Swift keep a shared movie list. Travis Kelce shares cozy detail about nights in with Taylor Swift While discussing potential film picks for the podcast, Travis Kelce casually mentioned the iconic 1990 romantic comedy Pretty Woman. 'I'm down to watch it,' he told brother Jason Kelce, before adding that the Julia Roberts–Richard Gere classic 'has been on [his] and Tay's movie list for a while.' The brief mention set off a ripple of fan curiosity, as listeners clung to the subtle insight into what the NFL champ and Grammy winner enjoy behind closed doors. Kelce didn't divulge any other titles on the couple's list, but it's not the first time movies have played a part in their public love story. In December 2024, he reacted to Love Actually — a longtime favorite of Swift's — with mixed feelings, calling it 'far-fetched' but 'fun.' His commentary added a touch of realism to a film that many associate with grand romantic gestures, a contrast that fans found both funny and relatable.

His memory of seeing it at a young age with 'someone else's parents' — since his own wouldn't have approved — adds a nostalgic twist that pairs perfectly with the sentimental tone of Swift's lyrics: 'I'm watching 'American Pie' with you on a Saturday night. ' While Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce remain headline-makers, it's the small, intimate details — like a shared movie list — that seem to capture fans' hearts. The couple continues to balance fame with normalcy, offering rare, honest glimpses into a relationship grounded in mutual respect, humor, and quiet connection. As Kelce simply put it, 'I hope Travis is Travis,' — and clearly, when he's with Taylor, that's exactly who he gets to be.

Did Travis Kelce really lose 25 pounds? Chiefs star debunks exaggerated weight loss claims
Travis Kelce clears confusion over alleged 25-pound weight loss before NFL season (Getty Images) Travis Kelce has officially addressed the swirling rumors about his offseason weight loss, and he's not holding back. During the Kansas City Chiefs' mandatory minicamp on Tuesday, the veteran tight end took a moment to clear the air after headlines suggested he had dropped a dramatic 25 pounds. 'Don't believe all you read on the internet, guys, all right?' Kelce joked when asked about the report, brushing off the viral claims with a grin. Though he admitted that he's 'down some weight from the end of the season last year,' Kelce firmly stated, 'I never told anybody' he had lost 25 pounds. Travis Kelce finally sets the record straight on rumored 25-pound weight loss this offseason This clarification came after ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reported that the 35-year-old had revealed to close contacts that he had slimmed down significantly. 'He's told people close to him that he's lost about 25 pounds this offseason,' Fowler said on SportsCenter, adding that Kelce 'vowed to change' his playing weight after carrying more than usual during the 2024 season. Whether or not the number is accurate, one thing is certain—Travis Kelce has been putting in the work. The three-time Super Bowl champion explained that the offseason finally gave him some breathing room to reset and focus on improving his form. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Used Cars Have Never Been So Cheap (See Deals) CommonSearches | Search Ads Learn More Undo 'Each year's different,' Kelce said. "I'm down some weight from the end of the season last year. This year, I got some time to really focus on some form running. Certainly feeling good, and it'll pay off," Kelce said, via Charles Goldman. Kelce's weight became a talking point earlier this year when, during an episode of the New Heights podcast, he joked with his brother Jason Kelce that they were 'in the same weight class,' referencing his own offseason weight gain. Jason, who recently retired, didn't hold back either, noting Travis had 'been drinking more.' That playful banter stood in stark contrast to the more serious commitment Travis showed in the months following his Super Bowl win. Between romantic getaways with Taylor Swift and public appearances with teammate Patrick Mahomes, Kelce also prioritized his health. The duo even joked about their 'dad bods' during Kansas City's annual Big Slick Celebrity Party in June. With training camp now underway and retirement talks looming, Kelce appears more focused than ever. He has reportedly spent most of the offseason in Florida grinding through workouts, determined to keep performing at an elite level. After facing criticism last season for not being in top shape, the Chiefs star seems intent on proving that won't be the case this year. If anyone thought he was coasting into the twilight of his career, Kelce's renewed dedication to fitness says otherwise.

Ed Kelce calls Jason's new pin-up tattoo ‘cringeworthy' and ‘f—king looney' during New Heights appearance
Ed Kelce Reacts to Bizarre Jason Kelce Tattoo (Getty Images) There's no shortage of wild fan tributes in the NFL world, but this one managed to stun even the ever-composed Ed Kelce. On a recent episode of the New Heights podcast, Ed joined sons Jason and Travis Kelce to discuss a now-viral tattoo—one that has Jason front and center in a cheeky pose, modeled after a pin-up photo with the Philadelphia Eagles mascot discreetly covering his private parts. Jason Kelce's wild pin-up tattoo stuns Ed Kelce When the brothers brought up the tattoo, Ed was visibly confused and somewhat horrified. 'Did somebody actually do that? Permanently? That's not a henna?' he asked, trying to process the reality of someone choosing such a design for life. Once he understood it was real ink, Ed didn't mince words: 'F—king looney,' he said, triggering a loud cackle from Jason. Ed didn't hold back, calling the image 'cringeworthy' and admitting it made him uncomfortable even when it wasn't on someone's arm. 'I saw that on social media, and that's cringeworthy. Even without it being on somebody's arm, just the picture itself,' he added. Pin Up Jason, Donna Joins The Traitors and Fatherly "Ed-Vice" with Ed Kelce | EP 143 Jason, ever the good sport, joked about the image and his unexpected portrayal. 'I've never heard you use the word cringe, so this is new territory,' he told his dad, while also admitting, 'I don't think I look half bad. If I'm being honest, they did me a solid.' Travis chimed in with a laugh, 'This might be the best you ever looked.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Concentrated Siberian Ginseng Extract 2oz Superior Ginseng Undo The tattoo first gained attention on X (formerly Twitter), where Jason posted, 'I'm not sure if I should be offended or flattered.' He later leaned toward the latter, adding, 'It's a generous bird, good sized head,' referring to the mascot's placement. Even his wife, Kylie Kelce, was left stunned, commenting, 'Excuse me???' on the viral TikTok video that revealed the tattoo. As bizarre as it sounds, the tattoo wasn't born out of Eagles fandom alone. In fact, it stemmed from a bet between a married couple. Lauren Philpot, a New York Giants supporter, revealed to TMZ Sports that she lost a wager to her Eagles-loving husband during the 2022-23 NFL season. Despite the odd outcome, Lauren stood by her decision. 'This is who I am as a person, a bet is a bet,' she said. 'If I get it covered up, I still went through with it. No, I don't care. It's a funny story. It's something that my husband and I like to do.' Whether it's legendary plays on the field or outrageous tattoos off it, the Kelce family continues to be at the center of football culture—and conversation.

Why Uncrustables have become the NFL's unofficial locker room fuel, with 80,000 eaten every year
NFL players can't stop eating Uncrustables—over 80,000 consumed every year (X) NFL stars might be among the world's most finely tuned athletes, but when it comes to snacking, many stick to something straight from the schoolyard lunchbox: Uncrustables. These sealed, crust-free peanut butter and jelly sandwiches have become a surprising staple across the league — even more popular than the longtime halftime favorite, orange slices. This childhood snack is dominating NFL locker rooms—players reportedly eat 80,000 Uncrustables a year What started as a quirky discovery by The Athletic while investigating the league's halftime habits has since evolved into a full-blown phenomenon. In an era of protein shakes and performance bars, Uncrustables are thriving. After surveying 24 of the NFL's 32 teams at the end of the 2023 season, The Athletic learned that players consume 'at least 80,000 Uncrustables a year,' factoring in games, practices, and training camps. That staggering number could stretch over 18 yards of a football field if laid end to end. The team with the most ravenous appetite? The Denver Broncos, who reportedly crush an astonishing 7,000 Uncrustables each week. The Seattle Seahawks followed with 3,200, while the Jacksonville Jaguars and Miami Dolphins were not far behind. On the flip side, the Cincinnati Bengals and New Orleans Saints tied for last place — if you can call it that — with 500 sandwiches per week. Interestingly, Uncrustables have a direct tie to football. The product was co-created by former North Dakota State University wide receiver Len Kretchman and his wife Emily. In the '90s, Emily suggested making a peanut butter and jelly sandwich without the crust that could be mass-produced. From a simple idea in their kitchen using a drinking glass to cut and seal the bread, the product eventually evolved. In 1999, Smucker's purchased their company and turned Uncrustables into a national hit. NFL players quickly embraced the snack. Jeff Saturday, former Indianapolis Colts center, remembered the sandwiches being a hit during Super Bowl week in 2007: 'We were all scoopin' and scorin'. We were grabbing five, six at a time.' Despite getting smashed under playbooks in gym bags, Saturday said, 'Didn't matter. You could throw your playbook on top of 'em, didn't make any difference. Squished, unsquished, you're gonna crush it. ' The tradition lives on. San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy reportedly ate one at his locker before the Super Bowl. Kansas City Chiefs' Travis Kelce admitted on his New Heights podcast, 'I eat more of those sandwiches than anything else in the world.' George Kittle of the 49ers munches on two before away games and up to four afterward. As Saturday summed it up: 'We're all creatures of habit, dude. Almost freakishly. If you're a two-Uncrustables-a-day kind of guy, that's just what you do.' Whether it's nostalgia, convenience, or just plain taste, one thing's clear — in the NFL, Uncrustables aren't just surviving, they're thriving.
