Travis Kelce: I've still got a lot to prove in the NFL
Travis Kelce has got "a lot more to prove" in the NFL. The 35-year-old sports star briefly contemplated retirement after losing the Super Bowl earlier this year, but Travis is now preparing for the new NFL season and he still feels like he's got a point to prove. The Kansas City Chiefs star - who is dating Taylor Swift - told reporters: "It wasn't a very tough [decision] for me. "I know I'm getting older, but at the same time I still feel like I got a lot that I can prove in this league. It really wasn't that hard of a decision for me." Travis felt hurt after losing the Super Bowl earlier this year, but his passion for the sport remains as strong as ever. He said: "I love football. I don't think I really thought about it that much. My friends and family and the team and the guys and women in this building, I love coming into work every single day." Despite this, Travis took his time before deciding to commit himself to another season with the Kansas City Chiefs. The sports star said: "You want to let the emotions die down [after the end of the season]. "That was the biggest thing — you don't want to make decisions off initial emotions. But for the most part, once they died down, I still felt like I had that fire in my chest to be able to keep coming in and building and be better and chase another Super Bowl." Meanwhile, Travis previously admitted to feeling inspired during Taylor's Eras Tour. The NFL star confessed to being wowed by his 35-year-old girlfriend during her record-breaking tour in 2024. Speaking prior to the Super Bowl, Travis shared: "What I saw on that tour last year was pretty remarkable. "To see the week-in, week-out travelling from one country to the next and how excruciating it is on her body and on her mind - and it's not just her. It was her entire tour. It was an absolute machine and it was something I could admire watching."

Woman who had facial transplant after chimp attack reveals what she looks like 16 years on
A woman whose face was ripped off by a chimpanzee has revealed what she looks like 16 years after undergoing a life-changing face transplant. In February 2009, Charla Nash, now 71, was attacked by her friend Sandra Herold's chimpanzee, Travis, at her home in Connecticut , who bit off her nose, lips, eyelids and hands. Now, after undergoing a full face transplant in 2011 at Brigham and Women's Hospital in 2011, Charla told 60 Minutes Australia, the surgery 'brought my life back' as she expressed gratitude to the doctors. She said: 'It's a wonderful thing and words can't express the gratitude but I had this opportunity to live a better life.' She added: 'The nose and the upper lip I can't feel yet, but little by little it's coming back, I can feel my cheek and forehead, so it's getting there. 'I was only drinking everything from through a straw and my goal is to be able to eat again.' Charlie, who lives in an assisted care center, undergoes daily rehabilitation and speech therapy. She said: 'Life's getting better, it is coming around slowly but yeah it's getting better, It's hard but it's better.' Charla said she is slowly getting feeling back in her face and has started to eat solid food again. The military funded the facial transplant in order to learn more about how it could help wounded veterans, and Charla has been subject to medical tests ever since. While her body rejected transplants on her hands, the facial surgery was successful. Charla, who also was fitted with glass eyes, is blind after she had her eyes removed due to a disease transmitted by the chimp, who had worked as an actor and appeared in commercials for Old Navy and Coca Cola. Charla, a former barrel racer and horse jumper, said she has become increasingly patient because she has had to ask for help instead of doing everything herself. But she chooses to look to the future and dreams of living on a farm in a small town once she is finished with her medical tests. Travis the chimpanzee was raised in Connecticut by Sandra Herold, who treated the pet as if he were her son. The 200lb animal was thought to be domesticated since he would open doors, drink wine from a glass, eat at the dinner table, and dress himself. He even used the computer. But on the day of the attack, Travis tried to escape by taking Sandra's car keys and trying to use them on several cars. Sandra, who died in 2010, tried to lure Travis back into the house and gave him an iced tea laced with Xanax. When Nash, who was a friend and employee of Sandra's arrived at the house to help, the animal brutally attacked her. Investigators suggested Travis may have mistook Nash, who was familiar with the chimp, as an intruder after she appeared with a new hairstyle. They also believe the Xanax, which is used for anxiety in humans, may have also fueled Travis's aggression. In return for footing her medical bills, she goes in for medical tests every few weeks. She is subjected to MRIs and CT scans to determine how well her brain is sending signals to her new face. In addition, doctors examine how well the arteries are delivering blood to the transplant. The military is also interested in monitoring the scarring around the mouth and how well her eyelids work. In 2014, Charla revealed that she has no independence since the attack and that people were afraid to come near her. Charla, who raised her daughter Briana on her own: 'I've never been a quitter'. She also hopes to use her story so that others don't have to face a similar ordeal, and is working with advocates on a video to encourage stronger laws restricting exotic animals. She said she never felt at ease with Travis being locked up in her friend's home before pal Sandra Herold, died of an aneurism in 2010. She said: 'I remember looking at him in his cage and feeling sorry for him. My thoughts were always, "How is she allowed this animal in her house? What if he gets loose someday and somebody gets hurt?" I know the animals are cute - but they're just not pets.' After the attack, her family sought permission to sue Connecticut for $150million for failing to seize the animal before the attack. But the state claims commissioner denied permission, saying that state law did not prohibit the private ownership of chimpanzees at the time of the attack. She was given $4million in compensation by the estate of the animal's now-dead owner.

Travis and Jason Kelce never got a sex talk from dad Ed Kelce—his dating advice will surprise you
Ed Kelce hilariously reveals he skipped the sex talk with sons Travis and Jason Kelce altogether (Getty Images) When it comes to navigating puberty and relationships, most kids turn to their parents for guidance. But for NFL stars Jason and Travis Kelce , things played out a bit differently. In the June 18 episode of their 'New Heights' podcast, the Kelce brothers welcomed their father, Ed Kelce, who revealed an amusing truth — he never had "the talk" with his sons. Why Ed Kelce avoided the sex talk with his sons—and what he told Travis and Jason instead 'I never got any advice on sex from Dad,' said Jason, 37. 'We never had the birds and the bees talk.' Ed responded with a laugh, 'No, we didn't. No, we didn't.' Apparently, the Cleveland Heights public school system handled what most parents would. 'He left that to the Cleveland Heights public school system,' Jason joked, with Travis, 35, adding, 'Yeah, health class!' And Ed stood by that parenting decision. 'I lived without it. You can too,' he said. Pin Up Jason, Donna Joins The Traitors and Fatherly "Ed-Vice" with Ed Kelce | EP 143 Despite skipping the formal sex talk, Ed Kelce didn't completely check out of his sons' emotional development. In fact, he played a low-key but pivotal role in offering dating advice, particularly to Travis during his middle school years. Recalling his early attempts to impress girls, Travis shared a moment of fatherly wisdom that stuck with him. 'He had this funny way of saying, 'Hey, just be her friend, just be cool with her. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Switch to UnionBank Rewards Card UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo If she doesn't like it, pretty girls all hang around pretty girls,'' Travis recounted. 'I was like, 'All right, yeah, there you go.'' Ed also had a memorable nugget of dating strategy for Jason when he was attending the University of Cincinnati. Jason, feeling unsure about approaching women, once admitted, 'Yeah, I see these girls, but I really don't know what to talk about.' To which Ed advised, 'All you gotta do is shut up and let them talk about themselves and you ain't gotta say another word. Nod your head and say, 'Oh wow, yeah, cool.' Add the little comments in there to make her feel good and just … you don't have to say nothing.' Ed, however, also cracked, 'Also why I live alone,' sparking laughter from his sons. Jason teased that maybe women have figured him out, and Travis chimed in, 'They figured you out.' The family humor extended to their teenage years with AIM and early online interactions. Travis admitted he used to 'eavesdrop in' on Jason's phone conversations with girls. 'I did not know how to talk to girls,' Jason confessed. Despite the awkward beginnings, both brothers found lasting love. Jason has been happily married to Kylie Kelce for seven years and is a proud father of four daughters — Wyatt, Elliotte, Bennett, and baby Finnley. Meanwhile, Travis has been in a high-profile relationship with global pop icon Taylor Swift since 2023. Ed Kelce, who's been spotted enjoying Chiefs games and even attending Swift's Eras Tour in Toronto, remains optimistic about his son's love life. 'I think we get past the Super Bowl... just them alone really connecting more,' he said earlier this year, hoping the off-season would give Travis and Taylor time to deepen their bond. From schoolyard crushes to public romances, the Kelce family's approach to love and life continues to be candid, hilarious, and refreshingly real.
