If anyone is on top of the world right now, it’s Travis Kelce of the Kansas City Chiefs. He’s one of the hottest names in the NFL right now and has been for quite some time, but now, Kelce has also become a full-fledged pop culture figure, thanks to his relationship with Taylor Swift.
This is really a match made in heaven, and Kelce and Swift are officially engaged to be married. Kelce turns 36 years old on Sunday, October 5, and it’s really a birthday like no other, because this is his first birthday engaged to Swift. The two haven’t set a date yet, but Swift has said that she’s excited to plan the wedding after the promotions for her new album, “Life of a Showgirl,” die down.
So, it would make sense that with so many good things happening in Kelce’s life, he should be excited about his birthday. But, he’s not. Kelce has revealed that he’s actually not excited about his birthday at all.
Travis Kelce of the Kansas City Chiefs and Birthdays
Kelce talked about his birthday with his brother Jason Kelce on the Wednesday, October 1 episode of New Heights. During the chat, he talked about how he just isn’t into birthdays, or at least his birthdays.
“It’s not a good day, it’s just an annoying day for me,” Travis said. “I don’t want to get into the Grinch of birthdays but I’m just not in on birthdays.”
Jason wanted to dig up some birthday stats for Travis, but he didn’t want to share those. “I don’t think we should look that up, because I don’t think they’re very good,” Travis said.
Travis has nothing to be ashamed of when it comes to his record. This season alone, the Chiefs tight end has clocked 15 receptions for 182 yards over four games. Last season, he was at 15 receptions for 158 yards over the same time frame.
An Opportunity for Travis Kelce of the Kansas City Chiefs
If Travis Kelce retires after the 2025-26 season, he’s going to have a new job waiting for him. According to ESPN chairman Jimmy Pitaro, the network would certainly want to hire him as a host or analyst when he leaves the NFL.
“We’d love to talk to Travis when he’s ready,” told the Daily Mail. “One of our priorities at ESPN is audience expansion and that really means attracting a younger audience.”
“[Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift] are able to do that and they’ve been great for the sport,” he added, “great for the game of football, great for the NFL, and they’ve been great for the enterprises that carry the NFL. We’re all excited to see what that’s like going forward.”
Travis and his brother do a great job with the “New Heights” podcast, so he’s a natural on the microphone and on camera. Plus, the ESPN connection is real, because Jason, a former Eagles player, is employed by ESPN. Jason inked a three-year, $24 million contract with ESPN after retiring in 2023. Travis will have many offers when he leaves the NFL, and this is just one of them.
