Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce took a moment away from football headlines and playoff pressure to congratulate Pat McAfee on a major personal milestone. McAfee and his wife, Samantha, announced they are expecting their second child after a long IVF journey—and Kelce showed up with an enthusiastic three-word message that immediately caught fans’ attention.
Travis Kelce Reacts to Pat McAfee’s Baby Announcement
McAfee revealed that he and Samantha are expecting a baby boy in June 2026. The broadcaster shared the news in an emotional Instagram post, confirming their journey to pregnancy involved IVF.
“The path that led us here was filled with needles, hormones, countless appointments, and more emotion than we ever knew two hearts could hold,” McAfee wrote. He added that IVF “pushed my body to its limits and stretched our spirits in ways we never expected.” McAfee also shared, “We are overjoyed to share that we are expecting a baby boy.”
As supporters and fellow athletes flooded the comments, Kelce appeared with a celebratory message:
“Let’s goooo!!! Congratulations!!!”
Pat McAfee Has Shared Plenty of Public Praise for Travis Kelce
Earlier this month, McAfee made headlines for his larger-than-life compliment about Kelce during a sports roundtable discussion. In a clip shared on X by user @tayvishazetoo, McAfee told analysts:
“I would like to reiterate something. Hey, you have got really good wood too. But the greatest wood comes from New Heights and Cincinnati legend Travis Kelce.”
The comment drew laughter across the studio and immediately ignited online reactions. Fans connected the moment to Taylor Swift’s song “Wood” from her album “The Life of a Showgirl,” which includes the lyric:
“New Heights of manhood / I ain’t gotta knock on wood.”
Some Swift fans joked that McAfee had become one of the biggest “Tayvis” supporters. One fan wrote, “Preach it, Pat,” while another said, “This is so funny! But I’m so curious why were they discussing wood in the first place?” A separate user added, “The biggest Tayvis stan, fr.”
McAfee also shared on Kelce’s podcast “New Heights” in October 2024 that he believed the Kelce-Swift relationship was benefiting the NFL.
He told the tight end, “You and Taylor’s relationship is great for the sport. It is getting introduced to so many people.”
The Kansas City Chiefs Look Ahead After a Tough Loss
Kelce’s celebration comes as the Chiefs navigate one of the most challenging points of their season. Kansas City fell to 6-6 after a 31-28 loss to the Dallas Cowboys on Thanksgiving. Despite a late rally, the Chiefs couldn’t slow down Dak Prescott and the Cowboys’ offense.
Even as the team struggles to be on the right side of a one-score game, Kelce continues to produce.
Through 12 games, he has totaled 59 catches for 719 yards and five touchdowns. He ranks eighth in the NFL in yards after the catch with 375, trailing Christian McCaffrey, Jahmyr Gibbs, and Tyler Warren.
As the Chiefs push toward the postseason, Kelce still holds a key place in Kansas City’s offense. The team returns home on December 7 to face the Houston Texans on “Sunday Night Football,” a must-win matchup as playoff pressure mounts.
