Travis Kelce, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end, knows how to handle jokes about himself with a big smile! People have called him a “himbo” — a funny way to say someone looks great but isn’t so smart. But Kelce welcomes this with laughter and good spirit. In a fun chat with GQ, he said, “I find it funny. I joke about it. It is what it is. I’m just out here living life. I don’t necessarily want everyone to think that I’m an idiot.”
He’s not just about laughs though; he’s always learning. Kelce shared, “There’s always something to learn. Acting like you’re the smartest one in the room just isn’t the way to go.” That mix of confidence and humility is what makes him so real.
One hilarious moment was when he talked about hosting Saturday Night Live in 2023 on the “Bussin’ with the Boys” podcast. He joked, “The writers’ rooms were fun because you’re just getting pitched ideas. The table reading, for a guy that can’t really read that well, it was kind of a f***ed situation.” Who knew football stars could be so funny?
Off the field, Kelce’s life is star-studded and busy. His romance with global pop queen Taylor Swift gets lots of attention. Recently, on the “New Heights” podcast that Kelce co-hosts with his brother Jason, Taylor dropped a big news bomb about her 12th studio album, The Life of a Showgirl.
Business is booming too! This summer, Kelce and Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes will open 1587 Prime Luxury Steakhouse. This fancy eatery adds a spicy flavor to his growing business portfolio.
Whether catching football passes, cracking jokes, or cooking up new ventures, Travis Kelce proves he can shine in the spotlight without taking things too seriously — a rare gift today.
Even the NFL’s yearly top 100 players list put Kelce at No. 37, which some fans felt was too low. But as Kelce enters his 13th NFL season — possibly his last — everyone will be watching closely to see what he does next!
