Travis Kelce’s Mother Reveals How He’s Handling Fame Amid Relationship With Taylor Swift

Travis Kelce is experiencing a surge of attention lately, especially since his relationship with pop superstar Taylor Swift became public. His mother, Donna Kelce, shared insights into how her son is managing this newfound fame. In a recent interview with Extra, she noted that Travis is truly enjoying this phase of his life, stating, “It just seems like his life is on a trajectory that just is rising every single day, and every time I turn around I’m seeing him doing something different — whether it’s on the golf course or at a concert or whatever, he’s just having his best life right now.” “He’s always been one to be in the limelight. He loves attention,” she added.

Donna further highlighted Travis’ fun-loving nature, “I mean it, he’s always dancing, always joking around, always having fun… he just loves life. He has a zest for life and he’s one of those individuals that wants to make sure everybody’s laughing and having a good time.” Travis’ mother explained that many of his antics, both on and off the field, are motivated by his desire to bring joy to others, as he wants “a smile out of people.”

Dating rumors between Taylor and Travis first began swirling in September 2023 and the couple confirmed their relationship a month later when they were spotted holding hands at a Saturday Night Live afterparty. Since making their romance public, they have shown strong support for each other. Swift has been seen cheering for Kelce during his games, while Travis made a memorable appearance during her Eras Tour. He joined her on stage as a back-up dancer during the opening of her song, I Can Do It With a Broken Heart. He even playfully carried an exhausted Taylor to the couch in a humourous finale to her performance.

On the professional side, Travis is keeping himself busy with several exciting projects beyond football. Earlier this year, Prime Video announced that he would host the upcoming game show Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity?, a fun twist on Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?. In this series, contestants will work with celebrities to answer 11 elementary-school-level questions as they compete to win $100,000. Moreover, Travis is set to appear in Grotesquerie, a new series for FX and Hulu, created by the renowned Ryan Murphy, known for his work on Glee and American Horror Story.
