With the start of the NFL season approaching teams have begun to prepare for the tumultuous 18 weeks ahead of them. Rookies have been drafted. Schedules have been announced. And teams are already in preseason mode holding workouts and camps for players.
As for tight end Travis Kelce and quarterback Patrick Mahomes, the dynamic duo behind the reigning champion Kansas City Chiefs, the two seem to be enjoying the off time.
Chiefs Stars Joke About ‘Dad Bods’ Ahead of Season
They made an appearance at the Big Slick Celebrity Party benefiting Children’s Mercy Hospital last Saturday.
During the show, both men joined the co-hosts on stage to auction off two game-worn Chiefs jerseys. “They still fit –– even in the offseason! Keeping it tight,” one of the hosts said while Kelce and Mahomes held up the jerseys.
This remark prompted the two to put on the jerseys. The stars struggled to squeeze into them. Kelce needed assistance getting past his shoulders, the teammates looked noticeably snug in their shirts. “This is dad bod season,” Mahomes pointed out jokingly while Travis added, “I have no kids. This is just what it looks like at 35!”
Travis Kelce Put on Hot Seat
An intriguing question was brought up the same night after Ted Lasso star Jason Sudeikis brought up Travis Kelce’s girlfriend and 14x Grammy winner Taylor Swift. In a comedy skit held during the event Sudeikis, joined by comedians Robert Smigel and George Wendt, dressed up as sports fans and joked that the Chiefs’ tight end should ask his girlfriend to foot the bill for a new football stadium for the team.
In the middle of the discussion, Sudeikis stopped to inquire with Kelce about his relationship with Swift. “When are you going to make an honest woman out of her?”, he asked. Kelce responded with an embarrassed smile and an awkward chuckle as the crowd clapped and cheered.
Swift and Kelce started dating in the summer of last year, and the singer is frequently seen supporting him during his games. There have even been rumors swirling that Kelce could be preparing to pop the question to the “Bad Blood,” singer. But nothing has come to fruition — yet.
