The Man Everyone's Talking About
You're likely hearing about Travis Kelce all over the news, but whether it's because you're a football fan or a Taylor Swift fan, how much do you actually know about the guy? Behind his great performances as a professional football player, there's more to him than meets the eye. Here are five fun facts to learn about Travis Kelce.
1. Brotherly Competition
Looks like athleticism and talent run in the family! Travis Kelce faced off against his very own brother, Jason Kelce, in the 2023 Super Bowl. Travis ended up victorious, winning the game with the Chiefs, but the two were still able to set their competitive sides down and congratulate each other when it counted.

2. An All-Around Athlete
Though Travis is admired for his amazing football skills, it turns out his athletic nature doesn't just end there. In high school, he played a number of different sports like basketball and baseball. He loved baseball so much, probably would've played professional for it if football didn't work out.
3. He's An Engaged To Taylor Swift
Talk about a powerhouse celebrity couple! One dominates in the sports world, the other in the music industry. The two have been a hot topic since they first started dating, with recent news breaking out that the two are finally engaged. We imagine their wedding is going to be plastered on every social media outlet when the time comes!

4. He Starred In A Dating Show
Back in 2016, long before he met Taylor Swift, Travis once starred in his very own reality dating show titled Catching Kelce. He dated the winner for a few months after, but nothing much came from it. It's now just considered a fun but embarrassing piece of his past.

5. Difficult Last Name
While everyone both in the media industry and online seems to pronounce Kelce like "Kell-see," the proper pronunciation is supposedly "Kelse." After his family got tired from having to constantly correct everyone, they just decided to adopt this mispronounced version of their last name.
