Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce has revealed the one person he’d most like to have on his new television show Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity?
— and it’s not his high-profile girlfriend, Taylor Swift. Instead, Kelce named his older brother, Jason Kelce, as his dream guest for the show.
“My brother Jason would absolutely kill it on this show,” Kelce shared in an interview with Associated Press. “Without a doubt, if there’s one person I would recommend for it, it’s definitely Jason.
He would have fun and have some creative answers, even if he didn’t know the real answer.”
The three-time Super Bowl champion’s quiz show, which debuts on October 16, will feature celebrity contestants helping participants answer elementary-level questions. Kelce admitted that while he hasn’t watched any of the episodes yet, he’s looking forward to reviewing them. “I’ll definitely watch, but I’m actually terrified of watching myself in situations like this. I’m My Own Worst Critic—I can only see the bad that I do in anything, even on the football field.”
Although Kelce has been exploring off-field opportunities with acting and presenting, his heart remains with football. “I still love coming into work, getting after it, and chasing championships. That’s what I’ve always dreamed of doing, but in the offseason, I do like to dabble around,” the Chiefs’ tight end remarked.
Kelce’s new quiz show will feature comedians like Ron Funches and Nikki Glaser helping contestants win up to $100,000. One of the categories is astronomy, which Kelce humorously admitted he struggled with. “There’s an astronomy category. I didn’t know anything about that—and I still don’t!” he joked.
Swift and Kelce Families Bond at Donna Kelce’s Birthday Bash
While Travis Kelce is busy preparing for the launch of his new show, his family’s relationship with Taylor Swift’s family seems to be growing closer. Donna Kelce, Travis’ mother, recently celebrated her 72nd birthday with a special guest in attendance—Taylor Swift’s mother, Andrea Swift.
The two families came together for a sweet reunion at Donna’s birthday party, which featured a long conversation between the matriarchs. According to an insider, Donna and Andrea were spotted talking at length about their children’s relationship. “Donna told Andrea that she was happy to see their children happy together,” the source revealed. “Andrea nodded and said, ‘They look like children every time they are together. They are so cute.’”
The conversation between the two mothers reportedly lasted about 40 minutes, with both women clearly enjoying their time together. The friendly exchange further dispels previous media reports that questioned the seriousness of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s relationship.
While rumors of an engagement between Swift and Kelce have been swirling, Donna Kelce addressed the speculation in a recent interview. “Travis and Taylor don’t tell us anything,” she said, leaving fans to wonder what the future holds for the celebrity couple. However, their families’ growing bond suggests that the relationship is stronger than ever.
As Swift and Kelce continue to dominate headlines with their blossoming romance, the tight end remains focused on leading his team. The Chiefs are currently unbeaten at 5-0 and head into a bye week, giving Kelce time to relax and enjoy life off the field—perhaps even by catching up on his new show and spending time with Swift.
