NFL stars Travis and Jason Kelce, hosts of the New Heights podcast, couldn’t hold back their laughter during their latest episode thanks to a surprise voice message from actor Ryan Reynolds. Known for his comedic wit, Reynolds, 48, sent a playful promo for Mint Mobile, the phone company he co-owns, which also sponsors the podcast.
“It looks like we actually have a message here from our guy Ryan Reynolds himself,” said Travis, 35, grinning as he set up the recording. “Hi, it’s Ryan Reynolds here for Mint Mobile,” began Reynolds’ message.
“If you can hear my voice, it means you’re most likely a football fan or a 30-something-year-old woman,” he joked, nodding to the podcast’s diverse audience—particularly those who tune in for the connection to Travis’s girlfriend, Taylor Swift.
Reynolds continued, adding a tongue-in-cheek remark about the crossover appeal of New Heights: “This podcast has an insane crossover appeal that I’m not totally sure I understand, but I think it’s great!” The actor then playfully clarified, “Oh, apparently this podcast is about American football, not the superior sport of Canadian football.” Wrapping up, he quipped, “The Mint Mobile phone plan is what football fans and 30-something-year-old women can all root for.”:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():focal(749x19:751x21)/travis-jason-kelce-013023-1-916684ff6fda41229597952b7bc22390.jpg)
Travis was delighted by Reynolds’ message, calling him “literally the greatest,” while his brother Jason, 36, added, “That’s awesome.”
Reynolds and his wife, Blake Lively, have been frequently spotted with Travis and Swift, 34, recently, underscoring the growing friendship between the two couples. The foursome was seen on a double date in New York City on October 11 and attended Swift’s Eras Tour concert at the Caesar Superdome in New Orleans on October 25.
Fan videos captured Reynolds and Lively, 37, in matching outfits, dancing and embracing in the VIP area as Swift performed “I Can Do Better with a Broken Heart.” The interactions highlight the dynamic friendship and playful camaraderie Reynolds has with the Kelce brothers, marking yet another memorable moment in the entertaining crossovers of sports, music, and Hollywood.
