Not only does Travis Kelce score touchdowns, but he also makes people giggle. The 35-year-old tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs hosted Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity on Prime Video. and couldn’t help but make a joke about intelligence and fatherhood.
In a humorous scene from Tuesday’s show, Kelce responded to Ryan Fitzpatrick, a guest, who asserted that having children made you “wiser.” The NFL player joked, smirking as usual, “Is that what happens when you have kids? You get more intelligent? That was all I needed to do to become brilliant, man? Fitzpatrick responded cheekily, “Just have a baby,” which caused the audience to erupt in shouts and laughter.
Online discussion was triggered by the lighthearted encounter, and fans quickly linked Kelce’s remark to his highly publicized romance with pop phenomenon Taylor Swift. One user mocked, “He’s already catching baby fever!” while another said, “Not Travis blushing.” A third admirer couldn’t contain their admiration for Kelce’s infectious smile, writing, “His reaction to the mention of babies.” Naturally, a comment about the “So High School” singer’s admirers had to be written, with the words “Wait the cheers of swifties in the audience.”
When it comes to his family intentions, Kelce has hinted before. When he made a joke about 7-foot-4 NBA sensation Victor Wembanyama on his New Heights podcast, which he co-hosted with elder brother Jason Kelce, back in March, he gave away some of his future intentions.
“You can’t tell me that dude wasn’t made in a f–king lab over there in France…. Lab-grown diamonds? That’s a lab-grown f–king NBA player. Can’t wait ‘til I f–king make one,” he teased, leaving fans speculating whether he was talking babies—or diamonds. Jason, ever the voice of reason, jumped in to caution, “Don’t do this. Do not give these conspiracy theorists anything else to latch onto, please.”
And it gets better. In April, Kelce suggested a future baby name during an interview with Arnold Schwarzenegger. While gushing over Conan the Barbarian, the NFL champ teased, “I might name my first kid Conan. I might!”
