As he approaches his 35th birthday, Travis Kelce’s life has been nothing short of extraordinary, both on and off the field. The Kansas City Chiefs recently wished “Killa Trav” a wonderful birthday in a joyful message on Instagram and X (previously Twitter).
The post included a video showcasing Kelce’s fashionable game-day ensembles, accompanied with Joey Valence and Brae’s “Hooligang.” It also contained a red and gold banner. Along with his brother Jason Kelce, he co-hosts the “New Heights” podcast. The podcast also celebrated his birthday with a video of amusing moments from the show titled, “HAPPY BIRTHDAY @killatrav.” I hope you laugh uncontrollably today.”

For Kelce, this has been an incredible year. Not only did he secure another Super Bowl win in February, but his personal life also took an interesting turn as his romance with Taylor Swift caught headlines. Swift’s social media following has grown dramatically since her Chiefs game debut in September 2023. His Instagram following almost quadrupled, while the number of YouTube subscribers to the “New Heights” podcast increased by 170%.
The popularity of Kelce extends beyond football. In the much anticipated part of Ed Lachlan in FX’s “Grotesquerie,” he made his acting debut. Moreover, he is poised to host “Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity?” on Prime Video, a rebranded version of the beloved “Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?” about which he remarked, “I’m excited to be following in the footsteps of so many TV icons by hosting my very first one.”
Kelce stays committed to football despite his popularity on social media and TV shows. His 917 receptions last season shattered the franchise record set by the Kansas City Chiefs, demonstrating his continued dominance on the field. With a record of 4-0, the Chiefs are aiming for an unprecedented third straight Super Bowl victory.
In honor of his 35th birthday, Kelce hosted the inaugural “Kelce Car Jam” event in Kansas City, which featured high-end cars in addition to some of his personal favorites. He got to spend the day, for once in a lifetime, with his older brother Jason Kelce, who left the NFL earlier this year. “Well, that one will be a lot of fun because October 5th is Travis’s birthday. Thus, I’ll be able to visit him and share in his birthday celebration,” Jason said to PEOPLE.
Travis Kelce’s life is an impressive tapestry of success, spanning from outstanding sports accomplishments to a thriving TV career and a well-publicized romance. He is an example to young people everywhere as he keeps redefining what it means to be an athlete in the present day.
