“I’ve been receiving possible story ideas featuring him ‘left, right, and center,’” she said, adding to the speculation that Kelce might be expanding his acting portfolio with a guest spot on 'SVU'.

The prospect of Travis Kelce joining the cast isn't far-fetched at all. In fact, both Kelce brothers have previously expressed their admiration for 'Law & Order' in interviews.

In a November 2023 episode of their popular podcast 'New Heights', the two reflected on their childhood obsession with crime dramas.

“Honestly, if Law & Order is on, I’ll just sit there for, like, five minutes and if I catch on, I am just there for an hour,” Travis admitted.

Jason chimed in, saying, “If I ever just hear ‘dun-dun', I just sit down and ‘here we go.’”

Interestingly, they’re not alone in their fandom; Taylor Swift, who is currently dating Travis, is also a known enthusiast of 'Law & Order'.
