NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Travis Kelce and Colin Jost appeared together on a podcast and ended up having a surprisingly candid, real-time conversation about their relationships with two of the most famous women in entertainment, Taylor Swift and Scarlett Johansson.
The discussion leaned into what it’s like being the 'less famous' partner in relationships that are constantly in the spotlight. Travis playfully posed the question, “How nice is it to be the less famous person in the relationship?” Jost didn’t hesitate, replying, "Huge relief. Really."

Dealing with fame is not something that comes with training. It is something people learn while living through it. That is what both Kelce and Jost seem to be doing while being linked to two of the most famous women in the world, Swift and Johansson.
On the Wednesday, May 13, episode of Travis and Jason Kelce’s 'New Heights' podcast, the conversation was light and honest, with both men sharing similar experiences.
The 'Saturday Night Live' comedian said that because he is also publicly recognizable, people sometimes approach him more easily.
He explained that fans often recognize him from TV and speak to him like they already know him. This can also take attention away from his wife, Johansson, when they are together in public.
He also shared a funny example, saying that even simple things like ordering food can get messy. When someone recognizes Johansson, attention shifts, and small details in the order can get missed.
Kelce laughed during the discussion as Jost explained these lighthearted moments. He also agreed, saying he understands the situation and joking about being in the same position. Jost said both he and Kelce can relate to the experience, while Kelce added, "I’m on the team. I’m here for it."
