On handling the spotlight that comes with being Taylor's boyfriend he said, "I just always felt comfortable with the camera on me and the lights on me. And sure enough, I love a good challenge I get excited for a challenge.

"Something I haven't done before, or something that really makes me focus and be or do something I haven't done before. There's something about that that I have a love for." 

Kelce and Swift's relationship began to flourish during the 2023 NFL season. However, back in 2016, the tight end participated in the reality dating show 'Catching Kelce'.

"Oh no, the reality show is in my past, I don't think I'll ever do another," he said with a laugh.

Kelce said, "I tell you what, I'm going to have to be out on that. But who knows? Maybe (brother) Jason and (his wife) Kylie - you pick up the reality life." 

The recently retired Eagles center, Jason, documented his 2022 season, including his Super Bowl showdown with Travis, for an Amazon Prime series. Despite their competitive matchup, the brothers maintain a close relationship.

Travis emphasized the importance of Jason in his life, stating, "He's been there for me really all throughout my life."
