“I met Julia Roberts in Ireland, in Dublin,” the Kansas City Chiefs tight end gushed during the 'New Heights' podcast listeners Wednesday. “That was pretty cool,” the NFL star said.
The 34-year-old tight end described Roberts, 56, as “awesome” and opened up about their fun interactions with Stevie Nicks in the VIP tent during the show.
The encounter was captured on video by a fan and quickly went viral. Some social media users called out Roberts for grazing Kelce’s chest during their conversation, with comments labeling her as “handsy” and thought that Kelce was “uncomfortable.” However, many defended the veteran actress, noting that “some people are just touchy like that” and “she’s old enough to be his mom.”
Nikki Glaser weighed in, calling Roberts’ actions “too much” in an Instagram Story. Glaser’s parents also expressed their disapproval, with Julie Glaser referring to Roberts as “gross” and Edward Glaser commenting that Kelce seemed to be “trying to get away.” Julie later apologized for her choice of words.
Despite the online backlash, Kelce had nothing but praise for Nicks, whom he spent time with at Hacienda Bar later that evening. “She is every bit of whatever everyone makes her out to be,” he said.
“She is so awesome. … Some of these people you meet and you’re like, ‘I don’t know what I’m doing here. You are unbelievable … and I am just a jabroni supporting his girlfriend.’ It’s just so much fun.”
Kelce, who has been dating Taylor Swift since July 2023, shared his delight in participating in Swift’s London shows and even taking the stage during the 'Tortured Poets Department' set. “I had a blast being a ham with Swift,” he said, adding that he felt he could “do no wrong” with her onstage.
Reflecting on his time in Ireland, Kelce fondly remembered having “some Guinness” and playing “some snooker.”
He concluded, “Ireland was fun. It was a good time.”
