According to the Daily Mail, Travis, the tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, recently made light of his current weight after pictures surfaced showing him with a 'dad bod' while on vacation with Swift last week.

Paparazzi caught them soaking up the sun at the beach, with attention drawn to the relaxed physique of the Kansas City Chiefs star during the NFL offseason.

During the latest episode of his podcast 'New Heights' with his brother Jason Kelce, Travis joked that he's now in the same weight class as his 128 kg (283 lbs) brother. The podcast also featured new Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley.

When Barkley asked the brothers who would win in a drinking contest, with the challenge of "Who's calling it quits?" Jason quickly chimed in, confidently saying, "I can definitely drink more volume, I don't even think that's a question."

Travis, looking surprised, responded, "What? You're already down to 260." After Jason revealed his actual weight of 283 pounds, Travis remarked, "We're in the same weight class now. It's March! We're in the same weight class right now."
