Travis Kelce Allegedly Has His Sights Set On Hollywood Post-NFL: 'He’s A Natural On Television'

Could Travis Kelce be the next big thing in Hollywood, or have the best of both worlds once his NFL career ends? Industry insiders certainly think so!

The Kansas City Chiefs tight end is allegedly making rounds in the entertainment industry, as big shots like Netflix are interested in working with him once he's done with sports.

Some sources say Travis Kelce may not need to leave sports completely, as he could make a name for himself as a sports analyst like other former NFL stars. Besides his possible career moves, the athlete is getting ready to tie the knot with pop star Taylor Swift.

Industry Insiders Say Big Things May Happen In Travis Kelce's Future

According to new reports, many in the entertainment industry are gearing up for a chance to work with Travis once he ends his time as an NFL athlete. An industry insider had plenty to say about his Hollywood potential, claiming he could become the next big thing.

"To me, he's an extremely valuable media personality in a polarized country. He appeals to everybody, and almost everybody knows who he is," the insider raved. They dubbed Travis "charismatic" and "a future NFL Hall of Famer," telling Page Six:

"He's a natural on television. He's smart, he's funny, he's authentic."

The insider compared Travis to the famous Manning brothers, noting that he could become as big as the trio if he worked with his older brother, Jason Kelce. The siblings currently co-host the "New Heights" podcast after signing a three-year deal.

The Kelce Brothers Scored A Massive Podcast Deal In 2024

Travis and Jason reportedly collaborated with the podcast company Wondery to develop their show for $100 million in August 2024. The brothers have since grown their YouTube followers to over 3 million, an achievement the insider saw as a sign of their potential in the entertainment industry.

John Kosner, a sports media advisor, echoed similar sentiments, claiming, "ESPN could potentially team the brothers up. They're even better together than they are separately." Jason played for the Philadelphia Eagles until 2024 and later bagged a $24 million contract with ESPN.

The three-year deal made Jason a sports analyst for "Monday Night Countdown," a route Kosner believed Travis could take after leaving the NFL. However, he believed the athlete had a higher chance of succeeding as a sports analyst if he teamed up with his older brother as a "package deal."

Taylor Swift's Fiancé Could Have The Best Of Both Worlds

While some insiders believed Travis could either be a sports analyst or join the entertainment industry, others claimed he could have the best of both worlds. Industry sources alleged that big shots like Netflix were interested in working with the NFL star.

One source claimed the streaming platform's chief content officer, Bela Bajara, might have been in talks with Travis's team. However, they didn't know the details of these alleged meetings because "everything at this level would be kept top secret for now."

Another source alleged that Travis' managers, twins Aaron and André Eanes, were spotted at Zooey Deschanel's Christmas bash in Los Angeles on December 13. They were reportedly cozying up to TV and movie stars, including "White Lotus" producer David Bernad, sparking speculations of a new show in the works.

The Retirement Talks Began In 2024 After The Super Bowl Loss

Rumors of Travis's retirement first made waves in 2024 after the Kansas City Chiefs lost the Super Bowl to the Eagles. They suffered a shocking 40-22 defeat, with The Blast reporting that the tight end shut down the speculations with a bold statement.

Travis announced that he would return for the 2025 season, but the retirement rumors returned after the Chiefs failed to reach the playoffs for the first time in 11 years. The team currently sits at third in the AFC West and 10th in the AFC overall.

When asked if the team's December match against the Broncos would be Travis's last, coach Andy Reid could not give a clear answer. Instead, he shifted the reporters' focus on the athlete's performance and personality, dubbing him a "great" person and player.

Travis Kelce's Soon-To-Be Mother-In-Law Played A Key Role In His Blossoming Romance

Days earlier, The Blast covered the latest episode of Taylor's "End of an Era" docuseries, where her mother, Andrea Swift, made an appearance. The matriarch revealed that she played a key role in her daughter's relationship with Travis.

According to Andrea, she had been surfing the internet one day when she stumbled across Travis's confession about his interest in the "Fate of Ophelia" hitmaker. She immediately contacted her cousin, whom she considered an expert on NFL players, to get details about Travis.

Andrea was sold by what she heard, especially about Travis's close relationship with his mother. Next came the challenging part: convincing Taylor to give the athlete a chance. Fortunately, she managed to convince her daughter, and the rest is history.
