CONFIRMED: Travis Kelce Shocks NFL World by Choosing Philadelphia Eagles for Next Season, Focused on Honoring His Brother Jason Kelce’s Legacy

Travis has been playing for Kansas City Chiefs for 11 years

Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce is going from tight end to game show host, as new reports claim he is hosting an updated version of the television show Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?

Production has reportedly already begun in Los Angeles on the series called Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity?, which is why the NFL star and girlfriend Taylor Swift have been spending so much time in the city. Variety first reported the news in March, sharing that there were some concerns “about how much of a commitment Kelce could make to the venture if he continues playing football”.

He will need to return to Kansas City for training in mid-July ahead of the new NFL season kicking off in September, and his schedule for the following six months will be tight.

HELLO! has reached out to Amazon and reps for Travis for comment.

Travis’ decision to make the move into hosting comes after he has already been making small steps into the world of entertainment.

In 2016 he was the star of his own reality romance show, Catching Kelce, but in recent years he has hosted Saturday Night Live and made the move to begin producing films and documentaries: his first film My Dead Friend Zoe, premiered at SXSW earlier in March, and King Pleasure, an upcoming documentary about Jean-Michel Basquiat, will go into production later in 2024.

It was thought that Travis would travel to Europe in May with Taylor as she begins the fourth leg of her Eras Tour in France.

The superstar wrapped up the third leg of her Eras Tour with six nights in Singapore in February – and she ended it with another shout out to boyfriend Travis, changing the lyrics in ‘Karma’ to “Karma is the guy on the Chiefs, coming straight home to me”.
