Travis Kelce may have packed on a few pounds since achieving a Super Bowl victory with the Kansas City Chiefs last month – but it hasn’t deterred his girlfriend Taylor Swift, who insiders claim ‘loves’ his new ‘dad bod.’ The NFL tight end, 34, went topless as he hit the beach with the singer, also 34, last week during a romantic getaway in the Bahamas after months of jet setting around their hectic schedules.
On Wednesday Travis joked about his current weight on his New Heights podcast, telling his brother, Jason, that freedom in the off season has seen him go up a class after gaining about 30lbs.
But his current physique reportedly has the seal of approval from his girlfriend, who has no qualms with his figure. ‘When it comes to Taylor’s thoughts on his changing body – she loves it,’ an insider exclusively revealed to DailyMail.com.
‘Travis and his dad bod is the reward he is giving himself for having an epic Super Bowl winning season, and during his offseason – since he has been able to party and spend some quality time with Taylor – he isn’t training the way that he usually does as he is resting.’
The insider adds that Taylor believes her partner ‘deserves’ to let go, adding: ‘She thinks he is hot in all incarnations and thinks he deserves it. ‘She knows he will be back to peak level later this year, and where he is at now is not a problem at all.’
The source then quipped: ‘Plus, at the end of the day, if this is the alternate body that he will have after he retires, it still isn’t a bad body to look at.’ Travis, who weighs about 250lbs during NFL season, addressed his changing appearance with his brother, Jason, on New Heights as they debated who can drink the most.
Travis joked that he was currently in the same weight class as his 283lb sibling, who recently announced his retirement from NFL. When asked who would win a drinking contest between them, Jason said: ‘I can definitely drink more volume, I don’t even think that’s a question.’ A shocked Travis asked: ‘Whaaaaaat? You’re already down to 260.’
After Jason told him he actually weighs 283 pounds, the Chiefs tight end laughed: ‘We’re in the same weight class now. It’s March! We’re in the same weight class right now.’ It comes months after an old shirtless clip of the tight end got fans hot under the collar in December.
In the clip, which is only a few seconds, a topless Travis glides one hand down his middle before running his hand through his hair. While details about the origin of the clip remain a mystery, it was posted on X on December 18.
Travis and Taylor recently returned to the US after enjoying a break in the Bahamas where they were pictured frolicking on the beach and enjoying a kiss in the ocean. The much needed vacation came after months of flying around the world to see each other amid their busy schedules.
