Travis Kelce makes surprising career decision amid Taylor Swift romance
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 which is why the NFL star and girlfriend Taylor Swift have been spending so m
uch 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.
