Travis Kelce defends his ‘Dad bod’ after Chiefs star and Taylor Swift were spotted on the beach together in the Bahamas: ‘It’s March!’
Travis Kelce has joked about his current physique after photos of the Chiefs star rocking a ‘Dad bod’ on holiday with Taylor Swift surfaced last week.
Kelce and Swift, who have been dating publicly for the past six months, jetted to the Bahamas for a romantic getaway this month after the pop megastar wrapped up her latest round of Eras Tour concerts in Singapore.
Photographers caught the pair lapping up the sunshine at the beach on Thursday, with the Kansas City Chiefs star’s relaxed physique in the NFL offseason drawing attention on social media
And on the latest episode of his and brother Jason’s New Heights podcast, which featured a special guest in new Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley, Kelce joked that he is currently in the same weight class as his 283-pound sibling.

When Barkley asked the brothers who would win a drinking contest between them, Jason first said: ‘I can definitely drink more volume, I don’t even think that’s a question.’
Travis then said: ‘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.’
Kelce enjoyed a holiday with Swift in the Bahamas while unwinding in the NFL offseason, having helped Kansas City become the first back-to-back Super Bowl champions for almost 20 years last term.
His girlfriend racked up thousands of air miles travelling to watch him play for the Chiefs last season, while he also headed out to Australia to support the singer and songwriter on her Eras Tour last month.
During a portion of their interview with new Barkley, the Eagles’ new signing talked about wanting to be the next Apollo Creed, one of the main characters from the ‘Rocky’ film franchise.

Jason then told Barkley to ‘throw it out there’ because ‘stuff happens when it goes out on New Heights’.
Those comments referenced Travis gushing over Swift on an episode over the summer after he attended her Eras Tour in Kansas City. The younger Kelce wanted to meet Swift at the show, going as far to make her a friendship bracelet, common among Swift’s fans, with his number on it.
Although the meeting did not originally happen at one of her concerts, Swift later said his shout out to her on ‘New Heights’ got her attention and kickstarted their romance.
