Travis Kelce’s approach to handling flirty fans has been revealed by comedian Ron Funches, who got an inside look while the NFL star was filming the quiz show Are You Smarter Than A Celebrity? Funches appeared as a guest on Kelce’s new show, which premiered earlier this month on Amazon Prime and was filmed over the summer in California.
In a recent interview with US Weekly, Funches shared that despite Kelce’s highly publicized relationship with music superstar Taylor Swift, some fans still tried to flirt with him on set.
“One of my favorite things I actually saw—and I don’t want to give any spoilers—but occasionally, some people tried to hit on him,” Funches revealed. “Watching him shut that down was really sweet and nice to see. You can tell he’s really committed to her.”
Funches’ comments offer a glimpse into Kelce’s dedication to his relationship with Swift, even in the face of admiration from fans. The comedian also hinted that Swift herself may have made a surprise visit to the show’s set. “We may or may not have heard whispers that she came by,” Funches teased. “I didn’t see her, but I did hear whispers.”
Kelce and Swift have been making headlines since going public with their romance in September, when Swift famously appeared at one of Kelce’s Kansas City Chiefs games, sitting alongside his mother, Donna, at Arrowhead Stadium. Since then, the couple’s relationship has become a hot topic, with fans and media closely following their every move.

Recently, Kelce’s family was spotted attending Swift’s Eras Tour show in Miami, while the Chiefs star was unable to join due to his team’s preparations for their game against the San Francisco 49ers.
On his New Heights podcast with brother Jason Kelce, Travis admitted to feeling major FOMO (fear of missing out) over missing the Miami concert. “Well, I had all the FOMO in the world with the entire family and a lot of our friends being there,” he confessed. “Man, I wish I was there.”
This weekend, Kelce will be back on the field as the Chiefs take on the Las Vegas Raiders, aiming to extend their unbeaten 6-0 start to the season. Meanwhile, Swift is set to perform in New Orleans as her Eras Tour continues its final leg.
As Kelce’s relationship with Swift continues to garner attention, it’s clear that the NFL star is handling both his newfound celebrity status and his romance with the pop icon with care.
Despite the attention from fans, Kelce seems fully committed to Swift, and with their relationship thriving, the two continue to dominate both sports and entertainment headlines.
