Being in love can change a man.
Travis Kelce, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end, revealed his fondness for Hallmark movies on a recent episode of the New Heights podcast, which he co-hosts with his brother, Jason Kelce.
During the podcast, their guest, comedian and actor Andrew Santino, brought up his wife’s love for Hallmark films, prompting him to ask Travis if he shared the same sentiment. “I dabble now. Yeah,” Travis responded, showing his lighter side.
The conversation took a humorous turn when Santino joked, “Well, you like the cards, so you might as well like the movies,” linking Travis’s fondness for the brand with its Kansas City roots, where Travis has spent over a decade. “I mean, I’ve been there for f—— 11 years. I see it all the time,” Travis joked back, confirming his familiarity with the company’s local presence.
