Travis Kelce, the Kansas City Chiefs’ standout tight end, finds himself in a unique position when it comes to intimacy issues — he simply cannot relate.
During the Wednesday, October 30 “Heights Hotline” bonus episode of his hit podcast New Heights, Travis candidly shared that he has never experienced a dry spell in his love life, suggesting that his high-profile romance with pop icon Taylor Swift is anything but monotonous.
The discussion kicked off when a listener sought advice on dealing with a lack of physical affection from his wife, particularly in their intimate moments. Expressing his perplexity, the 35-year-old Kelce remarked, “I have no idea what that’s [like],” which subtly indicates that his own relationship with Swift, 34, is flourishing and filled with chemistry.
Offering practical tips, Kelce advised the caller to create a romantic ambiance. “Maybe try some candles, scatter some rose petals, and be a bit more romantic,” he suggested enthusiastically. He continued, “Taking her to a nice restaurant is always a good move.” The athlete stressed that sometimes proactive gestures show dedication: “Beat her to the punch, let her know like, listen baby, I’m trying.”
Kelce’s brother, Jason, 36, who has been in a loving marriage with his wife, Kylie Kelce, since 2018, chimed in with his own relationship wisdom. He humorously highlighted the distinction between male and female perspectives by stating, “Women don’t always want to have sex.” Jason underscored that women value being pursued, and emphasized that “acts of service” can significantly enhance romantic moods. In a light-hearted moment, the topic of clothing arose, with Jason jokingly suggesting that wearing tight pants might just ignite the passion.
As the conversation took a playful turn, Travis encouraged trying new things, such as role-playing, or even visiting a novelty store for some bedroom toys. “You know, go to Spencer’s and grab some stuff!” he laughed, infusing humor into the discussion.
Fans were all in for the insightful comments from the Kelce brothers, flooding the podcast’s Instagram with their reactions to a clip of the episode. One thrilled fan gushed, “I love how Travis is like just do things without her having to ask for it!! 🥰” Another remarked, “I do appreciate that Travis is suggesting (in his own words) that the caller learn his lady’s love language for starters.” Enthusiastic followers also requested a follow-up segment featuring Taylor and Kylie, with one asking, “Can you do a part 2 but bring Tay and Ky to answer this question 🤣 please?”
Since the highly publicized debut of Travis and Taylor’s relationship in September 2023, the superstar couple has been spotted enjoying each other’s company in various affectionate outings and shows no signs of shying away from public displays of affection.
