Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce appears to be laying the groundwork for a major career transition as speculation around his NFL retirement continues to grow, especially with his wedding to global pop star Taylor Swift reportedly planned for next year.
The 36-year-old NFL star has been at the center of retirement rumors since last season. Although Kelce decided to return for the current NFL season in hopes of ending his football career on a high note, the campaign did not unfold as expected. The Chiefs struggled with inconsistent performances, and many fans believe the team’s Christmas game may have marked Kelce’s final home appearance.
While Kelce has remained non-committal about retirement during media interviews, industry insiders suggest that his post-football plans are already taking shape. According to sources quoted by Page Six, Kelce and Swift are expected to spend most of their time in Los Angeles after tying the knot, signaling a potential shift toward entertainment and media.
Insiders claim Kelce’s management team has been seen meeting with prominent Hollywood figures, fueling reports of upcoming projects. “It looks like they have a project on the go,” a source revealed. Another insider added that Kelce is in discussions with producer Jeff Shaffer about a television project similar to Curb Your Enthusiasm, where Kelce would play himself and showcase his natural charisma.
Given his growing acting credits, highly successful podcast, and the possibility of collaborating with his brother Jason Kelce on a sports analysis show, Travis Kelce’s transition from NFL superstar to media personality appears increasingly likely. With his on-screen presence and star power, many believe Kelce is poised for success well beyond the football field.
