Kansas City Chiefs star tight end Travis Kelce has shut down a rumor about his personal life that has rapidly spread across the internet.

The 35-year-old Travis Kelce is in a highly publicized relationship with Taylor Swift, the world’s biggest music star. As such, it’s safe to say that Kelce is used to being the subject of gossip and baseless rumors.

Recently, a rumor surfaced about Kelce buying a $3.3 million home in Kansas City that would house homeless youths. Speaking on the latest episode of the “New Heights” podcast that he co-hosts with brother Jason Kelce, however, Travis clarified that the rumor is false:

“I gotta make a little statement in the ‘don’t believe everything you read, kids’ category or nice realm that you see online. Some false claims were thrown out there that I was doing something in the community that I was not, and I’m not even gonna talk about it specifically. I don’t want to bring any more attention to that whole nonsense and article and all that stuff…

ever want to know exactly what I’m doing in the community, just go to 87running.org. We’re always trying to get out there in and get in the Kansas City communities and the Cleveland community. But this time, I wasn’t doing what was falsely claimed by the social channels or the outlets posting all this A.I. stuff. So, just wanted to set the record straight.”

As the two-year anniversary of his relationship with Swift approaches, multiple reports have suggested that Travis Kelce could soon propose to the Grammy Award-winning singer. Of course, only Kelce and Swift know deep down if an engagement is imminent.

After the Chiefs lost Super Bowl 59 to the Philadelphia Eagles, Kelce took some time to ponder his playing future before committing to a 13th season. The Chiefs fell 40-22 to the Eagles in the big game, falling short of the NFL’s first-ever Super Bowl three-peat.

Travis Kelce Looks To Rebound From Disappointing 2024 Season

2024 was easily the most disappointing season of Kelce’s career, as far as individual production goes. The 10-time Pro Bowler finished with 97 catches for just 823 yards and three touchdowns, with the latter two stats marking Kelce’s lowest since he became a regular starter in 2014.

Throw in the miserable loss to Philadelphia in Super Bowl 59, and it was an all-around challenging year on the field for Kelce. We’ll see if he can bounce back in what may very well be the final season of his illustrious career.
