Travis Kelce’s mother, Donna Kelce, recently admitted that the Kansas City Chiefs star loves being the center of attention. 

Kelce was already pretty popular because of what he’s been doing on the football field, but the Pro Bowl tight end is now an even bigger household name due to his relationship with pop sensation Taylor Swift, who he began dating last year. 

Mama Kelce was recently interviewed by Extra and was asked how Travis has handled the increased popularity and suggested he has no problem with the heightened scrutiny given his celebrity coupling. 

“He’s always been one to be in the limelight. He loves attention. I mean it, he’s always dancing, always joking around, always having fun… he just loves life,” she said.

“It just seems like his life is on a trajectory that just is rising every single day. Every time I turn around, I’m seeing him doing something different – whether it’s on the golf course, or at a concert, or whatever, he’s just having his best life right now.”

Donna Kelce Says Travis Kelce’s Antics Are Mostly On Purpose

Donna also said that the three-time Super Bowl winner does a lot of stuff on purpose to get people to react. 

“A lot of the antics that he does, whether it’s on the field or elsewhere, even with his clothes sometimes, he’s like, ‘I just want a smile out of people’,” she added.

Still, Donna is impressed with the way her son has handled his newfound fame and thinks he’s done “pretty well” considering the high-profile relationship.

Swift has been among Travis’ loudest supporters since they began dating. She attended 15 Chiefs games last season and has kept up appearances this term, although she missed his most recent outing. 

For his part, Kelce has shown up for his other half around the world, having attended several concerts in various countries over the last several months.
