Travis Kelce reveals truth behind his '25-pound weight loss'
Share and Follow

Travis Kelce weighed in on his recent weight loss during a press conference Tuesday.

When asked by a reporter about recent reports suggesting he had shed 25 pounds during the NFL offseason, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end responded with a chuckle, expressing skepticism by saying, “Don’t believe all you read on the internet, guys, all right?”

While Kelce, 35, claimed he “never told anybody” he had dropped 25 pounds, he admitted he is “down some weight from the end of the season last year.”

According to the football star, “each year’s different” and requires athletes to “rebuild.”

He explained that this year he had the opportunity to focus on aspects like form running during the early part of the offseason, which he didn’t have time for last year. Feeling optimistic, he stated, “I got some time to really focus on some form running and some things early on in the offseason that I just didn’t have time for last year,” and believes that his efforts will soon “pay off.”

During an episode of “SportsCenter” over the weekend, ESPN personality Jeremy Fowler asserted that Kelce would showcase a slimmer appearance as he made his way to minicamp for the week, adding to the speculation surrounding the player’s physical condition.

“He’s told people close to him that he’s lost about 25 pounds this offseason,” the journalist said. “Played a little heavier in 2024. It was sort of a thing. He vowed to change it, and he has.”

Kelce, whose forthcoming NFL season could be his last before retirement, is “still a productive player” whose teammates “want to go to him on third down, but [he’s] been declining a little bit,” Fowler argued.

“So he’s trying to be slimmer and has gone hardcore this offseason to make it work.”

Kelce previously admitted to gaining weight ahead of the 2024-25 season.

During a March 2024 episode of his “New Heights” podcast, he quipped that he and his older brother, Jason Kelce — who weighed 280 pounds at the time — were “in the same weight class.”

Jason, a retired Philadelphia Eagles center, pointed out that Travis had “been drinking more.”

Following his third Super Bowl win in February 2024, Travis and his girlfriend, Taylor Swift, traveled all over the world together in celebration.

That June, he and his teammate Patrick Mahomes poked fun at their “dad bods” after struggling to fit into their jerseys for the annual Big Slick Celebrity Party.

“This is dad-bod season,” the quarterback, who shares three kids with his wife, Brittany Mahomes, quipped.

“I have no kids,” his pal responded. “This is just what it looks like at 35!”

Since the Chiefs suffered a massive blow in this year’s Super Bowl, Travis and Swift have stayed out of the spotlight.

In fact, he has spent most of his time in Florida, preparing for the 2025-26 season.
