Travis Kelce snubs Patrick Mahomes and family while naming his all-time favorite ‘New Heights' podcast guest
When Travis and Jason Kelce launched their 'New Heights' podcast back in September 2022, it was simply an entertaining side project between two NFL stars. Fast forward two years, and it has become one of the most popular sports podcasts on the planet, attracting millions of loyal fans and top-tier celebrity guests.
From its humble beginnings to a game-changing deal with Amazon's Wondery reportedly worth $100 million over three years, 'New Heights' is now more than just a podcast — it's a cultural staple.
Travis Kelce
reveals his favorite podcast guest, and it's not who you think
Travis Kelce, who is entering his 13th NFL season with the Kansas City Chiefs, continues to co-host the show following his brother Jason's retirement after the 2023 season. The chemistry between the brothers, their humor, and their raw behind-the-scenes NFL takes have helped elevate the podcast's profile far beyond traditional sports talk.

Over the years, 'New Heights' has welcomed a parade of A-listers, from movie stars like Brad Pitt and Adam Sandler to basketball legends like Shaquille O'Neal and Caitlin Clark. But during a candid conversation on the "Bussin' With The Boys" podcast, Travis Kelce was asked a simple question — who's been his favorite guest?
His answer came without pause:
LeBron James
.
'You know, I'm a Cleveland kid. I watched LeBron play in fing high school,' Kelce said.

'Getting him on the show felt like that true Cleveland connection. I knew a lot of people close to him for a long time, so it felt like I really understood who he was. When he came on, it just felt like we were homies forever. I've been a Cavs fan since I was like fing two.'
The connection runs deep. Raised in Cleveland Heights, Kelce's admiration for LeBron started at a young age. For someone who grew up idolizing the four-time NBA champion, sitting down with him as a peer was more than a career highlight — it was a personal full-circle moment.
LeBron, who is preparing for his 23rd NBA season, will become the oldest player in league history as he turns 41. Kelce, five years his junior, is also nearing the twilight of his own illustrious career. Both men have dominated their respective sports and are near-locks for Hall of Fame induction when they decide to call it a career.
While Travis Kelce has caught touchdowns and hoisted Super Bowl trophies, it's clear that meeting his childhood hero still tops the list of unforgettable moments. Sometimes, even legends have legends.

Patrick Mahomes' wife Brittany Mahomes may have sparked drama between Taylor Swift and Blake Lively with one party rumor
From champagne showers to cosmetic surgery rumors, Brittany Mahomes faced her share of controversies (Getty Images) Brittany Mahomes has become an unfiltered figure in the NFL world—not just as the wife of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes , but as a woman navigating constant scrutiny in the spotlight. Between her high-profile friendships, political controversy, and whispers of Hollywood-level gossip, Brittany's image has become both glamorous and polarizing. And she's not backing down. Brittany Mahomes faces cosmetic rumors and public judgment, but fights back with confidence In the past year, Brittany has been at the center of repeated speculation over her appearance, with whispers of a nose job and breast augmentation after giving birth to her third child. Beverly Hills plastic surgeon Dr. Patrick Davis told Nicki Swift that her nose appeared 'more thin and geometric,' pointing toward a possible rhinoplasty. However, Brittany has only confirmed Botox and fillers, clarifying during a 2023 Instagram Q&A. Her response to breast implant rumors was classic Brittany: 'Haters will say they are fake, but breastfeeding moms will understand.' The remark drew praise from fans who applauded her candidness, with comments like '#hotmomma' flooding her feed. In a since-viral Instagram story posted in August 2024, she added, 'I mean honestly, to be a hater as an adult, you have to have some deep-rooted issues you refuse to heal from childhood.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo That unapologetic energy defines her persona. Gossip, Taylor Swift , and Blake Lively : Did Brittany fuel celebrity drama? One of the more eyebrow-raising rumors? That Brittany spilled gossip at a birthday party about actress Blake Lively allegedly trying to have an affair with It Ends With Us co-star Justin Baldoni. This claim—brought forward by independent journalist Katie Paulson via alleged Instagram screenshots—suggests Taylor Swift, close friends with Lively, was 'over Blake and uninterested in this fight.' While unverified, the gossip adds fuel to ongoing speculation about Brittany's place in the Swift circle, especially given Swift's rising influence within the NFL world, thanks to her relationship with Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce . Brittany stirred more controversy when she liked a pro-Donald Trump Instagram post in August 2024. Given Patrick Mahomes' biracial background and his decision to remain politically neutral—saying 'I want people to use their voice'—the move sparked backlash and even divorce rumors. Trump later praised her on Truth Social, adding further fuel to the divide.

Offset says 'you can't get rid of me' after Cardi B deleted Stefon Diggs from Instagram
didn't need a caption or a statement to let the world know something was off, she just pulled a stealthy social media hit job. One second, Stefon Diggs was all over her Instagram, boat pics, cuddles, and soft-launch moments galore. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The next? Poof . Deleted. All of them. No warning. No drama. Just a quiet purge. But leave it to Offset to bring the noise because he immediately hopped on Instagram Live with the most unhinged ex-energy ever. Cardi B wipes Stefon Diggs from her page without a word and the silence was deafening Over the weekend, fans noticed every single photo of Stefon Diggs disappeared from her Instagram. Not one was spared. Their Paris trip? Gone. The yacht flicks that had the internet screaming? History. It was a full-on digital cleanse, and she didn't offer even a 'thank u, next' to soften the blow. What made it louder was what she didn't say. No cryptic lyrics. No angry posts. No "y'all will find out soon enough" stories. Just vibes. Or, rather, no vibes at all. Offset goes live with a creepy quote that fans say was definitely about Cardi Right on cue, Offset decided it was his moment to… be weird? He hopped on Instagram Live and said the most bone-chilling ex statement of the year: 'You can't get rid of me. I'm like cancer. You can't get rid of the cancer.' "Can't Get Rid Of Me" Offset Pops Off After Cardi B Deletes Stefon Diggs Pictures From Her IG Page! Uhhh, sir?! Fans immediately pieced it together: Cardi deletes Diggs, Offset goes live hours later with that mess of a metaphor? Yeah, he knew what he was doing. He didn't name names, but the subtext was crystal clear. Fans called it 'delusional,' 'unhinged,' and 'the soft launch of a midlife crisis.' Some even wondered if Offset was just waiting for the Diggs thing to fumble so he could try and slide back in. If so, he might want to try literally anything else. So did Cardi and Stefon actually break up or is this album rollout behavior? Cardi's timing was chef's kiss suspicious. Just days before the photo wipe, she kicked off her album rollout with the single 'Outside' and started teasing her new era, Am I the Drama? Coincidence? Probably not. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now PR stunt or not, though, Diggs is now MIA on her grid, and fans are scrambling for answers. Some believe it's just a marketing move; maybe Cardi wants to focus on music without a messy public relationship in the mix. Others think things may have soured behind the scenes, and the NFL star just got quietly benched. For now, Stefon still has photos of Cardi up on his page, but it's giving 'she dumped him and he's still in denial.' Also read -

Hailee Steinfeld finds peace at home as Mitchell Trubisky gives Josh Allen added security on Buffalo Bills' roster
Josh Allen gears up for another NFL season as Hailee Steinfeld finds comfort in the Bills' quarterback depth (Getty Images) As Josh Allen enters yet another high-stakes NFL season, Hailee Steinfeld can breathe a little easier knowing her husband has some added protection behind him. The Buffalo Bills' front office has brought back veteran quarterback Mitchell Trubisky, signaling a clear move to reinforce the team's quarterback depth—and it might be just the kind of insurance policy Allen needs in the league's most unpredictable sport. Buffalo looks to Mitchell Trubisky to stabilize backup quarterback concerns Although Josh Allen has started 104 consecutive regular-season games, the Bills are no strangers to the injury toll the NFL exacts. With Allen being the team's undeniable centerpiece, the front office's decision to re-sign Trubisky—who once led the Chicago Bears to the playoffs and earned a Pro Bowl nod—was both strategic and essential. While the 2017 No. 2 overall pick hasn't lived up to franchise quarterback expectations, his record of 31 wins to 26 losses proves he's more than capable in a support role. General Manager Brandon Beane reaffirmed this open competition culture, stating, "We don't lock in many spots here. Obviously, we know number 17 (Josh Allen) is locked in, but every year, you basically have to come in and earn your job. I know Mitch knows that. He doesn't expect anything different." Josh Allen and 5Steinfeld's bond shines even in the trenches of NFL life Despite his demanding career, Allen continues to share a solid partnership with his now-wife, actress and singer Hailee Steinfeld. Their much-talked-about wedding wasn't just a Hollywood spectacle—it was a celebration that even included members of the Bills' inner circle, including Trubisky. The bond between the two quarterbacks appears genuine, adding a layer of camaraderie to the roster dynamic. Trubisky's return brings comfort not just to the Bills coaching staff, but potentially to Steinfeld as well, who has been trying to keep her personal life more grounded despite her stardom. With Allen's MVP-caliber play and Trubisky's reliability, the Bills seem better prepared for whatever the 2025 season may throw at them. Also Read: Hailee Steinfeld celebrates one year of Beau Society with Josh Allen by her side and a surprise in the works Allen's mission remains incomplete—bringing the Super Bowl back to Buffalo for the first time since 1993. While he's transformed the franchise's image and made postseason appearances the norm, the Lombardi Trophy still eludes him. With better protection behind center, and a bit of peace of mind for the people closest to him, the Bills may finally have the right mix of star power and stability to chase that dream again.
