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.

Why Travis Kelce reportedly won't propose Taylor Swift anytime soon despite her massive milestone and ongoing romance support
Insider claims Travis Kelce won't propose to Taylor Swift soon (Getty Images) As Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce 's romance continues to keep their fans engaging, their bond appears to be deepening quietly behind the scenes, even as public speculation looms large. In the midst of high-profile challenges—from Swift facing boos during the Super Bowl to Kelce receiving backlash for his on-field performances—their connection seems to have held steady. Still, fans hoping for a wedding announcement may need to wait a while longer. Is Travis Kelce taking time to propose to Taylor Swift? Insider reveals reason behind his surprising decision According to sources cited by Daily Mail, Kelce is unlikely to propose in the immediate future. 'Travis isn't going to ask for her hand in marriage this weekend,' an insider revealed. While the NFL star is believed to be serious about their relationship, the timing simply isn't right. 'He is likely going to pop the question, but it is going to be when he isn't playing anymore and not getting ready for a big NFL season,' the source added, pointing to Kelce's current professional priorities. Swift, fresh off the conclusion of her globally successful Eras Tour, has opted for a quieter existence—at least for now. The usually prolific songwriter has gone unusually silent. 'If she is about to drop any new music, she hasn't told anyone, even people who are very close to her haven't been made aware of anything new coming out,' a source told Daily Mail.

Taylor Swift set to become Chiefs' biggest fan as she commits to Travis Kelce's full 2025 season
Taylor Swift is attending numerous Kansas City Chiefs games this NFL season (Getty Images) For the first time since she and Travis Kelce began dating, Taylor Swift is entering an NFL season without the crushing demands of a global tour. With her record-breaking Eras Tour officially wrapped, Swift is prioritizing time with her boyfriend — and that means a front-row seat to the Kansas City Chiefs' 2025 campaign. Taylor Swift clears her fall schedule to fully embrace Chiefs Kingdom alongside Travis Kelce According to a PEOPLE insider, 'Taylor plans to be at as many of his games as possible,' signaling a shift from a relationship long shaped by flight itineraries and tour stops to one rooted in routine, support, and shared Sundays. Swift wrapped up her 149-show, five-continent Eras Tour in December 2024 — an undertaking so massive it often meant red-eye flights between shows and stadium seats, trying to steal moments with Kelce between NFL road trips and post-show decompression. But now, with no performances standing in the way, the Grammy winner is reportedly 'really looking forward to the upcoming NFL season.' As the source emphasized, 'It's the first season where she's not constantly flying back and forth or working around an entire touring calendar.' The couple's early relationship played out under a cloud of chaos — Swift was on the move constantly, and Kelce was juggling football, fame, and family. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like An engineer reveals: One simple trick to get internet without a subscription Techno Mag Learn More Undo 'The past two seasons were a whirlwind between performing across multiple countries, long flights, and trying to squeeze in alone time together wherever possible,' the insider added.

"He got tired of that BBL smell": Fans slam Cardi B after she deletes Stefon Diggs pics — is the drama just getting started?
Cardi B and Stefon Diggs: A love story wiped clean from Instagram in just weeks (Getty Images) Cardi B and Stefon Diggs appeared to be living their fairytale just weeks ago — lavish getaways, yacht cuddles, and castle stays — but now, that picture-perfect romance might have come to an abrupt halt. In a surprising twist, the rapper has completely scrubbed all traces of the New England Patriots wide receiver from her Instagram, leaving fans to wonder: is it officially over? Fans call out Cardi B after she silently dumps Stefon Diggs online The timing couldn't be more shocking. Just last month, the 'WAP' hitmaker made things Instagram official with Diggs, showcasing a seemingly blissful Memorial Day weekend in Miami. The couple was seen cozying up on a yacht, with Cardi flashing the kind of smile that screamed new love. Fans swooned as she shared roses and teddy bears — widely believed to be thoughtful gestures from the NFL star. Then came their much-talked-about French escape. Diggs pulled out all the stops by renting the enchanting Château de Farcheville for their romantic getaway. Cardi even shared a video, marveling at the grandeur of the castle: 'Why this man got us staying in a castle? I'm talking about a real castle.' The gesture had fans convinced this wasn't just a fling — it felt like something deeper. But fast forward to this past weekend, and things have taken a drastic turn. All of those dreamy snapshots and sweet moments have vanished from Cardi's feed. No more yacht pictures, no castle clips, no Diggs at all. Adding fuel to the breakup buzz, the rapper posted a cryptic story from Paris that simply read, 'sooo tired.' No mention of the NFL star. No explanation. Fans on social media have been quick to pick sides, with some surprisingly blaming Cardi for the alleged fallout, while others speculate that Diggs may have crossed a line. One video that resurfaced from their Miami trip showed the wide receiver chatting with several women on the same boat, sparking early whispers of potential drama. One fan with the username @Glotoshi commented, "Diggs hit it and quit it." While another named @SirTrenchAlot went further and said, "He got tired of that BBL smell." A third user @suayrez said, "Bro didn't renew the 30 day trial." Cardi B erases Stefon Diggs from IG and fans think the split is official (Image via X) The romance had kicked off with flair earlier this year. The two were first spotted getting close in NYC, danced the night away, and soon spent Valentine's Day together. Their courtside debut in May at Madison Square Garden during an NBA playoff game further confirmed their couple status. Cardi's new relationship followed a rocky period in her personal life. After years of ups and downs with Offset — with whom she shares three kids — she filed for divorce again in 2024. The rapper later claimed Offset had rarely visited their youngest daughter, Blossom, born in September. Now, as the Cardi-Stefon saga seems to cool down, the internet is left buzzing: was this a breakup, or just a social media reset? For now, Cardi's silence speaks volumes.
