, the NFL star, has been head over heels for his girlfriend,
Taylor Swift
, for years. The chemistry between them has been dazzling, and the fans cannot stop gushing about it. While they have been in the spotlight since before they even began dating, the Kansas City Chiefs player opened up about the miscalculation about the paparazzi and the attention he would get after dating the billionaire pop star.
Travis Kelce opens up about 'Lights, Camera, Smile' moments
In a conversation in the Bussin' With The Boys podcast, the 35-year-old athlete became candid about the constant cameras and flashes that surround them, which he did not grasp until he was in the situation. After Swift completed her highest-grossing 'Eras Tour' and Kelce's NFL season ended, they tried to be under the radar for a while. However, the media gaze never ended, especially during the dates or hangouts in the city.
Kelce revealed that he did not predict such an intense shift in his life after they made their relationship public. 'Yeah, it's just the paparazzi. That's probably the only thing I didn't grasp until you're in it,' he said about how he misjudged, before adding, 'That's probably the craziest thing.'
Travis Kelce has to be careful...
Travis continued stating that he has to be careful about everything and anything he does in public, as there could be cameras hiding in the bushes as well.
'Like, I'm just playing golf, and all of a sudden, in the trees, there's just a f–king guy with a camera,' he said.
Furthermore, Travis mentioned that even the simplest things need a second thought before doing them, adding, 'I can't just go over here and take a piss.' While he has never been afraid of slamming beers, he doesn't want his embarrassing moments on the media pages. 'I don't want my meat on Page Six,' he commented, adding that he has to be cautious in public.

Aaron Rodgers blames his family for betrayal amid growing rift, is a potential reconciliation possible?
Aaron Rodgers may be starting afresh with his wife Brittani, but beyond his public life, there seems to be a lingering scar that refuses to fade. The NFL star's tense relationship with his family has long been one of the most talked about topics. Now, new information reveals how close Rodgers and his family came to making up – only for the rift to develop yet again. Aaron Rodgers' biographer Ian O'Connor said the family rift has gone on for more than ten years and also includes Rodgers' brothers(Getty Images via AFP) Rodgers blames family for betrayal and has shut the door on reconciliation. In an exclusive interview with Us Weekly, Rodgers' biographer Ian O'Connor shared that there was a small sign of hope in the fall of 2024. 'In the early fall of 2024, there were a couple of hopeful emails exchanged between Aaron and his parents,' O'Connor said. But it didn't last long. 'By the end of the 2024 football season, the tone of their communication had changed and that cautious optimism about a potential reconciliation faded.' Also Read: Can Aaron Rodgers pull a Tom Brady and Peyton Manning in discovering late-career success? Split came from a serious disagreement over… This isn't just about skipping family events. O'Connor said the rift has gone on for more than ten years and also includes Rodgers' brothers, Luke and Jordan. The real split came from a serious disagreement over faith and personal values. Rodgers never really related to his parents' strong evangelical beliefs, which they followed while raising their family in Chico, California. His outlook started to change during college at UC Berkeley. Aaron Rodger questioned 'the role of his family in his life' 'Aaron questioned and challenged everything,' O'Connor noted. 'He even questioned the role of his family in his life and came to believe that some family members were laying claim to his fortune and fame.' That mindset, O'Connor explained, led to what he called 'The Island,' a place where Rodgers shuts out anyone he feels has broken his trust. 'If you become a perceived obstacle in his path, you will be removed from his life,' he added. There was a short hopeful moment in 2023, when Aaron ran into his dad, Ed, at a celebrity golf tournament and said, 'I love you.' But even that emotional moment didn't lead to real progress. The clearest sign came in June 2025, when Rodgers said on ESPN's The Pat McAfee Show, 'I don't talk to' his family. 'They wouldn't know any information about me.' Even with all his football success, this private family issue still weighs heavily on Rodgers—and fame hasn't been able to fix it.

Prince Harry, Meghan Markle facing cash crunch? Report claims couple slashing staff as their Netflix deal ends soon
Prince Harry, 40, and Meghan Markle, 43, have slashed ties with their communications team as they focus on to oversee their finances more proficiently to save money, Page Six reported. It is not known whether Harry and Meghan are going through financial problems, irrespective of their smashing docu-series, "Harry & Meghan," and Meghan's Netflix show, "With Love, Meghan." The duo had a Netflix agreement reportedly worth up to $100 million, but that contract will end soon this year, media reports said. They have parted ways with their Los Angeles-based deputy press secretary, Kyle Boulia, as well as Charlie Gipson, who served as the couple's European communications director, besides Deesha Tank, director of communications at Archewell, and Lianne Cashin, who was previously head of operations at Archewell. The former working royals have faced a shrinking team since moving to the US, with reports suggesting strained relations between the Duchess of Sussex and several former staff members. Since moving to the US and stepping away from their royal duties, up to 25 staff members are reported to have left their employment with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. "It's the same old story – they cycle through staff as quickly as normal people cycle through toilet paper. Milk lasts longer than their employees," Page Six quoted a royal source as saying. Meredith Maines continues to serve as the couple's chief communications officer, having joined in February following the departure of their previous PR head, Ashley Hansen, who left to launch her own consultancy. The only remaining in-house representative is Emily Robinson, who, ironically, previously worked on the Netflix royal drama The Crown. Additionally, Maines has brought on a team from Method Communications to provide support. 'As the Duke and Duchess's business and philanthropic interests grow, I have made the strategic decision to move toward a more traditional communications structure of specialist agency support. Transitioning from a team of two to an agency support staff of eight, operating across five different time zones, will give international media and stakeholders better access, and critically, faster response times to inquiries,' she said, according to Page Six. An industry expert stated, 'In a financial sense, it's cheaper to employ a PR firm, as opposed having to full-time staff."
