Kansas City Chiefs' Travis Kelce gets new nickname in Podcast

Kansas City Chiefs star tight end Travis Kelce is living a real-life romantic comedy that his brother Jason joked could be a 'Pretty Woman' movie in reverse.
The duo, who have become increasingly popular with their New Heights podcast, shared some light-hearted banter about the classic film.
He recently highlighted Travis's high-profile relationship with global pop icon Taylor Swift.
During a recent New Heights episode, the Kelce brothers discussed the iconic movie Pretty Woman . Travis sparked the conversation by suggesting a twist: a movie called 'Pretty Man.'
He imagined a CEO billionaire woman so refined and high-class that she's clueless about everyday things, according to Athalon Sports.
Jason quickly fired back with a joke that hit close to home. 'Travis, you're living Pretty Man right now,' he said, causing both brothers to burst into laughter.
The comment playfully referenced Travis's relationship with Taylor Swift, portraying him as the high-class 'Pretty Man' in their dynamic.
This banter offers a fun look into the personal lives of these two athletes beyond the football field.
The story of Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift adds an entertaining crossover between sports and music culture.
In South Africa, where both American football and international celebrity culture continue to gain interest, their relationship highlights the allure of celebrity power couples worldwide.
Jason Kelce, a well-respected NFL player himself, also revealed how their podcast has grown in popularity.
It's a platform where Jason and Travis Kelce give fans a peek into their lives, blending sports insight with humour and brotherly love.
Their playful references to Hollywood blockbusters like Pretty Woman show the lighter side of professional athletes, often lost amid headlines about scores and drafts.
As their story unfolds, audiences can appreciate how the Kelce brothers blend charm and wit. It's proof that, beyond athletic prowess, personality and relatability can captivate fans worldwide.
In Travis's words, straight from the podcast: 'We might just have to produce the 'Pretty Man' movie. Because I think I'm already auditioning for the role.'
And judging by Jason's laughter and quick quip, this 'Hollywood remake' is very much underway, with Travis Kelce starring as the leading man.

McIntosh makes golden start as Australia win world relay double

Teenage phenomenon Summer McIntosh captured gold in ominous fashion on the opening day of the world swimming championships on Sunday as Australia claimed a relay double in Singapore. The 18-year-old Canadian launched her packed programme with a dominant performance in the women's 400m freestyle, romping home in 3min 56.26sec, nearly two seconds clear of China's Li Bingjie, who was followed by American great Katie Ledecky in bronze. It was world record holder McIntosh's first world title in the event as she pursues five individual golds in Singapore. With Australia's Olympic champion Ariarne Titmus skipping the championships before she prepares for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, the race was billed as a showdown between McIntosh and Ledecky. But McIntosh grasped control early on and streaked further ahead as the race progressed. "I think the 400 freestyle in past world championships and Olympics, I haven't been at my best and I haven't been where I want to be," she said. "So to finally stand on the centre of the podium is promising for the rest of the meet." AFP | François-Xavier MARIT McIntosh, who broke three world records at the Canadian trials in the lead-up to the worlds, jumped straight back into the pool for the 200m medley semi-finals 20 minutes after winning gold. She qualified for the final with the fastest time, saying she was "in the best shape of my life". "Now I just have to act on that and put it into all of my races," she added. McIntosh was joined in Monday's 200m IM final by Chinese 12-year-old Yu Zidi. The schoolgirl, who juggles swimming with homework, squeezed into the final. "I'm in? Oh, I'm happy about that and I will continue to work harder," she said. "I hope to find a breakthrough at these world championships and show my potential." - Maertens pips Short - Germany's Lukas Maertens won a nail-biting gold in the men's 400m freestyle, pipping Australia's Sam Short by 0.02sec. Maertens, the Olympic champion and world record holder, became world champion in the event for the first time. German compatriot Florian Wellbrock won four golds in the open water events in Singapore and Maertens said their country had taken a "big step forward". AFP | MANAN VATSYAYANA "All the girls and guys are a really young team and there are a lot to come," he said. "Now I'm one of the old guys and I'm 23. That means a lot and I'm really proud to be in the German team." Maertens came home in 3min 42.35sec after a fierce battle with Short, the 2023 world champion. South Korea's Kim Woo-min, the reigning world champion, was third. Maertens was the favourite after breaking the world record in Stockholm in April, a mark that had stood since 2009. But Short fought him every stroke of the way, losing out after an incredible tussle to the finish. "There was a lot of pressure, also as the world record holder, it wasn't easy to fight these guys," said Maertens. Australia ended the opening night on a high after both their women's and men's teams won the 4x100m freestyle relays. The women's team of Mollie O'Callaghan, Meg Harris, Milla Jansen and Olivia Wunsch came home ahead of the United States, with the Netherlands third. Flynn Southam, Kai James Taylor, Maximillian Giuliani and Kyle Chalmers then completed the double, finishing ahead of Italy and the Americans in the men's race. Their winning time of 3:08.97 was a world championship record. "We've come together really well in camp and preparation -- we believed we could do it and we did it," said Chalmers. - US hit with illness - The US team is battling a stomach bug in the camp, with two competitors skipping their opening races. Torri Huske, a treble gold medallist at last year's Paris Olympics, and 18-year-old Claire Weinstein did not compete "so they could focus on other events", team official Nikki Warner told AFP. "Our team experienced acute gastroenteritis," Warner said. "No one has pulled out of the competition." Huske later competed in the relay final. By Andrew Mckirdy
