Travis Kelce had to 'deal with' weight gain when he was a child and wanted to go to fat camp

Yahoo19-03-2025
Travis Kelce had to "deal with" weight gain when he was a child. The 35-year-old footballer admitted that he was a "heavyweight" during his youth thanks to his love for pastry snacks, whilst his brother and fellow sports star Jason, 37, is more "newly founded" to the idea of having to watch his waistline. Speaking on Wednesday's (19.03.25) episode of his 'New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce' podcast, he told guest Ben Stiller: "I was a heavyweight growing up. Jason, he didn't get fat until he went to office. We switched places growing up. So Jason is more newly founded into it. "He was chubby, I wouldn't say he was fat. I think I was dealing with my love for honey buns. That's what I was kinda dealing with more." The Kansas City tight end then mentioned to Ben his 1995 comedy 'Heavyweights' and noted that he always wanted to go to a fat camp similar to what is portrayed in the movie. He said: "I saw 'Heavyweights' and was like, 'Oh, man. If there's a camp out there like that, I wanna go to it. Just kids that can be fat together and hide candy in their beds. "Kids that never really lived up to the excellence of their brother and just the expectations that their parents set for themselves." Ben explained to Travis - who has been in a relationship with pop superstar Taylor Swift for almost two years - that it would be unlikely for such a film to be made these days. He said: "My character [a camp counselor] is so mean to these kids who are dealing with weight issues. I just don't think that's getting off the drawing board these days."

Chiefs' Chris Jones expresses marriage desire after messy split from longtime girlfriend

Kansas City Chiefs defensive tackle Chris Jones may have gotten a bit too real at training camp this week. The Chiefs' social media team continued the tradition of asking players a question as they walked through the grounds at training camp. On Wednesday, the question was: "What's one thing on your bucket list you haven't completed yet?" Chiefs defensive lineman George Karlaftis expressed an interest in going to Japan, cornerback Jacobe Covington wanted to go skydiving, and linebacker Brandon George added that he wanted to go to Brazil. But when Jones appeared, he poured his heart out a little bit. "I just wanna be married, I just wanna be loved," he said. The New York Post noted that Jones' remarks came after his ex-girlfriend Sheawna Weathersby accused him of cheating. The two apparently split some time between the end of 2024 and the beginning of 2025. "I'm choosing to focus on the positive as I close this chapter on a 9-year relationship. Ultimately Chris' infidelity with the woman he's recently been pictured with led to my decision to end our relationship months ago," she wrote in a post on her Instagram Stories in March, according to the New York Post. "This is especially troubling given her history of harassment, stalking and disrespect towards me, including constantly calling and messaging me and my close friends from text free apps and fake Instagram pages. This behavior has forced me to change my number and has forced Chris to ask her multiple times to please leave me alone and respect our coparenting dynamic." Jones acknowledged in January that he was single, but he has not addressed the cheating allegations. The two share two children together. Jones, a three-time Super Bowl champion and six-time Pro Bowler, is entering his 10th season with the Chiefs. He had five sacks in 15 games last season.

Travis Kelce Doesn't Fit Into Blake Lively & Ryan Reynolds' ‘Curated' World, ‘Source' Says

Travis Kelce seemingly never clicked with Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively despite their closeness with Taylor Swift. Earlier this year, reports alleged the NFL star unfollowed the 'Deadpool' star after his girlfriend got involved in Lively's legal drama with Justin Baldoni. Kelce and Swift, who once went on double dates and attended the Super Bowl with the married pair, have since maintained their distance. Now, a source claimed that the athlete never fit into the Hollywood couple's 'curated' world. Travis Kelce believes in living his life frill-free, says 'source' Rob Shuter #ShuterScoop learned that Travis Kelce has maintained his distance from Ryan Reynolds amid rumored tensions between Blake Lively and Taylor Swift. A source claimed that he had never been a fan of the celebrity couple despite their previous closeness. Kelce reportedly believes in living his life frill-free and thinks Reynolds is 'more Hollywood than human.' These new claims emerged months after he unfollowed the actor on Instagram. The Kansas City Chiefs tight end has remained distant from the couple with whom he and Swift once shared romantic date nights. Additionally, the insider believes that he finds the Marvel star 'funny' and insincere at the same time. They alleged that Kelce doesn't fit into their 'curated celebrity world' and prefers a 'grounded' and 'Midwest' life without any 'frills.' Moreover, he has always been 'Team Taylor,' and never 'afraid to show it.' Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift once went on double dates with Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively. However, there have been rumors of tensions between the two couples since Lively filed the lawsuit against her sexual harassment lawsuit against her 'It Ends With Us' co-star Justin Baldoni in December. Baldoni then responded with a $400 million countersuit, named-dropped Swift in the filings, and even subpoenaed her in the following months. Both Kelce and the Grammy winner have since stepped back from their close connection with Lively and Reynolds. Reports have even alleged that the two friends' decade-long friendship has reached a point where it's beyond repair. In some updates surrounding the legal drama, Baldoni's team withdrew his subpoena to Swift, and a judge dismissed his countersuit.
