Travis Kelce’s Playful Jab at NFL Offseason Weight Gain Leaves Fans Guessing

Travis Kelce joked that he and brother Jason Kelce are finally “in the same weight class” as he continues to make the most of his NFL offseason.

During Wednesday’s episode of their “New Heights” podcast, the Kansas City Chiefs star, 34, and the recently retired Philadelphia Eagles center, 36, got into an argument about who can drink more — with Travis claiming Jason can no longer use his weight as a deciding factor.

“I can definitely drink more volume,” Jason told guest Saquon Barkley, causing an uproar from his younger brother.

“You’re already down to 260… we’re in the same weight class now,” Travis said with a smile.

Although Jason clarified that he actually weighs around 280 pounds, his younger brother joked that it made no difference due to his opulent off-season lifestyle.

“283? Alright. Still, it’s March! We’re in the same weight class right now!” he said, prompting both brothers to burst into laughter.

Even the father of three, who announced his retirement from the NFL earlier this month, agreed that Travis has “been drinking more” than he has in recent weeks.

The tight end has been jet-setting around the world alongside girlfriend Taylor Swift in the month following his third Super Bowl win.

From the shores of Australia to the skyscrapers in Singapore, the pair have been taking advantage of each new city by hitting some of the hottest sights and restaurants together while in town.

In fact, the couple was photographed lounging in the Bahamas last week amid the “Cruel Summer” singer’s months-long hiatus from her record-breaking Eras Tour.

Swift and Kelce, who started dating last summer, were spotted wading through the crystal-clear water hand-in-hand.

While the NFL star wore blue patterned swim trunks, Swift showed off her fit physique in a cheeky yellow bikini by Montce (top $143, bottom $94).

The couple looked smitten as they sat in the shallow water, kissing and laughing outside their $15K-a-night rental home.

The ultra-exclusive Rosalita House is located on Harbour Island and features six bedrooms, butlers, a gym, pool and more.

Once back on shore, Travis kept the pair’s refreshments flowing as he went over to a makeshift bar on the beach to grab them each a new drink.

Following their PDA-packed vacation, the pair flew to California, where they were spotted having a “really romantic” lunch date at Nobu in Malibu.

The couple, who were seated at a patio table overlooking the ocean, reportedly shared “a few dishes,” including the lobster salad and a couple of sushi rolls, per Us Weekly.

After fueling up at lunch, the twosome reportedly got a workout in at Dogpound, a celebrity-loved gym that Swift has gone to for years.

While it’s unclear if the pair followed the same workout routine or did their own thing, Swift’s strenuous Eras Tour fitness routine would put even the best of athletes through the wringer.

The “Anti-Hero” singer revealed to Time in December that she ran on the treadmill while singing her entire nearly four-hour set list “out loud” every day for six months while preparing for the taxing tour.

Following the hours-long cardio sessions, the singer jumped into a specialized weights training program and dance lessons.
