Kansas City Chiefs’ Travis Kelce, 34, is gearing up for his first gig as a game show host on Prime Video’s celebrity edition of “Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?” and he’s not just prepping questions, but also his look.
Fresh Trim for the Spotlight
Kelce’s trusted barber, Patrick Regan, recently showcased the NFL star’s new haircut on Instagram Stories. While the front of his hair remains in its classic fade style, the back appears noticeably shorter, deviating from his usual buzz cut.
The snapshot also gives a glimpse of Kelce’s trademark beard, indicating he’ll maintain his signature facial hair on-screen.
Getting “Showtime Ready”
During his grooming session, Kelce sported a custom “87” Chiefs jersey cape, reminiscent of his pre-Super Bowl ritual in 2024.
This indicates that Kelce is pulling out all the stops to ensure he’s “showtime ready” for his new hosting role.
Busy Schedule in LA
According to insiders, production for “Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity?” is already underway, explaining Kelce’s extended stay in Los Angeles.
This marks another venture into television for Kelce, who previously hosted “Saturday Night Live” in March 2023 and made a surprise cameo on the show later that year.
Expanding His Portfolio
Beyond hosting, Kelce has expanded his role to include producing. His recent projects include “My Dead Friend Zoe,” which premiered at SXSW, and the upcoming documentary “King Pleasure” about Jean-Michel Basquiat, slated to begin production this summer.
Balancing Work and Personal Life
Despite his busy schedule, Kelce has been enjoying downtime with girlfriend Taylor Swift in California. The couple was spotted on a date night at Nobu in Malibu, showcasing relaxed styles for the occasion.
Their relationship remains strong as they continue to spend quality time together amid their respective professional endeavors.
