Travis Kelce has opened up on the “worst thing” he’s ever done—and it has nothing to do with football. Shortly after the Kansas City Chiefs tight end made his first Pro Bowl in 2016, he starred in a cringeworthy dating show called Catching Kelce. The premise was that 25-year-old Kelce would look for love from a pool of 50 women, one from each of the 50 U.S. states. “The worst thing I ever did was the dating show. It didn’t set me up for anything,” he admitted on the Bussin’ With The Boys podcast. “I didn’t realize what reality TV really was.” He also said he was approached to do Quarterback, a television documentary for Netflix. “After [Patrick Mahomes] did it, I did get asked about it,” Kelce said. He wasn’t interested, however: “I’d rather just play ball, man,” he said. “I’m already doing enough with the podcast and everything. I’m way over the reality s*** dude. I’m out on that s***.” Kelce is Taylor Swift’s boyfriend.
