Travis Kelce is approaching a milestone as he prepares to celebrate his 36th birthday. The development centers on his candid remarks about not embracing birthdays, his brother Jason’s curiosity about his game-day stats, and playful exchanges that highlighted their latest New Heights podcast episode.
Travis Kelce talks about his birthday on podcast
Travis Kelce will celebrate his 36th birthday on Sunday, October 5. The Kansas City Chiefs tight end reflected on the occasion during the latest episode of New Heights with his brother Jason Kelce. “It’s not a good day, it’s just an annoying day for me,” Travis said. “I don’t want to get into the Grinch of birthdays, but I’m just not in on birthdays.”
Jason raised the idea of checking Travis’ performance in games played during his birthday week. Travis responded, “I don’t think we should look that up, because I don’t think they’re very good.” He dismissed the notion of discussing those stats further.
Now in his 13th NFL season, Travis has posted 15 receptions for 182 yards through the first four games. At this same point last year, he recorded 15 receptions for 158 yards. Jason also brought up the concept of numerology, joking, “I don’t know, is there any numerology? What’s the numerology with 36? Half of 72. Yeah. Twelve times three. Baker’s dozen. I don’t even know where I’m going with this.” Travis simply replied, “Alright. Exactly.”
Kelce enters this season after rededicating himself to the game following the Chiefs’ 2024 playoff exit. He spent the offseason slimming down and preparing for another campaign. Off the field, he has been seen alongside fiancée Taylor Swift.
Swift has attended both of Kansas City’s home games so far this year. She also appeared at Travis’ alma mater, the University of Cincinnati, when the Bearcats faced Nebraska. That visit came just two days after the couple announced their engagement in August.
In August, Swift also made a record-breaking guest appearance on New Heights. During the episode, she and Jason discussed her interest in numerology, which appeared to influence his remarks about Travis’ new age during the most recent show.
