While Travis Kelce has been a big deal for football lovers for years, it’s only in the last year that the entire world has become complete obsessed with the Chiefs tight end.
Since dating Taylor Swift, every aspect of his life has become a topic of interest: his career, his family… his thoughts on starting a family!
Does Travis Kelce have children? NO.
But does Travis Kelce want kids? Yes, and just like it sounds: the sooner, the better!
Travis Kelce has already picked out baby names
Even though Travis Kelce doesn’t have any children yet, he has given the matter some serious thought.
At least that’s what it seems from some of the comments he made on his podcast.
We’ll talk about his search for a “breeder” in a moment, but recently Travis told listeners who tuned in to his April 3 show with guest Arnold Schwarzenegger that he had actually picked out a name for his future child.
“I could name my first child Conan. Maybe so,” he confessed to Arnold.
It’s worth noting that Schwarzenegger famously starred in the hit 1982 film Conan the Barbarianand that this may have just been one of Travis’ “jokes” to rouse the Swifites.
But it’s still not a bad name!
Travis Kelce & Kids: I’m looking for a “breeder”
Let’s take a step back for a moment – a step back to February 2023.
At the time, Travis was about to face his brother Jason Kelce in the Super Bowl.
Jason’s wife, Kylie Kelce, was pregnant with their third daughter and the world was pretty obsessed with the growing Kelce brood.
None more so than her mother, Donna Kelce.
In an episode of their podcast New Heights, Travis and his brother joked with their mom before the big game about who she’s rooting for in the big game. Jason argued that Donna was on Team Eagles because, unlike Travis, he had given her grandchildren.
Travis, who had no children then or now, admitted that since he was single at the time, he had to start catching up if he wanted to stay in his mother’s good graces.
In what was obviously a joke – if we may say so, a poor one – Travis began “breeding” and made an appeal to the women who might have him.
“To all the breeders out there,” he said, later adding, “I’m going to find a breeder and have kids so mommy can love me again.”
The backlash from Swifties and his mother doubles
The comment went unnoticed by most until Travis started dating Taylor Swift.
As the couple became more serious, rumors began to emerge that they might be getting engaged and discussing plans to start a family.
The comment then resurfaced and many found the joke to be in poor taste.
While Travis never commented further on the joke, his mother made sure the world knew where she stood with her sons.
Donna admitted Entertainment tonight that she favors Jason because he gave her grandchildren.
“Right now, Jason has a little head start because of the grandkids,” Donna said before the 2023 Super Bowl, “but I’m sure Travis will catch up soon.”
Soon? Um, I don’t think so. Let’s see if she can make it to the Super Bowl to cheer him on before anyone makes suggestions, little Traylors, right?
Travis Kelce jokes about Taylor Swift’s pregnancy
As it turns out, Travis has a habit of going out on a limb when it comes to his podcast.
It’s very likely he’s doing it on purpose and enjoying all the drama it causes.
But in March 2024, he actually hinted that he couldn’t wait until Taylor was pregnant because he “can’t wait” to create a little human himself.
As you can imagine, this was a big day for Travylor conspiracy theorists!
Uncle Travis is a big hit
If you want to see Travis hanging out with some little ones right now, look no further than his three nieces.
Uncle Trav loves to dote on his brother’s three daughters, Wyatt (4), Elliotte Ray (2), and Bennett (9 months).
“He’s like the absolute best uncle you could imagine,” Kylie told PEOPLE in early 2023. “He’s totally into it.”
Sounds like that’s enough for now, right Trav?
