Travis Kelce Reveals That He's a Fan of Hallmark Movies: 'I Dabble Now'

Travis Kelce is a fan of Hallmark's brand of feel-good films!

On the latest episode of the New Heights podcast he co-hosts with brother Jason Kelce, the Kansas City Chiefs player, 34, revealed that he has watched a few of the channel's movies now and then. 

The admission came after their guest, comedian and actor Andrew Santino, noted that his wife “loves Hallmark movies” when Travis brought up Lindsay Lohan’s latest film, Irish Wish. Santino then asked, “Are you a Hallmark guy, Trav?”

“I dabble now. Yeah,” the NFL tight end responded.

“Well, you like the cards, so you might as well like the movies,” Santino quipped in response.

Kelce then admitted he was a “huge fan,” while noting that Hallmark is a “Kansas City-based company.” This prompted Santino to question him on whether he was sure of that.

“I mean, I've been there for f------ 11 years. I see it all the time,” he joked.

The football star is no stranger to the filmmaking world, as it was previously announced that he's an executive producer of My Dead Friend Zoe, a war dramedy directed by Kyle Hausmann-Stokes that made its debut at the 2024 South by Southwest festival on March 9.

Last month, it was also announced that Kelce is reuniting up with My Dead Friend Zoe producers, Ray Maiello and Mike Field, to produce a new documentary about artist Jean-Michel Basquiat.

The late artist's estate gave Kelce and co. the go-ahead to produce the project, as well as access to Basquiat's archives, Deadline reported. Titled King Pleasure, the film will utilize "never-before-seen home movies, notebooks, photographs, animation and interviews" through the access from the artist's estate.

The NFL star previously told PEOPLE that he's "definitely interested" in doing more acting and exploring Hollywood ventures after football. He cited his experience hosting Saturday Night Live as one of the reasons behind his newfound aspirations in the entertainment industry.

"It was an experience that was like nothing else that I've ever gone through. ... I just can't thank them enough for giving me that opportunity, because I didn't know I was going to enjoy scripted comedy, or that entire entertainment world as much as I did, until I was on a set and going through the week of preparation and stuff like that," said Travis, who has also been confirmed as host of Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity?, a spinoff of Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader? that's set to stream on Prime Video.

"So I'm definitely interested [in pursuing more acting projects], but that's a whole new craft that I feel like I really got to lock in and focus on [before I do]," he added.
