Taylor Swift is loving Travis Kelce’s ‘dad bod’ as he ‘rewards’ himself after his Super Bowl victory – as the smitten couple continue to party and enjoy quality time together
Travis Kelce may have gained a few pounds since his Super Bowl victory with the Kansas City Chiefs last month, but it hasn’t deterred his girlfriend Taylor Swift, who insiders claim is “loving his new dad.”
The NFL tight end, 34, went topless when he hit the beach with the singer, also 34, last week during a romantic getaway in the Bahamas after months of jet-setting around their hectic schedules.
On Wednesday, Travis joked about his current weight on his New Heights podcast, telling his brother Jason that the freedom in the offseason has helped him move up a class after gaining about 30 pounds.
But his his current physique reportedly has the seal of approval from his girlfriend, who has no qualms about his figure.
“When it comes to Taylor’s thoughts on his changing body – she loves it,” an insider revealed exclusively to DailyMail.com.

“Travis and his dad are the reward he gives himself for winning an epic Super Bowl season, and during his offseason — since he’s been able to party and spend some quality time with Taylor — he’s not training the way he does that. he usually does while resting.”
The insider adds that Taylor believes her partner “deserves” to let go, adding, “She thinks he’s hot in all incarnations and thinks he deserves it.”
‘She knows he will be back at his best later this year, and where he is now is no problem at all.’
The source then joked, “And if this is ultimately the alternate body he’ll have after he retires, it’s still not a bad body to look at.”
Travis, who weighs about 250 pounds during the NFL season, talked to his brother Jason about his changing appearance in New Heights as they debated who can drink the most.
Travis joked that he was currently in the same weight class as his 283-pound sibling, who recently announced his retirement from the NFL.
When asked who would win a drinking contest between them, Jason said: “I can definitely drink more volume, I don’t even think that’s a question.”
A shocked Travis asked, “Whaaaaaat? You’re already at 260.’

While details about the clip’s origins remain a mystery, it was posted to X on December 18.
Travis and Taylor recently returned to the US after a holiday in the Bahamas, where they were pictured frolicking on the beach and enjoying a kiss in the ocean.
The much-needed vacation came after months of flying around the world to see each other amid their busy schedules.
The insider added that Taylor believes her partner “deserves” to let loose during his off-season, as they continued, “She thinks he’s hot in all incarnations and thinks he deserves it”
The source added, “During his offseason — since he’s been able to party and spend some quality time with Taylor — (Travis) hasn’t been training the way he usually does while resting.”
But things have slowed down for them lately, with the final leg of her Eras Tour wrapping up earlier this month and the athlete’s soccer season coming to an end in February.
“This is the first time they have no commitments and they are both really looking forward to being a normal couple and playing around the house,” a source previously revealed to DailyMail.com.
Taylor is known for spending her free time baking and entertaining friends – and the singer is said to be looking forward to doing the same with her partner.
“She’s looking forward to sleeping in and cooking dinner at home,” the source continued.
‘They both want their relationship to be as normal as possible and it works because they are both very aware of their fame but don’t let it go to their heads.’
However, the duo will still have to travel back and forth between their home bases in Kansas City, Missouri, and New York City as Taylor prepares for the release of her next studio album, The Tortured Poets Department, on April 19.
Things have slowed down for the pair lately, with her final leg of the Eras Tour ending in early March and the athlete’s soccer season coming to an end last month.
The insider continued, “They will split their time between his home and NYC. Taylor is away from Eras until May, but that doesn’t mean she’s gone completely.
“She is working on her efforts for all things Tortured Poets in April, and Travis will be there every step of the way.”
The New York Post recently revealed the shocking amount of money Travis reportedly spent courting Taylor.
The publication estimated that he spent a whopping $8 million on everything from private jet rides to lavish gifts, including a reported $22,000 on Valentine’s Day presents alone.
The gifts are said to include a slew of designer clothing and accessories, a 24-karat gold rose sculpture worth $3,050 from luxury furniture company Perigold, and two boxes of 250 “eternity roses,” which are said to last and cost up to a year. $2,199 each.
After a wild six months full of busy schedules, constant travel, and cameras surrounding their every move, the couple was said to be planning to “play house.”
And it didn’t stop there. It was also reported that he gifted her a $1,050 Dior beret, a $1,100 Celine hat, a $5,100 Bottega Veneta bag, and a $1,300 Hermès Chevaux Dechaines scarf.
Last but not least, the athlete reportedly got himself and Taylor, whose net worth is estimated at $1.1 billion, custom-made matching bracelets with the letters TNT – which stands for Taylor ‘n’ Travis – written in diamond-encrusted gold beads.
The outlet claimed that Travis has already spent more than $1.2 million on private jet rides so he could support his girlfriend at her shows.
However, Travis’ biggest expense by far was the new house he had to buy after starting dating the hitmaker.
He bought a 17,000-square-foot mansion in the Kansas City suburb of Leawood for $6 million, after his $1 million home reportedly made him feel “self-conscious.”
His new abode comes with six bedrooms, six bathrooms, a “Beverly Hills-style” pool, a six-car garage, a tennis and pickleball court, a miniature golf course, a wine cellar, a two-level movie theater, and a large garden to give him and Taylor ‘extra privacy’ from fans and the media.
