Travis Kelce dissociates himself from the trending Patrick Mahomes’ ‘dad bod’ lifestyle with the Chiefs

Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes have struck up the kind of partnership and camaraderie that has inspired envy around the NFL.

Mahomes and Kelce appeared at the Big Slick 2024 charity event, in support of Children’s Mercy Hospital in Kansas City. The star-studded event counted actors Paul Rudd and Jason Sudeikis among its hosts, but much of the excitement centered on the Chiefs stars, and what happened when they tried to pull on their jerseys.

Granted, Mahomes and Kelce were wearing more-formal attire befitting the occasion, making it difficult to put on their red Chiefs jerseys. But as Mahomes struggled to put his on, claiming it was “dad bod season,” Kelce quickly chimed in and chided his teammate for the excuse.

“I have no kids,” Kelce said, referencing Mahomes’ children Bronze and Sterling while requiring assistance to put his own jersey on. “This is just what it looks like at 35.”
