When it comes to his palate, Travis Kelce admits that being with Taylor Swift has sparked a newfound sense of adventure. The Kansas City Chiefs star suggests that his fiancée’s influence has helped him shed his long-standing reputation as a picky eater.

During the latest installment of the New Heights podcast, released Wednesday (May 6), the topic arose while Kelce was chatting with his brother, Jason Kelce, and their guest, Kylie Kelce. When Jason hinted at positive changes in Travis’s lifestyle, Kylie chimed in, noting that the NFL star has become significantly more daring when trying new cuisines.

“Honestly, I feel more like a man when I’m around her,” Travis quipped with a laugh, referencing his willingness to step outside his comfort zone. “I’m actually eating things I never would have tried before.”

The siblings reflected on their shared history as selective eaters, a habit they’ve held since childhood. However, Travis’s culinary evolution is clearly underway, bolstered by Swift’s own kitchen talents; he has frequently praised her homemade contributions, ranging from artisanal sourdough to from-scratch Pop-Tarts.

Beyond the dinner table, the couple—who got engaged last August—is looking toward their future. While they remain tight-lipped regarding specific wedding arrangements, Travis expressed genuine excitement for the big day during a discussion with special guest and golf pro Rory McIlroy. After McIlroy described the unique joy of bringing together childhood friends and family from different walks of life, Travis couldn’t hide his enthusiasm, simply stating, “I can’t wait.”
