Kansas City Chiefs player (and current beau of Taylor Swift) Travis Kelce is a fan of Hallmark movies. During a recent episode of his podcast, New Heights, the NFL tight end told comedian Andrew Santino that he enjoys the Kansas City-based company’s films.
“Are you a Hallmark guy, Trav?” Santino asked.
“I dabble now. Yeah,” Kelce said.

Kelce’s admission that he enjoys a good Hallmark romance movie like the rest of us comes as the football player begins to explore acting and filmmaking.
He recently served as executive producer on the film My Dead Friend Zoe by Kyle Hausmann-Stokes, which debuted in March at the 2024 South by Southwest festival. He is also working on a documentary about artist Jean-Michel Basquiat. Titled King Pleasure, the film will make use of “never-before-seen home movies, notebooks, photographs, animation and interviews,” according to Deadline.
Kelce is also interested in appearing before the camera. In an interview with People magazine, he said he enjoyed his experience hosting Saturday Night Live.
“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,” Kelce said.
He’s also one of the hosts of the new game show Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity?, a spinoff of Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?
Hallmark movies
Though Kelce did not mention specific Hallmark movies, he did say he is a “huge fan” of the company, mentioning that it has its headquarters in Kansas City. When Santino asked if he was sure, Kelce replied, “I mean, I’ve been there for…eleven years. I see it all the time.”
Shortly before the 2024 Super Bowl, the Kansas City Chiefs released a spoof trailer for a Hallmark-style movie to promote the team. In the short clip, Jannel Parrish played a woman whose football-obsessed fiancé left her at the altar. Tyler Hynes played a Kansas City Chiefs super-fan who tries to keep his love of the team under wraps while he pursues a romance with her.
The trailer also starred Donna Kelce — mother to Travis and Jason Kelce — as a kindhearted stranger who gives Parrish some friendly advice. The clip went viral on YouTube.
Hallmark fans
Kelce is not the only celebrity to admit to loving Hallmark movies. In 2021, musician Rob Thomas described himself as a “Hallmark movie geek.”
He said he watched the Hallmark Christmas movies non-stop while working on his album There’s Something About Christmas Time. His favorite is the 2008 rom-com The Most Wonderful Time of the Year, which starred Henry Winkler, Brooke Burns, and Warren Christie.
