Travis Kelce Reveals Intimate Bedroom Detail in Cheeky Confession

Travis Kelce, who got engaged to Taylor Swift in August, recently shared the relatable way he likes to wind down at night in the bedroom.

Travis Kelce won’t have a cruel summer with this relaxing sleep routine.

The Kansas City Chiefs tight end, who recently became a top investor in Sleep Number, shared the relatable way he likes to wind down at night in the bedroom.

“I’m a full [sleeper],” Travis explained during the Jan. 28 episode of his New Heights podcast, referring to the brand’s options of a split or full mattress. “I like the full mattress because I like to roll into it and out of it.”

“And if I’m sitting up,” the 36-year-old, who got engaged Taylor Swift in August, added, “we’re both sitting up.”

Meanwhile, his cohost and brother Jason Kelce, 38, noted his wife Kylie Kelce—with whom he shares daughters Wyatt, 6, Elliotte, 4, Bennett, 2, and 10-month-old Finnley—prefers to use the split mattress for two reasons.

“It’s really good for getting actual sleep,” he confessed. “Kylie likes to put her side up, especially when she’s been pregnant. She really enjoys the ability to sit up top. And for me, when I snore, she can just raise my side and I stop snoring magically.”

However, Travis isn’t just fine tuning his sleeping arrangements in his free time. He’s also navigating the future of his football career, as the Chiefs ended their season on a low note. Not only did the team fumble their chance to participate in this year’s Super Bowl, but quarterback Patrick Mahomes also suffered a torn ACL in December.

And according to Travis, these massive hits have been sitting with him—both as a player and a fan of his teammates.

“It’s a tough way to go out, especially with the amount of success and the standard that you hold,” he admitted during the Jan. 7 episode of New Heights. “I think, yeah, just being a regular human for a couple weeks, maybe a month or so, trying to figure out what I’m gonna do next in terms of my future in football.”

In the meantime, he and Taylor, 36, have been focused on creating their dream wedding.

“I’m so excited about it,” the Life of a Showgirl singer said during an appearance on The Graham Norton Show in October. “I know it’s gonna be fun to plan because I think the only stressful weddings are the ones where you have a small amount and people are on the bubble. It’s gonna be fun.”

July 2023: So, Make the Friendship Bracelets

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce‘s love story began in July 2023, when the singer’s Eras Tour made a stop at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Mo.

As a huge Swiftie, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end caught the show with hopes of giving Taylor a friendship bracelet with his number on it. However, he failed to complete the pass due to her pre-show rituals.

“I was disappointed that she doesn’t talk before or after her shows because she has to save her voice for the 44 songs that she sings,” Travis shared on the July 26 episode of his New Heights podcast. “So, I was a little butt-hurt I didn’t get to hand her one of the bracelets I made for her.”

Summer 2023: This Is Him Trying

After publicly recounting his fumble—a move Taylor would later describe as “metal as hell”—Travis decided to shoot his shot and invite the Grammy winner to watch the Chiefs play at Arrowhead Stadium.

“I threw it out there, I threw the ball in her court,” he shared on The Pat McAfee Show. “I told her, you know, ‘I’ve seen you rock the stage in Arrowhead, you might have to come see me rock the stage in Arrowhead and see which one’s a little more lit.’ So, we’ll see what happens in the near future.”
