Travis Kelce is reportedly struggling to keep his cool as the pressures of fame, football, and his relationship with Taylor Swift collide.
According to RadarOnline, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end has been feeling overwhelmed by the demands of his career, his public image, and his growing list of side projects.
Concern among teammates and fans grew after Kelce, 35, lost his temper during a September 14 game against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Despite the Chiefs leading by three points at the time, Kelce slammed his helmet to the ground and shouted, “I’m sick of this s**t!” The team eventually lost 20–17.
“Travis is losing it and people around him are worried because of everything he has going on right now,” an insider revealed.
The source said Kelce is stretched thin between his New Heights podcast, endorsement deals, acting ambitions, and his new Kansas City steakhouse, all while juggling football season and his high-profile romance with Swift.
“Before he can get off the field, he’s getting bombarded by the media asking about Taylor, plus he’s overloaded with emails and business questions,” the insider explained.
“Things have gone up a level in terms of scrutiny as he plans out the rest of his life with Taylor, and the fear is he’s going to buckle under the pressure.”
The insider added, “There’s more of an edge to him now and his temper is getting the best of him.” Those close to Kelce believe his ambition has stretched him too far. “The fact remains the guy is cracking up,” said the source.
Days after his on-field outburst, Kelce reportedly tried to smooth things over with teammate Patrick Mahomes by gifting him $70,000 worth of fine wine and watches for his 30th birthday. “Travis can’t afford to piss off Patrick,” the insider added.
