“Nonsense”: Travis Kelce shuts down breakup and false community service rumors in latest podcast appearance

In a world where celebrities can’t sneeze without it becoming a headline, Travis Kelce is setting the record straight — on both his personal and professional fronts. Amid the relentless swirl of breakup speculation with Taylor Swift and viral rumors about community involvement, the NFL star took to his New Heights podcast to deliver a firm response, clearing the air with his signature mix of confidence and clarity.

The Kansas City Chiefs tight end responded directly to claims circulating online that he had purchased a $3.3 million house to serve as transitional housing for homeless youth in Kansas City — a story that painted him as a generous community leader, but one that, surprisingly, he denied.

“I gotta make a little statement in the ‘don’t believe everything you read, kids’ category or nice realm that you see online,” Kelce said on the podcast. “Some false claims were thrown out there that I was doing something in the community that I was not, and I’m not even gonna talk about it specifically. I don’t want to bring any more attention to that whole nonsense and article and all that stuff.”
Kelce, who runs the nonprofit 87 & Running, emphasized the importance of getting accurate information about his efforts straight from the source. “If people ever want to know exactly what I’m doing in the community, just go to 87running.org,” he advised, referencing his foundation’s ongoing work in empowering disadvantaged youth through support in education, business, athletics, STEM, and the arts. His concern isn’t just about false credit — it’s about maintaining integrity in the work he’s actually doing.

While fans continue to analyze every move of Kelce and Swift’s relationship, the tight end offered no updates — which, in this case, might be the best news. According to insiders, the couple has been enjoying downtime together, reconnecting after the chaos of the NFL season and Swift’s Eras Tour.
“Despite their fame, they’re really just like any other couple,” one source told Page Six. “They like to cuddle on the couch and watch movies, play board games, spend time with family, cook dinner together and just hang out.”
