The 35-year-old sports star recently led the Kansas City Chiefs to the Super Bowl final, and Travis Kelce—who is dating pop star Taylor Swift—has no plans to step away from the sport anytime soon.
A source told DailyMail.com, “When it comes to his success in acting and podcasting and seeing the opportunities his brother [Jason] has had after his retirement, Travis is not ready to retire himself.”
The Chiefs are set to face the Philadelphia Eagles in New Orleans on February 9. However, the outcome of that game won’t influence Travis’ future career decisions.
The insider added, “Whether the Chiefs win or lose, he would want to either go for the four-peat or avenge losing in the Super Bowl and would love to try to get back there.
“He understands he is in good shape professionally and personally when he retires, but as he gets asked about it in the next two weeks, he wants to stay in the league. He still believes he has more to give.
“Ask the same question next year, then we might have a conversation, but right now all his intentions are to stay with the Chiefs and play in the NFL next season whether they win or lose the Super Bowl.”
Travis has become one of the world’s most talked-about athletes since he began dating Taylor Swift. His teammate Patrick Mahomes previously credited the pop star for elevating the Chiefs’ profile.
Patrick, 29, told Time magazine, “The Chiefs went from a nationwide team that was kind of global to a full global worldwide team. That came from Taylor’s fanbase.”
