Travis Kelce is reportedly struggling to keep his cool as the pressures of fame, football and his relationship with Taylor Swift collide.
According to RadarOnlinethe Kansas City Chiefs tight end feels overwhelmed by the demands of his career, his public image and his growing list of side projects.
Concern grew among teammates and fans after Kelce, 35, lost his temper during a Sept. 14 game against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Despite the Chiefs leading by three points at the time, Kelce slammed his helmet into the ground and shouted, “I’m tired of this!” The team ultimately lost 20–17.
“Travis is losing it and people around him are worried because of everything he’s doing right now,” an insider revealed.
The source said Kelce is thin between his New heights podcast, endorsement deals, acting ambitions and his new steakhouse in Kansas City, all while juggling football season and his high-profile romance with Swift.
“Before he can leave the field, he is bombarded by the media asking about Taylor, and bombarded with emails and business inquiries,” the insider explains.
“Things have gone up a level in terms of scrutiny as he plans the rest of his life with Taylor, and the fear is that he will crack under the pressure.”
The insider added: “He has more of an edge now and his temper is getting the better of him.” Those close to Kelce believe his ambition has stretched him too far. “The fact remains that the man is panicking,” the source said.
Days after his on-court outburst, Kelce 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 Patrick off,” the insider added.
