AceShowbiz - NFL superstar Travis Kelce is stepping outside the gridiron to embark on new ventures in the entertainment industry.
Earlier this week, Kelce, 34, was offered to host a new game show for Amazon Prime Video, and now sources exclusively reveal to Us Weekly and PEOPLE that it's titled "Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity?". The show is a twist on the classic "Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?" format, with celebrities answering trivia questions.
Kelce's hosting skills have impressed during the ongoing filming in Los Angeles. An insider describes him as "funny and witty," making him well-suited for the role.
In addition to hosting, Kelce has also ventured into producing. He has two film projects to his credit: "My Dead Friend Zoe" and the upcoming documentary "King Pleasure" about Jean-Michel Basquiat.
Kelce's television experience includes hosting "Saturday Night Live" in March 2023 and starring in the reality dating show "Catching Kelce" in 2016.
Kelce's career pursuits have the support of his girlfriend, Taylor Swift. A source close to the couple says that Swift is "fully supportive" of Kelce and wants him to be mindful of his schedule to ensure they have enough time together.
Despite his new ventures, Kelce has no plans to retire from the NFL anytime soon. In a January press conference, he stated that he has "no reason" to hang up his jersey and still has plenty of love for the game.
Kelce has been spending time in Los Angeles with Swift during the off-season. The couple was spotted soaking up the sun and enjoying each other's company. Kelce has also hinted at possibly attending the Coachella music festival later this month.
As Kelce explores new career paths, he remains firmly rooted in the NFL and continues to enjoy the support of his inner circle. His latest ventures showcase his versatility and his willingness to embrace new challenges both on and off the field.
