Travis Kelce is adding relationship counselling to his list of many talents.
During a bonus episode of this week’s New Heights podcast, in which he wore Winnipeg Blue Bombers quarterback Zach Collaros’ jersey, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end and his brother Jason fielded a call from a fan calling in looking for tips on how he can spice up his love life with his wife.
“We’re excited to help you guys out with all of your weird problems,” Jason, 36, said introducing the segment. “I don’t know if we’re qualified to do it, but you’re going to hear it because you paid for this.”
“I’m in my mid-50s going through a spell of the wife saying she’s not interested in sex whatsoever,” the caller began. “It’s not me, blah blah blah … How does a man handle that when your wife is the only one you’re allowed to have sex with but she doesn’t want to? I’m not one to cheat. I never have been, so give me some advice fellas.”
Stumped, 35-year-old Travis, who is dating pop star Taylor Swift, said he “personally had no idea what that’s (like).”
“This is a hard one,” said Jason, who has been married to Kylie Kelce since 2018.
His three-time Super Bowl-winning brother then offered up some advice for lovelorn caller.
“Maybe just try to get some candles, get some rose petals,” Travis suggested. “Try and be a little romantic. Get her in the mood a little bit more. Maybe you gotta rekindle that flame a little bit more. Take her to a nice restaurant. These are all things that I would try and do just based off what I heard … That’s tough, man.”
Jason, 36, who played for the Philadelphia Eagles before retiring earlier this year, suggested the fan try setting up a romantic night early.
“Women, they’re weird. They don’t just always want to have sex,” Jason joked. “I don’t know why.”
He then suggested the caller try “little things.”
“Like you’re walking by her in the morning, just grab her ass,” he urged. “She will appreciate it. Just like men like to be sought after, women like to be sought after. If your woman thinks you just want sex now, and that’s all you want it’s hard to get in the mood. Do something for her. An act of service. Sometimes that works to get the arousal.”
The siblings discussed how little things, like washing the dishes, can even add a spark.
“Katy Perry came out and said she gets pumped by (her husband Orlando Bloom) closing the cabinets,” Travis said. “Do some s*** that you know you’re supposed to be doing without her asking.”
Jason proposed the jilted listener try putting on a pair of skin-tight pants.
“Show it off. Sometimes they just want to see the goods. I don’t know what you’ve been blessed with,” Jason quipped. “If you have a big rear end, just put some tight pants on and just start doing work. If you’ve got a nice bulge, maybe you’ve been blessed with that, just nice tight pants … show off what she finds attractive about you.”
He also suggested the sex-starved fan try showing his wife a movie starring her celebrity crush to help get her in the mood. “Put something on that’s going to get her revved up and going. If you know she’s into Baywatch or if she has a thing for a specific actor. It’s OK, it doesn’t have to be you that’s getting her excited. Like sometimes they just get excited watching stuff. Maybe she’s into The Rock … just watch Jumanji. Maybe she’s into jungle and muscular men.”
“Try role play one night, you know, see if she’s up for that,” Travis added. “Go to Spencer’s and get some f***ing sex stuff, man, I don’t know.”
“Kink it up,” Jason said. “Find a way … ‘Look at this thing I just bought. Where does it go? Who knows?”
The pair continued their call-in segment by offering up their advice to a woman who complained that her husband is always on his phone. “I don’t mind that he’s on his phone, but at the same time, I like eye contact,” she said.
“I can get so lost in my phone,” Jason acknowledged. “Kylie has called me on this multiple times. Speaking as someone who does do this too much, let your the person you’re in a relationship with know that they’re doing this … Everyone understands what it’s like when you’re trying to talk to somebody and they’re not there … Have an open, honest discussion (and say), ‘I would really appreciate it, if when we’re in the house, you would put the phone down.’”
The brothers fielded another query from “Ryan” who asked for their thoughts on when a “relationship is solid and past that preliminary newly-dating phase.” He also wanted to know when you can first “fart” in front of your new partner.
“If you’ve got gas, you’ve got gas,” Travis replied. “Maybe not in every setting.”
“I farted in front of Kylie on the third date we ever had,” Jason said. “If they are uncomfortable with a fart right away, you know that they’re not the person for you.”
As for when a relationship is moving to a more serious stage, Travis told the listener not to worry. “She’ll tell you,” he said.
