Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce is catching some heat online as a joke he made about possibly becoming a dad has resurfaced in the wake of his hooking up with Taylor Swift.

Kelce and Swift have been going strong so far, despite a recent gaffe from his publicist, but fans can’t help but wonder how serious things are and whether the NFL star has plans to get married and have kids. While things might be moving a bit too fast for Travis’ mother, Donna Kelce, an insider has made claims of the couple discussing parenthood.

Given the reports, an old comment Kelce made about finding a “breeder” to have some kids with and make his mom happy is going viral again amid the blossoming romance.

Travis was speaking on his ‘New Heights’ podcast when he bemoaned his lack of children.

“I gotta start breeding, I gotta start breeding. To all the breeders out there,” he said

“Wait until you find the right person. Find the right person,” his brother, Jason Kelce, advised.

“I’m gonna find a breeder, and I’m gonna get kids so that mom can love me again,” Travis quipped.

While this was clearly a joke, some Taylor fans were turned off by it.

Other fans have come to his defense, pointing out that there was nothing serious about the comment.
