Travis Kelce, the star tight end for the Chiefs, is seeking relationship advice from former NBA player Lamar Odom, known for his high-profile marriage with Khloe Kardashian.
In an interview with The Messenger, Odom shared his well-meaning advice for Kelce’s budding relationship with pop sensation Taylor Swift.
Odom, who was married to Kardashian from 2009-16 and appeared on reality shows like “Keeping up with the Kardashians” and “Khloe & Lamar,” emphasized the importance of strength and proximity in Kelce’s relationship with Swift.
He stated, “My advice would be to be strong and stay by her and be as close to her as possible. There are going to be millions of women that want to taste what Taylor Swift is tasting, and it can be overwhelming because we’re men. He just has to be strong and stick by his girl, and he’ll be alright.”
While Kelce and Swift’s relationship hasn’t reached the level of having its own reality show, their every move has been closely followed since it came into the spotlight this fall.
Swift has attended numerous Chiefs games, both in Kansas City and elsewhere, making friends with Kelce’s parents and the wife of star Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
Recently, Kelce and Swift visited the Mahomes’ $8 million mansion in Kansas City, according to the Daily Mail.
Swift has also shown her support at Chiefs games, and Kelce reciprocated by traveling to Argentina to attend one of her Eras Tour shows in Buenos Aires in November.
During the show, Kelce was spotted dancing to Swift’s music with her dad, Scott, as she playfully changed the lyrics to her song “Karma” to reference Kelce.
The unexpected lyric change surprised Kelce, as he admitted on his podcast, “New Heights,” co-hosted with his brother Jason Kelce, a center on the Eagles.
The Chiefs’ upcoming game against the Packers on “Sunday Night Football” coincides with Swift not having any scheduled concerts until February in Tokyo, Japan.
As the couple continues to navigate the intersection of the football and entertainment worlds, Lamar Odom’s advice serves as a reminder for Kelce to remain strong and steady in his relationship with Taylor Swift.
