"It’s his personal life. I’ll talk about my life and when the kids were little when I was with them. They’re men now. And they’ve got their own lives and there isn’t a man alive that’s going to talk to their mom about their personal life, it’s not going to happen."

It was later revealed in the recent WSJ interview that Travis Kelce had immediately called his mother after the Today show to assure her that she did a good job. The National Football League player also complimented the green eyeglasses she wore that day, as per People.

Travis Kelce also gave his opinion about the relationship with Taylor Swift. He mentioned:

"Everybody knows I’m a family guy. Her team is her family. Her family does a lot of stuff in terms of the tour, the marketing, being around, so I think she has a lot of those values as well, which is right up my alley."
