Serena Williams' ex-coach Rennae Stubbs expressed her delight at Taylor Swift's boyfriend Travis Kelce's sister-in-law Kylie's podcast debuting at the top spot across multiple platforms. The podcast, Not Gonna Lie, leapfrogged The Joe Rogan Experience, Joe Rogan's podcast in the charts.

Kylie announced Not Gonna Lie, a podcast produced by Wave Sports + Entertainment, in November. Its first episode was released on December 5. The episode features Kylie talking about her reaction to her latest pregnancy, raising children with her husband Jason, and actress Kaitlin Olson, discussing the differences between raising boys and girls.

After Not Gonna Lie leapfrogged Rogan's The Joe Rogan Experience on the Apple and Spotify podcast charts, Stubbs, who coached the legendary Serena Williams during the 2022 US Open, reacted to the development on Threads with a two-word reaction.

"F yeah," Stubbs wrote in response to a post featuring the news of Kylie's podcast leapfrogging Rogan's.

Pop icon Taylor Swift and Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce confirmed that they were in a relationship in October last year. Since making their relationship public, Swift and Kelce have made multiple appearances at high-profile events. The pair were in attendance for the 2024 US Open men's singles final between Taylor Fritz and Jannik Sinner as well.

Kylie Kelce, born Kylie McDevitt, met Travis Kelce's elder brother Jason in 2015 on Tinder. They married three years later, with Kylie currently expecting her fourth child with Jason. The couple have three daughters already; Wyatt, Elliotte, and Bennett.

Serena Williams' ex-coach Stubbs hosts a podcast of her own, The Rennae Stubbs Tennis Podcast, where she discusses all things tennis. The Australian former women's doubles No. 1 recently recalled how Taylor Fritz was close to winning his first Major at the US Open, where Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce showed up to cheer for the American.


"Taylor Fritz got a taste for it this year" - Serena Williams' ex-coach Rennae Stubbs on American's progress in 2024

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce showed their vociferous support for Taylor Fritz during the 2024 US Open final. However, ultimately, the home support wasn't enough for the American as he was comprehensively beaten by World No. 1 Jannik Sinner. Fritz had never made a Major final prior to this year's US Open.

Recently, Serena Williams' former coach Rennae Stubbs looked forward to seeing whether Fritz can take his game up a notch or two next year to break American men's 21-years-and-counting singles Grand Slam duck.

"I'm really looking forward to seeing how much Taylor Fritz can just push that extra envelope of improving his net game and his forward momentum. I think he got a taste for it this year. I think he got very close to winning his first Grand Slam," Stubbs said.

Fritz himself was apologetic in front of the Flushing Meadows crowd in the aftermath of his 2024 US Open final loss to Sinner.
