Travis Kelce Jokes About ‘Getting Cooked’ Over His Mustache

Travis Kelce and his brother, Jason Kelce, tackled the pros and cons of facial hair during their latest fan Q&A.

The siblings and podcast cohosts answered voicemails from “New Heights” listeners in a bonus episode that aired via Wondery+ on Thursday, November 14. One fan revealed she’s not a big fan of her husband’s clean-shaven look, asking, “How do I tell him that without coming off wrong?”

Jason, 37, admitted it was a “tough” question, joking, “What you’re really saying is you don’t like the way your husband’s face looks. How do you tell somebody that you like their face better when half of it can’t be seen?”

Travis, 35, agreed that the caller was in an “unfortunate” situation. “I’m here for some f—ing tough love, alright?” he said. “If you got a f—ing ʙuтт-ugly husband and he looks better with a beard, you tell him that. Don’t let him just walk around here with that ʙuтт-ugly face.”

Jason cackled as Travis continued, “Don’t let him f—ing do that to you, to your family. That s—‘s f—ed up. That s— hurts your soul, then let him know. … Can’t just be out here looking ugly. You’re representing the other person.”

Travis reminded the listener that relationships are “a team effort,” joking, “I’ve been getting cooked all year for having a mustache.”

Kansas City Chiefs fans have come to recognize Travis’ mustache as a sign that NFL training camp is about to begin. He’s rocked the facial hair for two summers in a row, recently referring to the look as “the Andy Reid special.”

“I’m just having some fun with it,” he said on “New Heights” in August. “And while I’m at training camp, I really don’t care how I look. I just want to be there and try and make it the most enjoyable experience ever.”

While Travis is proud of his ‘stache, his sister-in-law, Kylie Kelce, gave her lethal take on the look last year. “This is going to sound a little harsh, but I think you should do the mustache [in your dating app pH๏τos] because if they swipe right at your worst then they’ll love you at your best,” she teased Travis during a September 2023 episode of the Kelces’ podcast, which aired before Travis made his public debut with girlfriend Taylor Swift. (The couple were already quietly dating at the time.)

Travis took Kylie’s advice to heart, teasing, “That doesn’t even hurt my feelings, that’s just smart.”

Jason, meanwhile, admitted on Thursday that his facial hair is essential. “I look awful when I don’t have a beard,” he said. “I have the beard to hide that I have folds in my skin under my neck and that my face is actually very fat. That’s why I have a beard.”

The retired athlete declared that “what makeup accomplishes for women, beards accomplish for men” — and Travis cosigned the theory. “[It’s man’s way of] masking his flaws,” the тιԍнт end added.
