Travis Kelce has claimed that his now-infamous dating show ‘Catching Kelce’ is the ‘worst thing’ that he’s ever done in his career. 

Kelce was just 25 when he agreed to film the seven-episode series, which followed his attempt to find love out of a pool of 50 women, with one from each US state.  

‘Catching Kelce’ was released in 2016 and came out just after the Kansas City Chiefs star had made his first Pro Bowl, in his fourth year in the NFL. 

Now, reflecting on the show during a recent appearance on the Bussin’ With The Boys podcast, Kelce admitted that it’s the biggest regret of his career. 

He explained: ‘The worst thing I ever did was the dating show. It didn’t set me up for anything. I didn’t realize what reality TV really was.

‘I don’t even think anybody watched it,’ he later admitted.

It’s not the first time that Kelce has talked down on his former dating show, having previously made mention of it in another interview. 

‘I don’t really look back on the Catching Kelce era,’ he admitted in an interview with WSJ magazine last October. 

While Kelce is no longer on the dating market – having been with popstar Taylor Swift since September 2023 – it appears that all reality shows are out of the question now. 

In July last year, Kelce said he turned down an offer to appear in a new Netflix docuseries.

The streaming giants had announced the follow-up to its smash hit Quarterback, тιтled Receiver, followed five of the best pᴀss catchers in the NFL and debuted last summer.

The Kansas City superstar was approached about the show, after his teammate Patrick Mahomes appeared in the 2023 series Quarterback. 

‘After [Patrick Mahomes] did [Quarterback], I did get asked about it,’ Kelce said during an interview on Bussin’ with the Boys. 

‘I just — I don’t know. I’d rather just play ball, man,’ he went on.

‘I’m already doing enough with the podcast and everything. I’m way over the reality s*** dude. I’m out on that s***.’
