SPOILER ALERT: Travis Kelce's Football Career May Be Coming to an End, But His Acting Career is Just Getting Started!

Get ready for a whole lot of drama and excitement as we dive into the latest scoop on NFL star Travis Kelce's life! The 35-year-old tight end has been making waves in the sports world with his impressive performance on the field, but what happens when he hangs up his cleats? Well, it looks like he's already got a plan B - and it involves cameras, scripts, and a whole lot of laughter!

As Kelce prepares to kick off his 13th season with the Kansas City Chiefs (yep, you read that right - 13 seasons is a long time in football!), insiders are spilling the tea on his potential final year in the NFL. And let's just say it's not looking good for his football future... But don't worry, folks, because this talented athlete has got a whole new career waiting in the wings!

Kelce is reportedly in talks for his own TV series. 'Travis has been exploring a number of things,' an industry insider told  Page Six;  Pictured in Phoenix on August 9

Sources close to Kelce reveal that he's been exploring a TV career, and we're talking big time - think starring roles, think critically-acclaimed productions, think Emmy-worthy performances! Yep, you heard that right, folks. It looks like Travis Kelce is ready to trade in his cleats for a script!

According to Page Six (our go-to source for all things juicy!), Kelce is in talks with none other than Curb Your Enthusiasm executive producer Jeff Shaffer about starring in a series of his own. Think "Curb"-style humor, think hilarious antics, and think Travis Kelce being himself - minus the football gear!

When asked for confirmation, reps for Kelce remained tight-lipped (hehe, get it?), but insiders close to the situation spilled all the beans. "Travis has been exploring a number of things," said one industry insider. "He's talking to Jeff about a show similar to 'Curb' that would follow him around. He'd be playing himself... he wants to act."

The source said the proposed show would be similar to Curb Your Enthusiasm and 'would follow him around. He would be playing himself ¿ he wants to act.';  Pictured in Kansas City, MO on August 24

Now, we know what you're thinking - Travis Kelce acting? Has the world gone mad?! But hold up, folks, because this guy has already got some serious cred in front of the camera! Remember when he made a cameo appearance in Happy Gilmore 2 on Netflix back in July? Yeah, that was just the beginning...

In addition to his soon-to-be-announced TV series (think about it - Travis Kelce: The Series!), Kelce has also been racking up appearances in commercials for major brands like Lowe's, Pepsi, Subway, and General Mills cereals. And let's not forget about his own company, Garage Beer, which he co-founded with his brother Jason!

But wait, there's more! In a bold move, Kelce and his bro have also launched a podcast called New Heights (yes, pun intended!), which was recently signed to a deal with Amazon's Wondery worth $100 million. We're talking big time, folks - we're talking Netflix-busting numbers!

The tight end had a small role in Happy Gilmore 2, which debuted on Netflix July 25

It seems like Kelce is all about diversifying his portfolio these days - and that includes moving some of his off-season operations to Los Angeles (hello, Cali!) to work on his second act. He's been making waves in the FX world with his star turn in Grotesquerie (think Niecy Nash and Micaela Diamond!), and he's even attached to a new action-comedy project called Loose Cannons through Lionsgate!

So what about his highly-publicized romance with none other than Taylor Swift? Sources close to the couple reveal that they're equally yoked, with Kelce gushing about his love for music (he's even said it's one of his favorite things in life!). When asked about their relationship, Kelce told GQ: "I get to be the plus one... I feel like I'm a fan. And it's so cool that I get to experience her being that plus one for me on the football field."

Okay, folks - we've got all the tea spilled! But here's the thing - with this many projects in the works, it's hard not to wonder if Travis Kelce is actually done with his football career after all. Are you excited about his new ventures? Let us know in the comments!

He has also hosted the game show Are You Smarter Than A Celebrity
