Fans Are Mystified After Travis Kelce Reveals His ‘Real Last Name’

For his entire career, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce has been cool with everyone pronouncing his last name “Kel-see”.

However, it appears that Kelce has been living a lie all this time.

During an appearance on Barstool Sports’ Bussin’ With The Boys podcast, Travis Kelce revealed that his last name is actually pronounced “Kels.”

“I got ‘Kel-see’ then I got ‘Kels.’ My real name is ‘Kels,’ so I mean… I just kind of roll with the punches,” Kelce said.

Even Travis Kelce’s teammates, Tyreek Hill and Patrick Mahomes, were shocked to hear that they’ve been pronouncing the tight end’s name wrong this entire time.

There’s a 100% chance Kelce says on the first day of camp this was all a joke.

Via YouTube, Travis Kelce's pronounced it 'the other way' before. This was in the lead-up to the 2020 AFC Championship vs. Titans #Chiefs pic.twitter.com/G9mF3GMfLy

We’re going to need to get some more clarification from Travis Kelce on how to actually pronounce his name.

Is it really possible that he could’ve been leading us on this whole time?
