Hallmark Invites Football Icon Travis Kelce to Star in New Movie

Everything started after Kelce’s new podcast episode. He co-hosts a podcast called New Heights with his brother, Jason Kelce. In the latest episode, Travis Kelce revealed that he’s a “huge fan” of the network, People reported. The discussion happened about one hour and 42 minutes into the interview.

Andrew Santino, a comedian and actor, was a guest in the episode, and their chat took a turn to sharing their thoughts on Hallmark movies and other romance films.

Santino said that his wife enjoyed a Hallmark-like movie that Lindsay Lohan had recently starred in. Then he asked if Kelce likes Hallmark movies too.

“You know, I dabble now,” Kelce admitted. “I dabble now. Yeah.”

“Big fan of the cards,” Santino joked, referring to Hallmark cards.

“Huge fan…” Kelce said. “Well, it’s a Kansas City-based company.”

Kelce is dating Taylor Swift, and Swifties were excited when they heard the podcast. They decided that Swift must be playing a role in Kelce watching Hallmark movies.

One fan tweeted, “They really are just sitting at home watching from coms and hallmark movies all day huh?”

Kelce’s Kansas City Chiefs recently won another Super Bowl, propelling the football player into even greater football fame.

After Kelce’s Revelation, Hallmark Invited Kelce to Be in a Movie Called ‘Touchdowns And Tinsel’
After the podcast came out, Hallmark didn’t waste any time. On April 24, the official Hallmark Channel’s X account tweeted: “@tkelce #TouchdownsAndTinsel, let’s make it happen! #Hallmarkies.”

The “Touchdowns and Tinsel” reference isn’t to a real movie, but rather an idea for a fun name for a film if Kelce starred in one. Hynes and Parrish’s mini-movie, made as an advertisement for the Chiefs, was called “Falling for Football.”

In an earlier post, the official account tweeted: “@tkelce Travis Kelce Hallmarkies.”

And then added: “Now that’s a team we’d like to be a part of.”

The Hallmark company’s official X account got involved too, writing: “@tkelce We’ve been in KC since 1910. But it’s been WAY more fun since you came to town. DM us for @hallmarkchannel movie recos or stop on by. ”

As of the time of this article’s publication, Kelce hadn’t responded to the X posts.
