Travis Kelce has built his professional career on name recognition and reputation. On Wednesday, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end dropped huge news that everybody has been saying his name wrong for years.
During a Barstool Sports podcast, Kelce happened to drop that everyone says his last name incorrectly.
“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.
It should be noted that Kelce has told everybody the correct pronunciation of his name before, but nobody really caught on until now.
Don’t feel too bad, because not many of his teammates knew the correct way t osay it before this week.
When it was all said and done, a reporter reached out to his mom and she set the record straight.
