Travis Kelce named as victim in multi-million-dollar fraud case
Prosecutors listed Kansas City Chiefs’ Travis Kelce among at least 64 victims in a multi-million-dollar Ponzi scheme.
Kylie Kelce, wife of Jason Kelce and host of the popular “Not Gonna Lie” podcast, is successful by many metrics, but even she wasn’t safe from bullying as a teenager.
“There’s one individual – I refuse to say his name on this podcast – he called me a man almost every day of junior year,” Kylie, 34, said during a Sept. 17 episode of her show. “And I don’t know if it’s just that he was shorter than me or what. It was clearly based on his own insecurities,” she added.
The tidbit wasn’t unprompted. The episode’s guest, Allison Kuch, a content creator with more than 1.1 million followers on Instagram, had been talking to Kylie Kelce about her experiences with childbirth and pregnancy. Kylie Kelce shares four children with her husband, former NFL star Jason Kelce, while Kuch is a mother of two.
On the podcast, Kylie Kelce recalled going into the obstetrician’s office when she was pregnant with her first child in 2019, and the doctor noting her height. “He was an older gentleman who, you know, had just seen everything under the sun. And he was like, ‘You’ll be fine,'” Kylie Kelce said. She stands at 5-foot-10.
Kylie Kelce related it to her bully, saying, “I will tell you what, I’ll take getting called a man every day of junior year just to have those children just walk clean out of my vagina.” She and Kuch both laughed hard in the episode.
It’s not the first time Kylie Kelce has opened up about the unnamed bully on her podcast.
In a January 2025 episode with guest Drew Afualo, a social media influencer, Kylie Kelce quipped about the same mystery twerp from her high school days.
“I went into high school, I’m pretty sure I was already 5-foot-10 as a freshman. And let me tell you something, the boys were not,” she said. “I got ruthlessly bullied by a couple people … The worst of them was a guy whose insult was always like, ‘You’re huge. You’re a man,’ and it took me until probably my senior year to be like, ‘Oh, oh! You’re mad that you’re not my size,'” she added.
In the same episode, she said she finally felt “normal” when she started dating Jason Kelce and hanging out with his tall offensive lineman buddies. Jason Kelce stands at 6-foot-3.
The couple married in 2018, about a year before the birth of their first child, daughter Wyatt Kelce.
Recently, the couple got to celebrate the wedding of Jason Kelce’s younger brother, Travis Kelce, who married Taylor Swift at Madison Square Garden in July.
On an Aug. 6 episode of “Not Gonna Lie,” Kylie Kelce said Jason Kelce was emotional during the ceremony. “It was touching. It was very loving [for him] to see all the things that were happening,” she said.
Kylie Kelce said herself that she thought the ceremony was “absolutely magical” during a July episode of her podcast. “We love them so, so dearly. And it was only making it official because Taylor’s been part of the family now for quite some time,” she continued.
