After meeting Travis Kelce, actor and comedian Ron Funches was not surprised the NFL player was able to score Taylor Swift. On this morning’s episode of The Drew Barrymore Show, Funches opened up about working with Kelce on Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity?
Host Drew Barrymore noted that Kelce — who is hosting the new game show — has “real swagger,” while Funches agreed, “He does! He really does.”
However, the Inside Out 2 voice actor was initially wary of the Kansas City Chiefs player hosting a game show.
“He came from the football field to host the show. He’s never hosted a show before,” he explained. “I was like, ‘How is this going to go? Maybe he’s been hit in the head too many times.’ But he was amazing! He’s so sweet and natural and charming.”
Referring to Kelce’s highly publicized relationship with Swift, Funches then joked, “I was like, ‘OK, this is how you get a billionaire.’”
Vanderpump Rules star Lala Kent, who also appears on the show, previously revealed that Swift once visited Kelce on set for lunch.
“Taylor Swift was in Travis Kelce’s trailer,” Kent said on the Nov. 4 episode of her Give them Lala podcast, per People.

The reality star’s co-host and assistant Jessica Walter added, “Which was parallel to Lala’s, and I’m talking, like, 10 feet away, you guys … And I see a giant black SUV, and then we start hearing whispers on set. Like, what is that black SUV doing? It was our girl Taylor Swift in Travis’ trailer just visiting.”
According to Kent, Kelce was also the perfect gentleman when they took a group photo together.
“Travis, I’m next to him, and I’m pregnant, but he did not, I believe, had two girls on each of his sides, and when he put his arms around us, he did not touch,” Kent said, noting that he instead hovered his hands. “Sweet, respectful.”
