Travis Kelce has finally broken his silence on Harrison Butker’s comments while revealing what he calls his teammate.

Butker, the Kansas City Chiefs kicker, sparked outrage around the country with his comments regarding what he believes a woman’s role in the family should be. The three-time Super Bowl winner was speaking to the graduating class at Benedictine College earlier this month when he urged the females to embrace the homemaker vocation.

Kelce, one of the most outspoken players in the NFL, took his time to respond, but what he said was pretty wholesome.

The Chiefs tight end spoke up in Butker’s defense on Friday while on his ‘New Heights’ podcast with his brother Jason.

Travis made sure to note that he didn’t agree with most of what “Harry” said, revealing he’s probably the only one who calls Butker by the nickname. But he also pointed out that the player’s views won’t and shouldn’t impact their relationship.

“I’ve known him for seven-plus years probably, eight-plus years,” he said, “and I cherish him as a teammate.”

“When it comes down to his views and what he said at the [Benedictine College] commencement speech, you know, those are his. I can’t say I agree with the majority of it — or, just about any of it outside of just him loving his family and his kids.

“And I don’t think that I should judge him by his views — especially his religious views of how to go about life. That’s just not who I am.”

 

Travis Kelce Is Only The Latest Person From KC To Defend Harrison Butker

Travis Kelce claimed that Harrison Butker has always been great to the family and friends he’s introduced him to, adding, “And that’s how he treats everyone.”

Chiefs head coach Andy Reid also defended Butker during a press conference earlier this week, telling reporters he didn’t feel the need to speak to the player about his statement.

Quarterback Patrick Mahomes shared similar sentiments too, referring to Butker as “a good person.”

VIDEO: Body Language Expert Gives Interesting Analysis Of Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce During Their Romantic Date

A body language expert is speculating on whether Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift, who have been showing off their PDA on recent dates, will last.

The pop singer and NFL tight end have been connected since the summer of last year, but they didn’t make their relationship public until September. Swift has gone to a number of Kelce’s football events, including the Super Bowl, and Kelce has reciprocated by traveling abroad to see his girlfriend play during her Eras Tour.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce were recently photographed dining at a private villa in Italy. Villa Sola Cabiati is a six-suite property that is part of the Grand Hotel Tremezzo.

Following their private supper, Taylor Swift’s admirers were enthralled with a picture of the 14-time Grammy Award winner strolling with Kelce’s arm around her.

Blanca Cobb, a body language expert, spoke to The U.S. Sun about the pictures, and according to her analysis, Kelce and Swift form a “very affectionate” couple.

“Her left shoulder is right underneath his right armpit. They’re seamed at the side. That’s a really good sign. He has his arm draped casually across her back, with his right hand on her shoulder. And then she’s grasping his hand that’s lying on her

shoulder. That’s good,” Cobb said. “This means both of them want to be physically connected — and they are. When you love somebody and you’re feeling that love in the moment, you find ways to touch. They’re physically right beside each other, but they’re still touching one another.

“Their bodies are pretty much joined at the side as they’re walking. With time, you would expect a couple to get more relaxed with each other, but I still think that they’re very affectionate.”

Those comments match up with what we have heard about Swift and Kelce once before.

Last month, the couple attended Kelce’s teammate, Patrick Mahomes’s, charity event, where he called Swift his “significant other.” The two also auctioned off tickets to Swift’s Eras Tour.

At the event, Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift were not afraid to show some PDA as they held hands and were all over one another all evening.

“They walked in holding hands, and they were affectionate all night,” an attendee told Entertainment Tonight.
