- NFL. Taylor Swift put Travis Kelce on a diet, and the Kansas City Chiefs tight end is a new man heading into the 2025 season
- NFL. The dress that Taylor Swift wore on her outing with Travis Kelce and his family would have an Easter egg to 'Reputation'...Ready for It?
A 17-year-old is willing to give up everything for love. Literally everything. He is risking his future for a romantic relationship and plans to follow his sweetheart to college.
His mother didn't know what to do about the situation, and turned to the Kelce brothers. While hosting their podcast New Heights, Jason Kelce, former Philadelphia Eagles, and Travis Kelce, of the Kansas City Chiefs, received a call from the woman who told them that her son wants to give up his dreams and go to the same college as his girlfriend and asked for their advice.
With his energetic personality, Travis was against facing the college path just to hold on to a partner and not to use it as a tool for personal growth:
College is a decision you have to make for yourself. It is a selfish decision that you have to make for the future or lane you want to take in life. Nobody should go to a school to follow somebody else. They should go there for the values that they see are going to be best fitting for them. Why isn't she wanting to go where you're going to college? Is there a trade-off here?
In agreement with his younger brother's words, Jason advised the young man's mother to take Trav's message into consideration but to do so with patience and love: "I agree 1000 percent with Travis. I think that's what you have to say to your son as well. If you say, like 'I'm not letting you go to school,' it's not going to work out".
Mother to mother
Donna, who was present at the episode in honor of Mother's Day, also offered her point of view, adding to her son's words how comfortable it can be to face this stage accompanied by someone you know, because being in your comfort zone makes it very difficult to get out of it. Yes, you can make mistakes, but that's where growth begins.
"I think if you are going to do the same thing and go to a college and have the same friends around you, you're never going to have any growth. You are always going to have someone there besides you to help you through all those decisions," said Donna.
"But when you go to college, you are totally on your own. You just kind of fail and then win. Sometimes there are little setbacks, there's adversity, and you have to work through it," she added.
So you know, if you have a dilemma about your future, call the Kelce family.
