After a heartbreaking loss in Super Bowl LIX, where the Kansas City Chiefs fell 40-22 to the Philadelphia Eagles, Travis Kelce is back in the spotlight, this time for his stunning new hairstyle. The 35-year-old tight end, who had already faced speculation about his future, announced he would return for the 2025 NFL season, determined to make a comeback after a disappointing performance in the championship game.
“I’m coming back, for sure,” Kelce told Pat McAfee in a recent interview. “Gonna try and get to the best shape I’ve been this offseason and get back to the mountaintop. Got a real bad taste in my mouth with how I played in that last game and how I got the guys ready for battle. I can’t go out like that!!!!”
In the meantime, Kelce has been making waves off the field with his style. Earlier this week, the star athlete debuted a fresh, slicked-back hairstyle that caught the eye of NFL fans. Gone is the longer look, replaced by a modern, polished cut with medium-to-long hair on top and shorter sides. He also gave his beard a trim, completing the sharp new look. His Los Angeles-based barber, Vince Garcia, shared a video of the transformation on Instagram.
The new style quickly garnered praise from Kelce’s fans, who took to social media to express their admiration. “Thank you. You are doing God’s work!” one fan commented, while others praised the perfect length of both his hair and beard. “The hair! The beard! Perfect length on both,” wrote another supporter.
Kelce’s 2024 season may not have been his best statistically, finishing with 97 catches, 823 yards, and three touchdowns—his lowest numbers since 2015—but he still made his tenth-consecutive Pro Bowl appearance and was nominated for the prestigious Walter Payton Man of the Year award. Although he didn’t win, his fans rallied behind him, helping Kelce secure a $35,000 donation for his charity, 87 & Running.
As he gears up for the next season, Kelce’s commitment to excellence extends beyond football—fans are already looking forward to seeing more of his revamped look and his continued efforts on and off the field.
