Travis Kelce enjoys being challenged by Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid.

The 35-year-old NFL star has recently come under fire after an on-field confrontation with Reid, but Travis insists that they're aren't lingering problems between them.

He told the Kansas City Star: "I love that guy, man. There’s nothing outside of this building that’s going to make me feel any different way. We know exactly each other’s intentions."

Travis suggested that coach Reid "challenges" him during games to ensure he produces his best possible form. The sports star - who is engaged to pop singer Taylor Swift - actually believes that Reid's approach has helped to take his own game "to another level".

He said: "I think what coach Reid does best is he challenges guys to be at their best, and I love that about him. It definitely helped me take my game to another level that game."

Earlier this year, Travis insisted that he still has "a lot more to prove" in the NFL.

The sports star briefly contemplated retirement after losing the 2025 Super Bowl, but Travis still feels motivated and ambitious.

He told reporters: "It wasn't a very tough [decision] for me.

"I know I'm getting older, but at the same time I still feel like I got a lot that I can prove in this league. It really wasn't that hard of a decision for me."

Travis felt hurt after losing the Super Bowl earlier this year, but his passion for the sport remains as strong as ever.

He said: "I love football. I don't think I really thought about it that much. My friends and family and the team and the guys and women in this building, I love coming into work every single day."

Despite this, Travis took his time before deciding to commit himself to another season with the Kansas City Chiefs.

He explained: "You want to let the emotions die down [after the end of the season].

"That was the biggest thing — you don't want to make decisions off initial emotions. But for the most part, once they died down, I still felt like I had that fire in my chest to be able to keep coming in and building and be better and chase another Super Bowl."
