Kelce also received a celebratory shoutout from the Instagram account for the New Heights podcast he and brother Jason Kelceshare.
Alongside a video featuring funny moments of Kelce from various podcast episodes, a caption read: “HAPPY BIRTHDAY @killatrav. Hope you’re full body laughing all day today.”
It’s been a busy year for Kelce, who, beyond winning the Super Bowl again in Februaryand spending time on and off-stage with girlfriend Taylor Swift, has added a few new titles to his résumé — including television actor and game show host.
The NFL star made his debut as recovering drug addict and nurse Ed Lachlan in the FX series Grotesquerie this month, and he was also recently tapped to host Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity?, a series in which stars are tested on a range of subjects pulled from the elementary school curriculum.
Confirming his involvement in the series, which premieres on Oct. 16 on Prime Video, in April, Kelce said he “grew up loving game shows.”
“I’m excited to be following in the footsteps of so many TV icons by hosting my very first one with Are you Smarter than a Celebrity? The original show is a great success, so to be bringing a new format with everyone’s favorite celebrities to the screen, will definitely be entertaining.” he said at the time.
“I’m just happy to be on the hosting side of the equation here and excited to see how these famous faces keep up,” added Kelce.
The Chiefs are currently 4-0 and next face off against the New Orleans Saints in Kansas City, Miss., on Monday, Oct. 7.
