Travis Kelce Is Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Model's 'Hall Pass'
Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce is apparently a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model's "hall pass."
Kelce, 36, is expected to get married to Taylor Swift this July in New York City. According to TMZ, the power couple plans on tying the knot at Madison Square Garden. Although those plans haven't been confirmed, they're apparently set to have at least 1,000 people at their wedding ceremony.
"Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ between 1,100 and 1,200 people will show up at MSG July 3 to watch the couple become husband and wife," TMZ's report states. "We're told Taylor and Travis have gone to great lengths to ensure privacy, and that includes communicating with invitees by text, rather than physical invitations."
Jena Sims, who made her SI Swimsuit debut in 2024, revealed that she was excited to meet Kelce at the WM Phoenix Open earlier this year.
"I was so excited to meet Travis Kelce, I mean, he's my hall pass," Sims told People Magazine.
As for her actual encounter with the All-Pro tight end, Sims had nothing but kind things to say about him.
"I don't know how to describe it. Sporty, a little more sportier than I would have normally gone in this type of day, but he was so nice, so sweet," Sims said. "He met our nanny. He met [my son] Crew, obviously Brooks. He played with Brooks, that's how I met him."
Jena Sims is married to a star athlete.
Sims isn't just an SI Swimsuit model, she's the wife of five-time major winner Brooks Koepka. They went public with their romance at the 2017 U.S. Open. By July 2023, the happy couple welcome their first child into the world.
Apparently, Koepka is aware of the fact that Kelce is his wife's "hall pass."
Despite her comments this week, Sims is not expected to attend Kelce and Swift's wedding. If anything, she may have put herself on the banned list.
