Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce may not have any children of their own — at least not yet — but the Kansas City Chiefs tight end already knows he’ll be more of a laidback, hands-off kind of dad.

While speaking on the Wednesday, April 23 episode of Heights Hotline — the Wondery+ spin-off of his and brother Jason Kelce’s New Heights podcast — the NFL brothers answered parenting questions from callers. While Jason is a girl dad four times over — he and wife Kylie Kelce just welcomed the latest addition to their family, daughter Finnley, in March — Travis, for his part, speculated how he would handle a hypothetical parenting situation.

After one caller asked Travis and Jason their thoughts on how to handle her three “feral” children so they don’t hurt themselves at home, the three-time Super Bowl champion figured he’d want to make sure everything in the house was safe — but also encourage the kids, curse words and all, to take that energy outside.

The best course of action, Travis advised, would be to “safe[-proof] the house and safe[-proof] the objects in the house,” he said, per People. And then he’d “f—king tell them to go outside.”

The athlete — who has been dating Swift since late summer 2023 — also advised that parents should “find a way to discipline [the kids] so that they’re scared of doing [what] that will get them in trouble,” he shared, per Parade, filling the sentence with several expletives. “They’re just going to … try to have fun.”
