Travis Kelce faces major milestone on October 5, and he admits 'It's not a good day'

NFL star Travis Kelce is preparing to celebrate his 36th birthday on Sunday, October 5, 2025, but the Kansas City Chiefs tight end mentioned that he isn’t particularly excited about it. Talking on the New Heights podcast with his brother Jason, Kelce candidly stated:

"It’s not a good day, it’s just an annoying day for me. I don’t want to get into the Grinch of birthdays but I’m just not in on birthdays."


Jason tried to cheer him up by stating some birthday-week statistics, but Travis remained unpersuaded:

"I don't think we should look that up, because I don't think they're very good."

Kelce’s birthday falls the day before the Chiefs face the Jacksonville Jaguars. The team, who were Super Bowl finalists last season, currently has a 2-2 record. They started the season with back-to-back losses against the Los Angeles Chargers and Philadelphia Eagles but bounced back with victories in the New York Giants and Baltimore Ravens.

Reduced Playing Time

This season, Kelce has experienced a minimized playing time, heavily in regard to his present form. Following the Ravens game, head coach Andy Reid applauded the tight end’s performance, mentioning:

"I thought he played well in both the run and the pass game. I thought he looked strong all the way through. He's in great shape right now. That's the important part. He came back and trained hard and aggressive for this thing."

Despite a quieter approach to birthdays, Kelce remains to be a significant figure on the field and a prominent presence in the NFL.
