Travis Kelce showed fans exactly why his nickname is “Big Yeti” with a shirtless appearance in Miami on Tuesday.
The Kansas City Chiefs tight end removed his black baseball cap and peeled off his black T-shirt to towel off outside an SUV following an intense NFL training workout.
In nothing but his black Nike Jordan athletic shorts, Kelce’s copious back and chest hair were on full display while wiping sweat off with a gray towel.
The athlete appeared to have exhausted himself during the workout before ditching his shirt.
Pals Kumar Ferguson and Ross Travis, who joined the NFL star for the training session, also appeared to have worked up a sweat.
Eventually, a still-shirtless Kelce was seen getting into the vehicle with his gray towel.
The famed athlete is reportedly prepping for the upcoming season in Florida while residing at a sprawling $20 million mansion in Boca Raton in the Royal Palm Yacht & Country Club.
According to the Daily Mail, Kelce has been focusing on an intense fitness regimen while renting the lavish property since April, following the Chief’s Super Bowl loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.
The Chiefs player’s hairy appearance comes over a year after he discussed the apropos nickname with brother Jason Kelce during a February 2024 appearance on his “New Heights” podcast.
“When Trav was at Cincinnati, he would play basketball in the playground quite a bit,” the Philadelphia Eagles alum said of his brother’s time at the University of Cincinnati, “and anyone who has ever played pickup basketball, you know there’s shirts and skins.”
“Shirts and skins dog, that’s the only way to separate the teams,” Travis replied.
“I had the big beard, I had the long hair. I had the chest hair, back hair, arm hair, leg hair. It’s just a big ole Yeti out there, man,” he continued. “All the homies on the court were calling me ‘Big Yeti.’”
Travis, 35, was most recently spotted supporting teammate Patrick Mahomes in Las Vegas at the Mahomies Foundation Gala on Thursday — sans girlfriend Taylor Swift, 35.
Prior to that, the football star was seen celebrating his mom Donna at a Mother’s Day brunch in Philadelphia — and this time, Swift was right by his side.
Also at the family event, held at Talula’s Garden restaurant in the City of Brotherly Love, were brother Jason and sister-in-law Kylie Kelce.
A source told Page Six that the famous couple was not seated in a private area but sat among the general crowd, and that at least some of Jason’s daughters were present for the celebration.
Travis and the “Blank Space” hitmaker have been dating since the summer of 2023, though the singer has been keeping a low profile since the end of her Eras tour in December and Travis’ devastating Super Bowl loss in February.
