As one of the best NFL players and the biggest pop star on the planet, Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift are storming their way through Hollywood since officially revealing their romance and sharing THAT kiss at the Super Bowl in February.And while they recently enjoyed a romantic vacay in Bahamas following the Asia leg of her Eras Tour, the Kansas City Chiefs hunk and the hit maker have barely paused for breath… apart from going out to eat – a pastime that Travis admits is one of his all-time favs.

But now a source reveals that super fit Taylor, 34, is insisting that her man stays in trim shape and is helping him not to overindulge during the ‘off-season’ from football.

The insider says, “He and Taylor poured over the pictures from their Bahamas trip, and he had to admit that he wasn’t exactly looking his best. Taylor was polite about it but the bottom line is she does not want her man to have love handles.

“Fitness and diet are very important to her – from a health standpoint first, but she’s also attracted to Travis physically and knows how image conscious he is, too.

“Taylor has made it clear that he’ll embarrass her if he slacks on this because she’s eating just as clean. She can’t bear the idea of him becoming a slob.” 

Last week during his podcast, New Heights, which Travis, 34, hosts alongside his lookalike brother Jason, 36, the tight end player candidly confessed that at his heaviest, he weighed in at over 20st – crediting his favourite ‘Bearcat’ pizza at college for piling on the pounds.The pizza itself – a signature dish of Adriatico’s pizza restaurant – typically serves between 10-12 people and has been described as “the size of a standard breakfast nook”. And following Jason’s admission that he had hit 20 stone, Travis, who is currently out of season following the Super Bowl  joked, “It’s March, we’re in the same weight class right now!”

During their previous podcasts, the food-loving brothers have also rated and slated the calibre of restaurants including US chain Waffle House and Burger King, as well as discussing their favourite meals and go-to sweet treats.

However, while he had planned to indulge in one or two pizzas  when he and Jason head back to the University of Cincinnati to record a special edition of their podcast, the source says Taylor has taken it upon herself to help Travis with his grocery shopping to make sure he gets the nutrients he needs.

Despite not discussing her diet in detail, Taylor has previously said, “During the week, I try to eat healthily, so that means salads, yogurt, and sandwiches.”

For dinner, she added, “I love to make burgers, grilled chicken with different marinades, garlic green beans, carrots and broccoli.”

Not two pizzas serving 24 people then, Tay?

Taylor also revealed that, while she appears to occasionally drink, she stays away from alcohol during her gruelling tours, which see her performing for up to three and a half hours.

And now the insider says Taylor has encouraged Kelce to ditch anything she feels will have a negative impact on his motivation – which includes some seriously sweaty gym workouts.

Last week, Travis’s trainer of 12 years, Laurence Justin Ng posted a video of Travis in full beast-mode – sprinting on the treadmill, using resistance bands and balancing equipment.

The source adds, “She’s made him agree to ditch all the sugar and processed carbs and he’s really cutting back on his alcohol intake too. She does not want him boozing during the week.

“She wants him watching everything he eats so she’s taken charge of his grocery list and is having loads of healthy food delivered so that he won’t go off this diet.

“He’s used to eating and drinking whatever he wants but that’s just not going to fly anymore. The old days of bingeing while he’s in the off season are over.”

 However, in December, Taylor lovingly gushed about how the strength of her relationship with Travis also stems from their support of each other’s passions.

She said in Time Magazine, “When you say a relationship is public, that means I’m going to see him do what he loves, we’re showing up for each other, other people are there and we don’t care…we’re just proud of each other.”

Travis added earlier this month, “We’re both very career driven. We both love what we do. Any chance that I can show my support to her, and knowing that she’s shown me all the support in the world throughout the season — it’s just been an amazing experience getting to know Tay.”

And now the source says Travis is happy to take Taylor’s advice on board because he knows she has his best interests at heart.

They add, “This is the first time in Travis’s life that he’s actually let a girlfriend micromanage him like this, but he’s rolling with it and doing his best to see the positive side because at the end of the day, he knows she just wants the absolute best for him.”

And following reports in January that Travis “wants to lean into acting and hosting” when he retires from professional football, the source says Taylor is already dishing out the tough love to help him achieve his dream.  

They say, “He’s got huge ambitions to be a big movie star and that means he needs to be camera ready. He wants to be a Hollywood hunk and these leading actors work hard to maintain their crazy physiques.

“Taylor wasn’t mean about it, but she definitely made it clear that he’s got to drop the extra weight, tone up and get a six pack.”

The source also hints that, as Travis and Taylor continue their world domination, we could expect a red carpet debut any day now.

They add, “They’ll be making their red carpet debut soon and she wants them to look their best. After all, they are the hottest couple on the planet right now.”
