Julia Roberts has given Swift’s friends something to talk about — but Travis Kelce has had nothing but nice things to say about her.
“I met Julia Roberts in Ireland, in Dublin,” Kansas City Chiefs player Talk to listeners of his podcast “New Heights” Wednesday. “That was so cool.”
Kelsey, 34, noted that the “gorgeous” actress, 56, was “having some fun” with Stevie Nicks in the VIP tent during Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour show on Sunday.
The athlete’s interaction with Roberts was filmed by a fan, and has since gone viral.
Social media users criticised the Notting Hill star for scratching Kelsey’s chest during their conversation, with some making sarcastic comments. He described it as “uncomfortable” and he described it as “uncomfortable”.
However, others defended Roberts, saying: pointing to “Some people are just too sensitive that way” and “She’s old enough to be his mother.”
Nikki Glaser called the Oscar winner’s actions “over the top” in an Instagram video on Monday — and her parents agreed.
“It’s so disgusting,” Julie Glaser said, before joking that Roberts was “trying to French kiss Kelsey.”
Her husband, Edward Glaser, said the American football star appeared to be “trying to escape.”
The comedian’s mother later apologized for using the word “disgusting” to describe Roberts’ body language.
While Kelsey didn’t address the online backlash, he spoke glowingly about Nix, 76, whom he met at the Hacienda Bar later that evening.
“She’s everything that other people make her out to be,” he said. “She’s so cool… Some of these people you meet are like, ‘I don’t know what I’m doing here. You don’t believe me… and I’m just a supportive girlfriend.’ It’s so fun.”
The three-time Super Bowl winner, who made it clear he was no longer in Ireland, recalled having “some Guinness” and “playing around”.[ing] “Some snooker.”
“Ireland was a fun place. It was a fun time,” he concluded.
Kelsey traveled there from California after attending a bandmate’s wedding, with fans believing he surprised Swift, also 34, by showing up to her party.
The footballer, who has been dating the Grammy winner since July 2023, has previously attended all three of her shows in London – and even got on stage.
He spoke enthusiastically about the experience on Wednesday, admitting that the idea was to “put him to work” during the “Tortured Poets Section” set.
Kelsey said he had a lot of fun being an “actor” with Swift, and said he “can’t go wrong” with her on stage.
