Post Malone has a profound admiration for Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes, evident in his permanent tattoo that serves as a testament to their friendship. The talented artist, whose birth name is Austin Post, fondly reminisced about the occasion when he found himself on the losing end of a beer pong match against the dynamic Kansas City Chiefs duo. As a consequence of his defeat, Post Malone willingly adorned his skin with new ink as a playful penalty.
During an appearance on SiriusXM's The Howard Stern Show on Tuesday, October 17, he revealed, "I felt compelled to get a tattoo of Kansas City Chiefs' Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce." When asked about the tattoo's location, Malone humorously replied that it is "cleverly concealed," before admitting the truth.
"No, that's not what I intended," he expressed. "They are not just skilled but also kind-hearted individuals. It's about the tattoo on my arm."
Howard Stern jokingly remarked, "It is quite embarrassing" that Malone was defeated by Kelce, aged 34, and Mahomes, aged 28. Disagreeing, Malone shot back, "Absolutely not! They are incredible athletes! Look at them!"

Stern, 69, jokingly commented on Malone's reputation as a prolific beer drinker and asked if becoming a dad had affected his beer pong skills. Malone, who became a father to a daughter in May 2022, admitted that his parenthood has indeed had an impact on his ability to excel at beer pong. "I believe it naturally costs me two points now," he replied.
The singer of "Sunflower" publicly asked for a rematch with Mahomes and Kelce, who have been recently associated with Taylor Swift. He mentioned that the elbows used in the game were excessive and the players should not cross the table with their elbows.

Malone expressed his approval of Kelce's blossoming relationship with the singer of "Cruel Summer" and affectionately referred to Kelce as the "kindest guy."
"In today's world, it's difficult to know who genuinely cares," Malone shared. "You come across so many individuals. What's remarkable is seeing successful individuals like Taylor, Travis, and Patrick genuinely care about others. And I find that incredibly admirable."
According to a source, not just Malone, but their friends also believe that the pair makes a good match. Their friends reportedly think that they are supportive of each other and appreciate the fact that they don't need to be constantly together, which creates a comfortable dynamic. The insider also revealed that the couple plans to dedicate specific moments to spend quality time together in order to deepen their connection and understanding of each other.
The insider mentioned that despite their new relationship, things are progressing well. "Although it's still in its early stages, they have genuine affection for one another," they shared. "Both individuals are committed to making the effort to spend time together, and they are accommodating of each other's busy schedules."
