Travis Kelce Considering Naming His First Child After an Iconic Arnold Schwarzenegger Film
During a conversation with Arnold Schwarzenegger on 'New Heights', Travis Kelce hinted at the possibility of naming his upcoming child after one of the legendary actor's iconic movie characters.
Will Travis Kelce choose an Arnold Schwarzenegger movie for his first child's name? It looks like there's a possibility. The Kansas City Chiefs tight end, who is 34 years old, along with his brother, Jason Kelce, had a chat with Schwarzenegger, who is 76 years old, on their show "New Heights" on Wednesday, April 3. They talked about the action star's famous roles and Travis even joked about naming his first child Conan after Schwarzenegger's characters.
In the 1982 film Conan the Barbarian, Schwarzenegger portrayed the main character. The movie, written by Oliver Stone and also starring James Earl Jones, follows a warrior seeking vengeance for his parents' murder.
Travis has previously alluded to wanting children. In a March podcast, he joked about basketball player Victor Wembanyama, who stands at 7-foot-4, suggesting he was "created in a lab in France."
He continued, “Lab-grown diamonds, that’s a lab-grown f–king NBA player. Can’t wait ‘til I f–kin’ make one.”

Jason, who is 36 years old, jokingly advised his brother to avoid discussing kids, especially with his well-known relationship with Taylor Swift. "Don't do it," he playfully teased. "Let's not give any more ammunition to these conspiracy theorists, okay?"
Travis and Swift, 34, have been dating since last summer, and the NFL pro recently shared that he’s the “happiest [he’s] ever been.”

In a recent interview with People, Travis Kelce shared, "I’m the kind of person who always sees the glass as half full. In fact, my glass is always completely full."
Travis and his partner were seen enjoying a beach vacation in the Bahamas in March, and they have been spending quality time together in Los Angeles ever since. Travis mentioned to People that his life feels very busy and fast-paced, but he actually enjoys it that way.
Despite his relationship with Swift and his recent Super Bowl win, marking his third victory with the Chiefs in the past five years, Travis shared that he feels full of life and energy.
