Travis Kelce
has had a lot in his life, but he doesn't trade truth for anything. The 35-year-old actor-athlete had an affluent childhood in terms of getting all of his needs met but he didn't really see a love story growing in their home.
He knew about romance, reading novels, and watching romcom movies in his adolescence. It's not just Travis; many kids out there could relate to the Chiefs TE who doesn't ever see his parents holding hands softly or sharing a warm hug after a hectic work day. Yes, it might seem a very pseudo grief, but ask those kids who lived a cold, faded marriage!
Travis Kelce shares the most underrated pain of his childhood
No, Travis doesn't blame his parents, Donna and Ed, at all. When he was a student athlete at the University of Cincinnati, his parents gave up on their rotten marriage and filed a divorce after 28 years of togetherness. They separated gently. No bad blood at all! In a candid interview for the GQ cover story, the multi-time Super Bowl winner recalled,
'There was no division in terms of anger at each other. I think the romance of it all might've just kind of faded, being so focused on their careers and raising a family. It's probably hard for parents to keep that romance, especially when you've got kids that are into fucking everything, you know?'
Travis put the truth out flat, straight, without any slight touch of huff.
But come on, the unsaid trauma was written all over his face and voice, and it's not rocket science to decipher.
'I never saw the romance of it all. A lot of friends I grew up with shared that. The handful of my friends whose parents are still together and still thriving,'
the 6 ft 5 star admitted,
'those are situations I would love to have.'
Little Travis still held onto the silent pain of discovering the real state of his parents' marriage on one of their wedding anniversaries.

He was curious to know what special they were going to do, unless and until the naive heart was forced to accept that it was just
''another day of knocking out things for the kids'
for his parents.
Speaking of love and marriage, Travis is now deeply, madly in love with his fiancée,
Taylor Swift
and faces the world as one of the most sensational couples on the internet. They are rumored to tie the knot pretty soon , and it's crucial to fix his views regarding marriage and family before that.
Travis Kelce wants to break the pattern in his family
Sure, Travis didn't see his parents writing love notes for each other or sharing quality time together. But he won't let his kids undergo the same experience. He will break the cycle and form a union that is far beyond the daily chores and the shared kids' management task. He has dated the Grammy-winning singer for a couple of years now, and not for a single day, the netizens find them dull on the screen. Be it Taylor rooting for his boy in the Chiefs' game or Travis fanboying in the front row of a global musical tour of his girl, the duo never fails to give the fans a serious couple goal.
Yes, it's too early to predict their future as husband and wife. But as Travis says, he already pictures an ideal parenthood for them. How is it? Well, 'if we're gonna start this and do it, why not try and do it to last forever? Not just in a 'It's just for the kids' aspect,' the NFL superstar splashed out his dream.
Taylor already shares a solid bond with Donna, which was quite visible during the NFL core season when the family came, sat together with the camera free, catching their genuine laughter, shared concern, and everything in between. Hopefully, the man with the highest post season receptions records can transcend the pain and memory of a cold marriage without holding any grudge against his parents and start a wonderful family together with Taylor Swift by his side.
Chief's Kingdom on and off the field, after all!
