Parents of Baby With Travis Kelce, Taylor Swift Name Reveal Easter Egg
This couple was going to have a Taylor Swift and -inspired baby name—whether fans liked it or not.
After Haley Richardson and Robert Dillon went viral for naming their daughter Kelce Taylor-Grace, they admitted her full name also has a nod to former Kansas City Chiefs tight end Tony Gonzalez.
'TG in the middle—Tony Gonzalez was my first favorite football player,' Robert explained to Today in an interview published July 28. 'So we kind of snuck that in there as well.'
And while the couple's choice has received mixed reactions online, they're both still in love with their daughter's name. In fact, the duo came up with the moniker 'right off the bat,' with Dillon explaining they were inspired how Travis' uplifted the Chiefs with his arrival 13 years ago.
'We felt like the name was appropriate because we would like her to grow up to have his spirit of helping others,' Robert explained, 'and making sure his community is better off when he leaves than when he got there.'
As for how the 'Karma' singer comes into the mix?

'I really grew to love her as a human being, more than just the superstar that she is,' Haley added, noting that both parents wanted to give their baby girl 'some really great people to kind of emulate as she gets older, if she wants to.'
Haley and Robert emphasized that about '98 percent' of the reactions to their baby's name are positive, but there has been one burning question amid it all—what if Travis and Taylor's romance ever comes to an end?
'They're still two people at the top of their respective fields," Haley rationed. 'So honestly, we didn't even think about it. It doesn't matter to us whether or not they break up. We just wanted to give her people to look up to.'
Luckily, Travis and Taylor had made it as clear as ever that they plan to be end game. After all, the Chiefs tight end recently shared a glimpse inside their romance with a sweet social media post highlighting their joint time off between NFL seasons and after the end of Taylor's record-breaking Eras Tour.
'Had some adventures this offseason,' Travis wrote alongside photos with Taylor and more friends, 'kept it 100 percent.'
If you're still wondering how a couple is so iconic they could inspire a baby name, keep reading for all the ways Taylor and Travis' romance is a total touchdown…

James Gunn Keeps Teasing His Next Superman Movie
Could Godzilla x Kong introduce a deep-cut new monster? Kevin Bacon wants you to see the new Toxic Avenger. Plus, Hostel is heading to Peacock for a new horror streaming series with Paul Giamatti. Spoilers now!In response to a fan on Threads (via Deadline), James Gunn revealed he's begun writing his previously teased DC film, in which 'Superman has a major role,' but the project is 'not Superman 2.' In a since-expired Instagram story posted by cinematographer Simon England (via Screen Rant), a photo from the set of Godzilla X Kong: Supernova, now filming in Moab, Utah saw 'the outline of a winged four-legged creature with a bolt of lightning in the background,' causing the outlet to speculate the sequel finally plans to introduce Gryphon, a monster planned to appear in Jan De Bont's scrapped 1994 Godzilla movie designed by the late Stan Winston. Variety reports Shout! Studios has acquired the English-language distribution rights to Steve Kostanski's Deathstalker remake. However, a release date has yet to be scheduled. Fangoria has four new posters for Shelby Oaks, the Mike Flanagan-produced mockumentary from YouTube creator Chris Stuckmann starring Camille Sullivan, Brendan Sexton III, and Sarah Durn, ahead of the trailer releasing next week. Chuck Russell's Witchboard remake enjoys a gory, 'red band' trailer. Elsewhere, Kevin Bacon sings a song about seeing the new Toxic Avenger in movie theaters. A vampire who's been terrorizing Philadelphia for the past 80 years begins a relationship with the nurse caring for her still-human son (Robert Picardo) in the trailer for How Far Does the Dark Go? According to Variety, Paul Giamatti is attached to star in a TV series based on Eli Roth's Hostel franchise, now in development at Peacock. Finally, mysterious happenings are afoot at Toni Collette's retreat for troubled teens in the trailer for Wayward, coming to Netflix this September 25. Want more io9 news?

Béis's New Collab With Gap Is What Denim Dreams Are Made Of
What do you get when one of the most beloved clothing brands of all time teams up with one of the most popular travel brands of the moment? Gap x Béis, a 26-piece capsule of travel-ready clothes, accessories, and denim-inspired luggage co-designed by actor and entrepreneur Shay Mitchell, the founder and chief creative officer of Béis. Trendy travelers have been ogling Béis's sleek suitcases, bags, and accessories since Mitchell first launched the brand in 2018 (we're big fans over here at Condé Nast Traveler!), but this collab marks the brand's first foray into apparel, with a limited-edition collection of tops, bottoms, jackets, hats, and even kids clothing, designed to be comfy and multi-functional for a day on the go. 'Travel has always been a big part of my life, and I've learned that what you wear and carry can completely shift your experience,' Mitchell told Traveler exclusively. 'This collection was built with that in mind. We wanted to create pieces that move with you—whether you're sprinting through an airport, exploring a new city, or just trying to get some sleep on a long flight.' Take a peek at the lineup and you'll find an oversized hoodie with a built-in neck pillow, a convertible jumpsuit that folds down into pants, and even cargo pants that zip off into shorts. If you're already a fan of Béis, you may also notice that the clothing items come in the brand's signature colorways: beige, black, and berry pink, perfect for mixing and matching. Gap x Béis Convertible bandeau jumpsuit $88 Gap Gap x Béis Baggy jeans $118 Gap 'Partnering with Gap on this collection and campaign felt deeply nostalgic and meaningful—I grew up with the brand,' says Mitchell. True to Gap form, the line also includes a pair of denim shorts, a denim jacket, a denim T-shirt, and two pairs of jeans—all loose and comfortable enough to be worn on a flight. The five Gap x Béis luggage pieces—a backpack, weekender, small carry-on, regular carry-on, and checked suitcase—are also inspired by Gap's classic jeans, each sporting a gorgeous light blue hue. This is the first time Béis has come out with a blue colorway, so expect the shade to sell out quick. Gap x Béis Denim backpack $128 Gap Starting August 1 at 9 a.m. ET, the Gap x Béis collection will be available on (where you'll find the entire collection), (where you'll find the entire luggage line plus select pieces of clothing) and in select Gap stores across the US, Canada, and Japan. Pieces range from $8–$128 for apparel and accessories, and $128–$378 for luggage and other travel bags.

A New Documentary Brings the Spirit of Jack Kerouac's America Into the 21st Century
It's been close to 70 years since On the Road was first published. How did you go about depicting the roads of America today? EB: For me, it was really about telling these modern day stories, focusing on these contemporary travelers and their stories and really trying to draw a picture between this world that we live in today, where we are consumed by social media and we're consumed by our phones, and the fact that the one thing we're all still desperately searching for is community. Especially on the road, regardless of who you are, regardless of your politics, regardless of what part of the country you come from, the roads still really offers that community and that sense of bringing us together. No matter how siloed we may become, the road—and particularly the American road—really does keep us together. It makes us into a community. It forces us to be a community when so many other algorithms are sending us in different directions. EH: When we were tasked with a Kerouac project, we didn't want to do a straight biopic, and we definitely didn't want to do a story just unquestioningly celebrating these authors. We decided to take the approach that we did with On the Road to speak honestly to our own lenses. With Ebs, he's black, he's gay, he's American. He was like, I could never take this trip when I was growing up, in America. And as a woman, I thought, 'Yeah, he's right. It was very, very scary.' So we started to have more conversations about America and also about how the more things changed, the more they stay the same, how it is still problematic to travel through certain states yet, there's that great, big loop in America—that no matter what's happening politically, the road also connects you to the rest of the country, and it is this big, complicated thing.
