Kansas City Chiefs star tight end Travis Kelce has switched up his appearance numerous times throughout his NFL career — and recently, he's been sporting a noticeably new look, which has garnered significant attention.
Most recently, Kelce was seen at an event in Las Vegas hosted by his quarterback Patrick Mahomes for the Vegas Golf Classic, benefiting Mahomes’ foundation. While attendees were dressed in formal attire, Kelce once again showed off his new slicked-back hairstyle — the same look he debuted earlier in the week at the Amazon MGM Studios event with his brother, Jason Kelce.
The style has sparked a wave of reactions from fans, many of whom are pointing out the strong resemblance to his father, Ed Kelce, who wears a similar hairstyle.
Check it out:
"you look like ed kelce at the eras tour in this light," a post read.
Someone else added, "Damn they really look alike."
Another fan posted, "we need to talk about it... like, Travis looks like Ed."
One more fan commented, "Travis looks so much like his dad Ed Kelce with the longer hairdo!"

Kelce, 35, is preparing for his 13th NFL season after briefly contemplating retirement following the Chiefs' loss in Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans back in February.
While he’s kept a relatively low profile this offseason—aside from regularly recording his New Heights podcast with brother Jason—Kelce has largely stayed out of the spotlight, including alongside his girlfriend Taylor Swift. However, this week marked a noticeable shift, with several public appearances drawing attention.
With training camp set to begin in July, reports have surfaced that Kelce has shed nearly 25 pounds this offseason. The weight loss is believed to be part of his effort to get into peak condition as Kansas City gears up for another run at the Super Bowl and a shot at another Lombardi Trophy.
