As speculation grows regarding his future in the NFL, Travis Kelce has received a boost from his mother, Donna Kelce. Over the weekend, she unveiled a prominent billboard in Times Square showcasing the Kelce brothers’ latest business venture. This development comes as discussions about retirement circulate following the Kansas City Chiefs’ challenging 2025 season.
Donna Kelce took to Instagram to reveal the billboard promoting the “New Heights Kelce Clubhouse,” an online store for merchandise related to the Kelce brothers’ popular podcast, New Heights. The post highlighted the official launch of their merchandise shop in collaboration with Amazon. She captioned the photo, “The boys Times Square Billboard,” marking a significant milestone in their expanding media presence.
Since its inception in September 2022, the New Heights podcast has attracted a variety of high-profile guests, including actors Matt Damon and George Clooney, as well as quarterback Jameis Winston and Travis’ fiancée, Taylor Swift. Swift recently shared insights about her album, adding to the podcast’s appeal and reach.
Travis Kelce has been actively cultivating his off-field ventures for several years. In addition to the podcast, he has invested in various businesses, including the steakhouse 1587 Prime, in partnership with fellow NFL player Patrick Mahomes, and Casa Azul Tequila. He is also involved with Garage Beer, a venture with his brother Jason. His investments extend to entertainment and amusement parks, including ties to Six Flags, indicating a diverse portfolio beyond football.
Despite the ongoing rumors surrounding retirement after a disappointing 6–11 season, Travis has remained active on and off the field. He achieved a franchise record with 85 career touchdowns and recorded 76 catches for 851 yards last season. On a recent episode of New Heights, he expressed enthusiasm about the potential return of former offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy, a comment that fans interpreted as a sign of his intent to play another season.
The podcast continues to gain momentum, and with business ventures flourishing, Travis Kelce is effectively balancing his athletic career and entrepreneurial pursuits. Whether he decides to don the Chiefs’ jersey again or not, it is clear that the Kelce brothers are carving out a significant space in the media landscape while building a brand that shows no signs of slowing down.
