Travis Kelce shared his reaction to meeting Julia Roberts at the final night of girlfriend Taylor Swift‘s Dublin, Ireland, shows, after some fans accused the actress of getting “handsy” with him. “I met Julia Roberts in Ireland, in Dublin. That was pretty cool, she was awesome,” Travis, 34, dished during the Wednesday, July 3, episode of his “New Heights” podcast with brother Jason Kelce.
“Her and Stevie Nicks were in there having some fun,” he added, referring to the VIP tent at the city’s Aviva Stadium. The Kansas City Chiefs star joked about the starry company he’s kept since he and Taylor began dating in the summer of 2023.
“Some of these people you just meet and you’re just like, ‘I don’t know what I’m doing here. You are unbelievable, your talent is unbelievable, how you present yourself is unbelievable and I am just a jamoke supporting his girlfriend,’ and it’s just so much fun,” he quipped.
After the concert, a viral video surfaced of Julia, 56, touching Travis on his chest and shoulders while leaning in close and saying something to him. “Wow handsy much? The scratching? What is her problem??” one person wrote under the TikTok video, while another added, “WTF is wrong with JR? Why is she scratching his chest and pushing herself into him?? He is so uncomfortable trying to push her off and she holds him up.
This is uber strange.” One Swiftie wrote, “Oh dang!! Too close for my comfort. Back up Ms. Roberts,” while another noted, “Whoa, personal space!”
However, others thought her gesture was sweet, especially after lip readers claimed she told Travis, “I’m just so happy for you guys,” which caused the NFL star to smile and let out a hearty laugh. One person left the comment, “A little scratch and mom love from Julia Roberts – she’s just as happy for Taylor as we are!”
