Celebrating Papa Kelce in Style: Travis Kelce’s Father’s Day Message Blends Laughter and Love for a Touchdown-Worthy Tribute
Travis Kelce’s Father’s Day Message Scores a Touchdown: A Heartfelt and Hilarious Tribute to Papa Kelce
Kansas City, MO – Travis Kelce, the Kansas City Chiefs’ superstar tight end, is known for catching passes and scoring touchdowns on the field, but this Father’s Day, he threw a perfect spiral straight to the heart with a tribute to his dad, Ed Kelce—affectionately dubbed “Papa Kelce.” On March 27, 2025, Kelce took to social media with a message that blended his signature humor with a deep well of gratitude, proving once again why he’s a champion both in football and in family.
In a post that quickly racked up likes and shares, Kelce wrote: “Happy Father’s Day to the guy who taught me how to catch a ball, dodge a tackle, and survive a family dinner without losing my cool—Papa Kelce! You’re the real MVP, even if your dance moves are stuck in the ‘80s. Love ya, Dad!” Accompanied by a throwback photo of a young Travis dwarfed by Ed’s towering frame, the message was equal parts laugh-out-loud funny and genuinely moving.
Fans of the Kelce family—already familiar with Ed’s larger-than-life presence thanks to Travis and his brother Jason’s New Heights podcast—were quick to celebrate the tribute. “Travis just scored the Father’s Day touchdown we all needed,” one follower commented on X. “Papa Kelce raised a legend, and this is proof!” Another added, “The humor, the love—Travis nailed it. Ed’s gotta be grinning ear to ear.”
The post comes as no surprise to those who’ve followed Kelce’s journey. Ed Kelce, a former steelworker turned devoted dad, has been a fixture in Travis and Jason’s lives, often spotted cheering from the stands or dishing out dry wit on the brothers’ podcast. From teaching them the grit of sports to keeping them grounded amid NFL fame, Papa Kelce’s influence is undeniable—and Travis wasn’t about to let Father’s Day pass without giving credit where it’s due.
