The Kelce brothers continue to blend sports and pop culture with flair, as their hit podcast New Heights welcomed Oscar-winner Ben Affleck for one of its most entertaining episodes yet. As fans noticed Taylor Swift 's absence from recent events, Travis Kelce has reportedly taken a deliberate step back from the spotlight—focusing instead on football, family, and his rapidly growing media empire.
Ben Affleck steals the show with stories of Tom Brady and taxes
The episode took a cinematic turn as Jason Kelce introduced Affleck with a dramatic, tongue-in-cheek monologue listing his most iconic films—from Good Will Hunting and Argo to Gone Girl and The Town, not to mention his Dunkin’ Super Bowl ads. The actor responded in kind: “That's the best f*ing introduction I've ever had in my life,” he said, setting a playful tone for the episode.
Affleck opened up about his career and his undying love for Boston sports, but one story stood out. He described playing catch with Tom Brady, calling it a moment just short of the best in his life: “Aside from the birth of my children, that was the greatest day,” he confessed. And when asked about doing taxes, he joked, “I mean, I can file them… I might get arrested for tax evasion.”
The conversation offered a rare, lighthearted look at one of Hollywood’s most private stars while further solidifying New Heights as a unique crossover between locker room banter and celebrity conversation.
Travis Kelce retreats from public eye as football takes priority
Amid their rising podcast success and celebrity mingling—recently spotted playing poker in Las Vegas with Justin Timberlake—Travis Kelce appears to be recalibrating his off-field life. A source told Us Weekly, “Travis wants to take [a breather] from the public eye. He was working too much last year, and he didn't play as well as he wanted. He wants to have a good season and not have the focus be on his relationship with Taylor.”
That shift in focus might explain Taylor Swift’s absence from recent outings, including Vegas. While their relationship remains strong, it’s clear the Chiefs’ tight end is narrowing in on the gridiron—perhaps preparing for what could be his final NFL season.

Whether behind the mic or off the field, the Kelces are building something bigger than football—and doing it without sacrificing who they are.

Just because he plays the accountant doesn’t mean he can do his taxes 😅
