According to Wright, he hasn’t hung out with his buddy properly since the NFL star and the singer got together. “[We] have not talk talked since he’s been serious with Taylor Swift, since he’s become, like, a super-duper celebrity,” Wright, 40, explained in an episode of his What’s Wright? With Nick Wright podcast on March 27.

He was keen to clarify that there’s no bad blood between them though. “I don’t want to bother him during the year. And then, last off-season, he was travelling the world with Taylor,” he added.

Wright brought Kelce up in conversation after the Kansas City Chiefs tight end gave him a shout out on his and his brother Jason’s New Heights podcast.

“[I] f***ing love Nick Wright,” Travis said on the show.
