In a surprising turn of events, NFL star Travis Kelce has openly expressed his bias towards Blake Lively's debut role as Bridget in the 2005 film 'Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants.' During a recent episode of the 'New Heights' podcast, Kelce and his brother Jason discussed the film, with Jason describing Lively's character as "tall, strong, bold, beautiful, athletic."
While the brothers joked about Bridget's non-athletic running in the movie, Travis Kelce continued to praise Lively's performance, calling her story the "most relatable and probably the most fun." The timing of the podcast episode's release, which was recorded nearly a year ago in October 2024, has raised questions about the status of Lively's friendship with Taylor Swift.
