Travis Kelce recently shared a humorous anecdote about his visit to the White House with the Kansas City Chiefs. During a discussion on the New Heights podcast with Jason and Travis Kelce, the NFL star revealed that the Secret Service “weren’t too happy” with him during his team’s visit to the Washington, D.C., landmark on Friday, May 31.
The reason for their displeasure? Kelce admitted that during his previous visit to the White House with the Chiefs in June 2023, he had an “expired ID.” This revelation stemmed from a previous Instagram post where he shared the embarrassing moment.
He humorously recounted: “I caught s— for that,” and added, “I made sure because of what happened last time and how embarrassed I was for going to the White House, with an expired ID, I made sure that I brought my passport this time so that it showed that I was a citizen in Missouri.”
The 34-year-old NFL player also emphasized the importance of ensuring that he had the proper documentation during his most recent visit. He explained, “And I was official, and I was legit, and I was doing things the right way because everyone has to do that at the White House.”
Kelce’s lighthearted retelling of the incident provides a glimpse into the less formal side of his experiences, showcasing his down-to-earth personality. The accompanying image of him at the White House further illustrates the light-hearted nature of his story.
