“Is that what happens when you have children?” “You get smarter?” the 35-year-old NFL player questioned, smirking. “Man, that’s all I had to do to become brilliant?”

“Just have a baby,” Fitzpatrick said, as the audience cheered.

One admirer commented on the video, stating Kelce wasn’t “hiding the baby fever,” while another raved about the football pro’s cheesy smile at the “mention of babies.”

The Super Bowl champion, who is presently dating Taylor Swift, has previously discussed his future children on his and brother Jason Kelce’s “New Heights” podcast.

“I might name my first kid Conan,” he remarked in an April episode, explaining that the inspiration originated from Arnold Schwarzenegger’s 1982 blockbuster “Conan the Barbarian.”

In the following month, the tight end discussed lab-grown diamonds on the podcast, fueling speculations of engagement and pregnancy.

When asked about French NBA star Victor Wembanyama, who stands over 7 feet tall, Travis replied, “You can’t tell me that dude wasn’t made in an f-king lab over there in France.”

“Lab-grown diamonds? That’s a lab-grown fucking NBA player. “Can’t wait til I make one,” he said.

However, Jason soon jumped in and implored his younger brother not to give “conspiracy theorists anything else to latch onto.”

At the time, several fans replied to Travis’ statements, with one tweeting, “Mini me is coming [sic] πŸ‘€.”

“DONT TELL ME THAT U CANT WAIT TO MAKE BABIES WITH MY TAYYY TRAAAAVVVVVV WHATS GOING OOOONNNN,” one more person said.
