Jena Sims' Bold Travis Kelce Confession Leaves Everyone Talking

Share Post

Jena Sims revealed Travis Kelce is her “hall pass” and that her husband, pro golfer Brooks Koepka, knows it.

The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model jokingly made the revelation while speaking to People for their “WAG World” series. She recalled meeting Kelce after she was asked about the Instagram pics she posted with him and her husband in February at the 2026 WM Phoenix Open.

“I was so excited to meet Travis Kelce, I mean, he’s my hall pass,” she said. “Brooks knows that.”

Sims admitted she planned her outfit to meet the Kansas City Chiefs tight end that day, noting, “Brooks was like, ‘You’re so ridiculous.'”

“I don’t know how to describe it. Sporty, a little more sportier than I would have normally gone in this type of day, but he was so nice, so sweet,” Sims said of meeting Kelce. “He met our nanny. He met [my son] Crew, obviously Brooks. He played with Brooks, that’s how I met him.”

Sims said Kelce later recognized her when she saw him again.

“At the Masters this past year, he came straight up to me and was like, ‘Hey, it’s good to see you again.’ I’m like, ‘Oh my God. You remember me?'” she gushed.

When asked if she was attending Kelce’s upcoming wedding to Taylor Swift, Sims said she was not.

“I wish,” she said with a laugh. “I don’t know them like that. It’s like, ‘Please, this girl is crazy.'”

“I’ll be like, ‘It’s not too late Travis!'” she continued to joke.

Sims, 37, and Koepka, 36, met at the 2015 Masters and tied the knot in June 2022. They welcomed son Crew, 2, in July 2023.

Meanwhile, multiple sources told Page Six last week that Swift and Kelce are tying the knot at an iconic venue — Madison Square Garden in New York City.

“Everyone’s been sworn to secrecy,” one source said.

Page Six previously exclusively reported that the pop superstar and the NFL athlete, both 36, are planning to tie the knot in New York over July 3 weekend.
