Ex NBA Player Gives Dating Advice To Travis Kelce

Currently, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce is on top of the sports and entertainment world as his relationship with pop superstar Taylor Swift continues to capture the attention of millions.

Few have experienced anywhere near the level of fame Kelce is right now, but someone who has would be two-time MVP champion Lamar Odom. From 2009 to 2016, the former Sixth Man of the Year was married to Khloe Kardashian and made frequent appearances on the hit reality TV show Keeping Up With the Kardashians.

While Odom may not be in the celebrity dating scene anymore, he still has a wealth of experience within it. In a recent interview with The Messenger, Odom gave some friendly advice to Kelce in regards to his blossoming relationship.

“My advice would be to be strong and stay by her and be as close to her as possible,” he said. “There are going to be millions of women that want to taste what Taylor Swift is tasting and it can be overwhelming because we’re men. He just has to be strong and stick by his girl and he’ll be alright.”

So far, Kelce and Swift seem to be greatly enjoying each other's company. Swift has attended a handful of Chiefs games to support her new love interest, while Kelce was spotted at her "The Eras Tour" show in Argentina during Kansas City's bye week. Of course, any sighting of the two together is virtually guaranteed to go viral in no time.

It helps that both members of the new power couple are at the top of their game, with Kelce and the Chiefs pushing for another Super Bowl and Swift continuing to be probably the most popular woman in the world.
