Before becoming an NFL icon, Travis Kelce briefly stepped into reality TV stardom with his own dating show, Catching Kelce. The 2016 series featured 50 contestants, one representing each U.S. state, competing for his heart in a football-themed twist on traditional dating shows. Contestants moved into a Los Angeles mansion, went on group and one-on-one dates, and faced weekly eliminations as Kelce searched for a long-term partner.
