Travis Kelce revealed his reality show days are behind him.

The Chiefs tight end, who starred in the 2016 dating show Catching Kelce, said he turned down an offer to appear in a new Netflix docuseries.

The streamer previously announced the follow-up to its smash hit Quarterback, titled Receiver, will follow five of the best pass catchers in the NFL and debut this summer.

The Kansas City superstar was approached about the show, after his teammate Patrick Mahomes appeared in the 2023 series Quarterback.

'After [Patrick Mahomes] did [Quarterback], I did get asked about it,' Kelce said during an interview on Bussin' with the Boys last month.

'I just — I don't know. I'd rather just play ball, man,' he went on.

'I'm already doing enough with the podcast and everything. I'm way over the reality s*** dude. I'm out on that s***.'

After the three-time Super Bowl champ turned down the opportunity, it was announced that the series would follow Justin Jefferson of the Minnesota Vikings, Davante Adams from the Las Vegas Raiders, Amon-Ra St. Brown of the Detroit Lions and San Francisco 49ers teammates George Kittle and Deebo Samuel. 

Kelce, whose fame skyrocketed to meteoric levels in 2023 amid his relationship with pop star Taylor Swift, has been keeping busy in the offseason with his podcast. 

He cited New Heights as one of the reasons he couldn't sign on to the reality show, almost a decade after appearing on the E! dating series. 

The 34-year-old was just 25 when he agreed to film the seven-episode series, which followed his attempt to find love out of a pool of 50 women, with one from each US state. 

'I don’t really look back on the Catching Kelce era,' he admitted in an interview with WSJ magazine last October.

He's since revealed that he's happier than ever with the Love Story songstress, although dating the most famous woman in the world has its challenges.

'You want to keep things private, but at the same time, like, I’m not here to hide anything. That’s my girl, you know what I mean? That’s my lady, so it’s like... I’m proud of that,' Kelce said during the interview on Bussin' with the Boys.

'I’m not sitting here trying to juggle like, "how can I keep this under wraps?" You just don’t want to let everyone into your personal life and be able to comment on it, knowing that everything she does is getting a headline.'

He also revealed the most surprising thing about dating the Cruel Summer hitmaker, explaining, '[Paparazzi] has been the craziest thing. Definitely the pulling up to the house, the just random, I don’t know.

He went on, 'It’s a different demographic than the NFL, so it’s been cool to dabble in that and see her following and everything. It’s been fun because a lot more kids are into the game and the Chiefs fans have turned into a lot of her fans. And her fans have turned into Chiefs fans, so I’ve had fun with every aspect of it.'
