Philadelphia Eagles safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson took to social media to poke fun at Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce following the Eagles’ Super Bowl LIX victory on Sunday. After a late-game interception return for a touchdown was nullified, Gardner-Johnson posted a message that appeared to target Kelce’s romantic life, stating, “Should’ve stayed w that thick s***.”
This comment seemed to reference Kelce’s ex-girlfriend Kayla Nicole while contrasting her with his current partner, pop star Taylor Swift. Both women were present to witness the Eagles’ decisive 40-22 win over the Chiefs. Nicole was seen celebrating on the field, while Kelce was later spotted heading to Swift’s suite after the game, looking dejected as he left the field.
As speculation arises about whether Kelce will return to the Chiefs for the 2025 season or consider retirement, Gardner-Johnson is set to join his teammates in Philadelphia on Friday to celebrate their championship victory. In the Super Bowl, he recorded three tackles and had a standout season, playing in 16 games and tying his career high with six interceptions, including one returned for a touchdown during the regular season.
