Travis Kelce is a man of many looks! Over the years the Kansas City Chiefs star has sported several different facial hair styles, from a bushy beard to a singular 'stache to baby-face bare. Kelce's ever-changing looks have caused so much fare, he's even had to address some of them on social media and New Heights, the podcast he co-hosts with his brother Jason Kelce.

See photos of the talented tight end's ever-changing whiskers over the course of his career.

Going into 2017, the gifted player let his beard do the work and kept his hair cropped. The Pro Bowler still looked just as charming with a curly coif on top.

Kelce fans went crazy when he shaved off his facial hair the following year. In response to some of his harsher critics, the superstar athlete drew a black beard over his bare face to share online. "#NewProfilePic," he captioned the edited selfie.

He once again delivered another surprise look when he debuted a mustache in August 2022. The Super Bowl champion later explained why he maintains a mustache — which he nicknamed El Travador — during training camp specifically: "That's when I don't have any paid appearances, or I'm not subject to doing anything where I have to team up with a company and look presentable," he explained on an episode of New Heights.

A few weeks before Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift confirmed their relationship, he and Jason joked about her facial hair opinions on their podcast. Travis was quick to shut down his brother when he asked what Taylor thought about the 'stache.

"Yeah, we're not gonna bring up Taylor Swift in this episode," the younger Kelce brother answered. With a laugh, he added, "But something tells me she's gonna like it."

Fuzz in the Family

It seems the love for fuzz runs in the family. When their teams faced off in the 2023 Super Bowl, Travis, along with big bro and Philadelphia Eagles star Jason, made a bet that the loser would have to shave their hair and their beard.

While Jason was down to lose his locs, he refused to shave his facial hair. "I don't like the way my face looks and I'm going to keep my beard," Jason said during an episode of New Heights.
