Jena Sims Says Travis Kelce Is Her ‘Hall Pass’

Jena Sims is making headlines after jokingly revealing that Travis Kelce is her celebrity “hall pass” — and according to her, her pro golfer husband Brooks Koepka is fully aware of it.

Speaking with People as part of its “WAG World” series, Sims recalled meeting the Kansas City Chiefs star earlier this year and admitted she was especially excited for the encounter. “I was so excited to meet Travis Kelce, I mean, he’s my hall pass,” Sims said. “Brooks knows that.”

The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model said the meeting took place during the 2026 WM Phoenix Open, where Kelce crossed paths with Koepka and his family.

Sims even joked that she put extra thought into her outfit that day because she knew Kelce would be there. “Brooks was like, ‘You’re so ridiculous,’” she recalled.

What stood out most to Sims, however, was Kelce’s personality. She described him as “so nice” and “so sweet,” adding that he spent time interacting with the people around her, including her family. According to Sims, Kelce met her son, Crew, their nanny, and chatted with Koepka during the event.

The positive impression apparently lasted. Sims said she saw Kelce again at the Masters and was surprised when he remembered her. “At the Masters this past year, he came straight up to me and was like, ‘Hey, it’s good to see you again,’” she said. “I’m like, ‘Oh my God. You remember me?’”

The comments arrive as Kelce continues to attract attention both on and off the field. The three-time Super Bowl champion recently signed a reported three-year, $54 million extension with the Chiefs and has spent much of the offseason in the spotlight alongside fiancée Taylor Swift.

The couple was recently seen courtside during the Eastern Conference Finals between the Cleveland Cavaliers and New York Knicks, where Kelce energized the crowd and the pair briefly appeared on the arena scoreboard.

Wedding speculation has also followed the couple throughout the spring. Earlier reports had pointed to Rhode Island as a possible location, but later reports shifted the focus to New York City.

More recently, reports have suggested the pair could be planning a July wedding in Manhattan, with Madison Square Garden emerging as a rumored venue.

As for Sims, she made it clear she does not expect an invitation. Asked whether she would be attending the wedding, she laughed off the possibility. “I wish,” she said, before joking that it was probably too late to make the guest list.
