Travis Kelce has joked that he should have children to "become brilliant."

The 35-year-old NFL player, who is in a relationship with pop superstar Taylor Swift, quipped that he will think about starting a family after Ryan Fitzpatrick, one of the celebrity contestants on his quiz show Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity?, claimed parenthood makes people "wiser."

During an episode of the Prime Video series, Travis asked: “Is that what happens when you have kids? You get smarter? Man, that’s all I had to do to become brilliant?”

Former NFL star Ryan replied: “Just have a baby," to which the audience cheered.

Meanwhile, Travis' beau Taylor is unlikely to join him and his family for Thanksgiving this week, according to his mom, Donna.

The 34-year-old singer spent last holiday without the Kansas City Chiefs star, and due to her "busy" schedule with her nearly-wrapped Eras Tour, his mom doesn't believe she will be joining them this year.

When asked if they were planning a big family feast, Donna insisted they are not doing much, as Travis has a football game the following day.

Speaking to the Today show, she says: “I am going to be at a football game. Travis is playing the day after Thanksgiving. You know, football is always the holidays. It’s football’s family.

“Not that anything’s planned. I think we’re just going to be at the football game.”

When quizzed on whether the "All Too Well" hitmaker will be joining them, she replied: "She’s kinda busy right now.”

Swift is in Canada for the final shows of her record-breaking tour.
