Travis Kelce ‘taken aback’ by TV star’s claim he has a drinking problem, sources say.
The One Tree Hill star, Jana Kramer, talked the Kansas City Chiefs star down on her Whine Down podcast, where she said the tight end was ‘always drunk’.

A source says: “He was taken aback as he’s never met her and is just living his life.

They deny the athlete has a problem with drinking, saying Travis Kelce’s relationship with Taylor Swift has pushed him further into the spotlight.
They add: “The guy is under a microscope, basically being watched everywhere he goes.
“Of course you’re going to see him drinking. He’s being watched everywhere he goes.”
The insider says it would be harder for him to hide if the false claims were true, because he is so well recognized.
They call Travis a ‘normal human being’ who is living his life like everyone else, but they don’t have the hardship of being in the ‘public eye’.
The Super Bowl champ is also said to be training for the upcoming NFL season, so drinking heavily would impact his performance.
It comes after the 34-year-old was seen chugging a beer at his honorary college graduation last month, during a live show for his and Jason Kelce‘s podcast, New Heights.
