“He treats her like a child": Travis Kelce is ‘pretty obsessed’ with Wendy as his new dog wins over the NFL star

Travis Kelce has found a new source of joy away from football, and this time, she has four paws and a very fluffy coat. The Kansas City Chiefs star is reportedly smitten with Wendy, the Samoyed he shares with wife Taylor Swift. After quietly becoming part of their lives, the young dog has now stepped into the spotlight with a major fashion campaign and an adorable new celebrity status.Travis Kelce’s new dog Wendy becomes part of the familyWendy may be new to the public, but she is not exactly a newcomer at home. A source told PEOPLE that Kelce has become deeply attached to the Samoyed, describing him as “pretty obsessed” with his new companion.“He absolutely adores Wendy. Travis is her person. She’s very attached to him, and he brings her everywhere he can,” the source shares, noting the New Heights podcast host “treats her like a child.”“He’s pretty obsessed with her. She wants to be part of everything and go everywhere with them. She’s incredibly sweet and cuddly.”The description paints a picture of Wendy as more than just another household pet. She appears to have quickly settled into the couple's everyday life, with Kelce taking every opportunity to keep her close.Wendy is also joining a rather famous pet household. Swift already has three cats, Meredith Grey, Olivia Benson and Benjamin Button. With the Samoyed now in the family, the newlyweds have four pets between them.Kelce revealed on the fifth season premiere of New Heights that he and Swift had actually had Wendy for “quite a while.” He also said the dog is a little over a year old, suggesting that fans are only now getting their first public glimpse of a pet who has already become important to the couple.Travis Kelce brings Wendy into the Tommy Hilfiger campaignWendy's public debut came in an unexpected setting: fashion. She appeared alongside Kelce and Gigi Hadid in Tommy Hilfiger's Fall 2026 campaign, which debuted on Sept. 1.The appearance was not simply a last-minute casting decision. Kelce said on New Heights that bringing Wendy into the shoot was his idea, although he first discussed it with Swift. According to Kelce, she was “all for it.”The Samoyed seemed perfectly suited to the polished campaign. In the video, Wendy joins Kelce at New York City's Plaza Hotel, where the pair share a relaxed moment on a couch.“It’s kind of crazy how perfect she looks in the Tommy Hilfiger world,” Travis said of Wendy on the podcast episode. “She matches the brand and the shoot, and it was pretty easy to get her to jump on the couch and have some fun with us. But yeah, Wendy’s a model. She’s a model dog.”That playful introduction has given Wendy an identity of her own in the Kelce-Swift household. She is not just the couple's newest pet. For Kelce, she is already a constant companion, a cuddly presence and, apparently, a natural-born model.And if her first campaign is any indication, Wendy may have just started her celebrity career.Get the latest Sports News and Live updates.
