Travis Kelce still hasn’t announced whether he will play for the Kansas City Chiefs next season, but one insider believes it’s time for the franchise to part ways with the legendary tight end.

“I would move on from Travis Kelce and let me tell you why,” ESPN’s Mike Tannenbaum said in a Wednesday, February 18 appearance on SportsCenter. “When you’re in the front office, you have to project what a player is going to do, not what they’ve done.”

He continued, “I’ve made that mistake countless times in my career and Travis Kelce is a first ballot Hall of Famer. But when you watch him and make an honest and sober evaluation of his 2025 performance, clearly his best days are behind him.”

Kelce, 36, has played all 12 of his NFL seasons with the Chiefs, winning three Super Bowls and being named to 11 Pro Bowls along the way. His 2025 season was the third in a row in which he failed to accumulate 1,000 receiving yards and his 76 receptions were his fewest since 2015.

Travis Kelce has played all 174 of his career regular season games with the Kansas City Chiefs, but his time at Arrowhead Stadium could be coming to an end. The tight end has openly discussed retirement on his “New Heights” podcast with brother Jason Kelce, and even if he does play next year, there’s no […]

He still managed 11.2 yards per reception, his best mark since 2022 and played in all 17 Chiefs regular season games.

Kelce mulled retirement after last season, but decided to return after Kansas City’s blowout loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in the Super Bowl. This time, the Chiefs are coming off a shocking losing season and their quarterback, Patrick Mahomes, is recovering from ACL surgery.

“I’ve got so much love for this team, this organization and the people here, so I’ll spend some time with them, go through exit meetings tomorrow and get close to the family and figure things out,” Kelce told reporters after the Chiefs’ season finale against the Las Vegas Raiders in January.

Kelce has made his love for the game no secret, but whether he returns will depend on if he believes he can live up to his own high standards.

Travis Kelce doesn’t have an answer to the question on everyone’s mind — he’s just trying to process his emotions as the Kansas City Chiefs completed their 2025 home schedule with another tough loss. “A whole lot of emotions,” Kelce, 36, told reporters after the Chiefs’ 20-13 home loss to the Denver Broncos on Thursday, […]

“I think if my body can heal up and rest up and I can feel confident that I can go out there and give it another 18, 20, 21-week run, I think I would do it in a heartbeat,” he said on a January episode of his “New Heights” podcast, which he hosts with brother Jason Kelce. “I think right now it’s just finding that answer and seeing how the body feels after this game and when it all settles down.”

While Travis considers his future, a source exclusively told Us Weekly in January that he has options outside of football. The insider said that talks between Travis and Netflix are “well underway” for him to “serve as their exclusive broadcast sports correspondent.”

A second source exclusively told Us that Travis “has had talks with his team about retiring and not playing football next season.” Those talks have been centered around what his next career move would be if he does decide to hang up his cleats.

If Travis does decide to return, he has the support of the Chiefs’ front office. Team owner Clark Hunt told NFL Network’s Good Morning Football in January that “there’s no doubt in my mind that he can still play.”

“We’re trying to be respectful and let him have the time that he needs to make a decision,” he added.

America’s Next Top Model’s most memorable contestants aren’t staying quiet about their experience on TV.

After more than 24 seasons, the reality show is being put under the microscope in a new Netflix docuseries titled Reality Check: Inside America’s Next Top Model.

While host Tyra Banks and judges J. Alexander, Jay Manuel and Nigel Barker are featured in the new project, many viewers are interested in the untold stories by some of the show’s breakout stars.

Since Reality Check premiered on Netflix on February 16, 2026, several contestants have shared their honest and unfiltered reviews of the project. Some are even commenting on Banks’ involvement with the show.

Netflix will explore the most controversial moments from groundbreaking reality competition America’s Next Top Model in its new documentary Reality Check. The three-part docuseries from American Manhunt: Osama Bin Laden directors Mor Loushy and Daniel Sivan pulls no punches as it examines the way America’s Next Top Model changed the fashion industry — for better […]

“When I signed on for it, Tyra wasn’t even going to be on the show, so I was kind of surprised that it was more like a judge-focused show,” cycle 10 winner Whitney Thompson said via Instagram on February 17, 2026. “I would want to hear more from the contestants.”

Keep reading to see what cast members are saying about Reality Check and if it’s an accurate representation of their experience on America’s Next Top Model:

Shandi Sullivan

America’s Next Top Model cycle 2 finalist Shandi Sullivan claimed that she was sexually assaulted during a group trip to Italy during her time on the show. Now that she’s shared more of her experience, Sullivan is grateful for the support.

“Welp the documentary is out and now you know more of my story…after all of the years the Top Model girls and what we went through were never forgotten,” Sullivan wrote via Facebook on February 16, 2026. “At the age of 43, I continue to struggle with it; always smiling. That’s why I took this opportunity. Knowing that Tyra didn’t have control over my narrative, that the director and producers here had my back…that’s why I did it. I did it for me. Because I mattered and I still do! The love I have felt today has been immense. Thank you to everyone that heard me.”

Whitney Thompson

America’s Next Top Model cycle 10 winner Whitney Thompson addressed the criticism Tyra Banks was receiving from the docuseries.

“Hating Tyra is easy, right? I mean, it’s easy to blame her. But the truth is that the industry would not be what it is today if it wasn’t for her putting these things on Top Model back then,” Thompson claimed via Instagram on February 17, 2026. “We would not be gasping at the craziness that she put on TV if she hadn’t done it and shifted our entire mindset. She took queer, Black, trans, different weights, different heights and she put them into the average American’s living room where everyone was together watching these shows, rooting for someone who didn’t necessarily look like them.”

The model continued, “Because of that, it shifted the whole dynamic to where people could actually use people who weren’t identical to them in advertising. That had never happened before.”

Tiffany Richardson

America’s Next Top Model cycle 4 contestant Tiffany Richardson won’t forget the way Tyra Banks yelled at her before being eliminated.

“Hold up @tyrabanks let’s keep it cute … you know how you treated me the whole time off and on camera, YOU WAS A BULLY!!! You treated me like s*** and said the nastiest things about me and my son,” Richardson claimed in a since deleted Instagram post. “That is not how the argument went but YALL EDITED TO MAKE IT LOOK LIKE YOU CARED.”

Banks admitted in the docuseries that she “went too far” while addressing the “tough” moment.

“You know, I lost it. It was probably bigger than her. It was family, friends, society, Black girls, all the challenges that we have,” she explained. “So many people saying that we’re not good enough. I think all that was in that moment. That’s some Black girl stuff that goes real deep inside of me, but I knew I went too far.”

Adrianne Curry

Although America’s Next Top Model cycle 1 winner Adrianne Curry declined to participate in the Netflix doc, she spoke out about the project on social media.

“I was just told one of the Top Model judges admitted they’d advance girls that were not the best models…just good tv,” Curry wrote via X on February 17, 2026. “That was me. I’ve said it for years, I never was the best one. I just had the best sob story. It is nice to have it confirmed.”

Keenyah Hill

America’s Next Top Model cycle 4 contestant Keenyah Hill participated in the Netflix doc with hopes that her story would be shared accurately.

“I’m grateful for the opportunity to lend my voice about my experience on America’s Next Top Model,” Hill wrote via Instagram on February 16, 2026, before watching the finished product. “Sending SO MUCH LOVE to the ANTM Alumni ❤️. I know we all had very different experiences on the show and I feel for everyone who had to heal from the aftermath with half the world watching!! Grateful to have been a part of such a legendary show… Can’t wait to watch 🍿.”

Lisa D’Amato 

America’s Next Top Model cycle 17 winner Lisa D’Amato is hopeful that E!’s upcoming project titled Dirty Rotten Scandal will be a more revealing look at the reality TV franchise she was a part of.

“#ANTM #NETFLIX mark your calendars for Dirty Rotten Scandal’s on E! March 11th,” D’Amato wrote via Instagram on February 16, 2026. “The Netflix was still very tame and sugarcoated compared to a lot of us and what happened behind the scenes to US that they kept silenced. We will have the last word. Thank you 🙏 All my love to @miss_jalexander ♥️.”

Eva Marcille

Eva Marcille, who won the third cycle of America’s Next Top Model, revealed she was “gobsmacked” after watching Reality Check: Inside America’s Next Top Model.

“I was in awe … My mouth was wide open,” she said in a February 2026 interview with CBS Mornings. “To be a part of a club, and not know what’s going on in the club is crazy.”

Marcille, who was not approached to be in the doc, added that she was horrified to hear some of the stories mentioned in the Netflix documentary.

“I’ve lived my experience. I’ve walked in my shoes. And though there is a level of relatability one would assume, someone having walked in the same shoes, I had no idea. Absolutely no idea. I have been asked about Tyra for 21 years,” she explained. “No matter what project I’m doing, what I’m involved in, somehow Top Model finds its way in my interview.”

Brian Kelley and Tyler Hubbard are prioritizing their friendship before releasing any new Florida Georgia Line music.

“Right now, I think just working on our brotherhood is kind of top tier, most important for us,” Kelley, 40, said on the Wednesday, February 18, episode of the “Country Outdoors” podcast. “Lord willing, the brotherhood will lead its way home, so we’ll see.”

Hubbard, 39, and Kelley cofounded Florida Georgia Line in 2010, going onto release four studio albums together. The two musicians announced a hiatus from FGL in 2022, each pursuing solo projects.

“I think we’re both focused on the friendship and working on our own stuff still,” Kelley said on Wednesday. “I think time will tell, and I’m excited about what God can do, and I think the options are endless right now. It’s cool to see what time can do, as well. You plan one thing and God and other things happen and things shift and cycles come back.”

Tyler Hubbard hinted that it wasn’t his decision for Florida Georgia Line to come to an end. “For me, it was really unexpected,” Hubbard, 37, said on the Tuesday, May 7, episode of the “Bussin’ With the Boys” podcast, claiming former bandmate Brian Kelley was “adamant” about going their separate ways. Hubbard recalled his conversation […]

He continued, “I think, over the past couple of years, we’ve really even more so tried to allow God to move and open those doors or close those doors, whatever it may be in life and really not have it our way. I think [any] time we get set on something, if it changes, you get frustrated. We’re just a piece of sand in this world and just trying to say, ‘God, take the wheel.’”

Kelly further teased that a potential FGL reunion “does excite” him without revealing an exact timeline for musically coming back together with Hubbard.

Months earlier, Hubbard teased that he also hoped the duo could mend fences.

“I hadn’t spoken to BK a lot in the last couple years, but we’re going on a hike next week,” Hubbard said on the “Human School” podcast in December 2025. “The way I see it is I have a desire for that friendship. I miss the guy that I was partners with for 10 years. I miss my old roommate, my best man [at] my wedding.”

According to Hubbard, their friendship didn’t “have to be what it was” during their band heyday.

Florida Georgia Line’s Brian Kelley shared a cryptic post following his recent reunion with former bandmate Tyler Hubbard. “After going on the hike with T-Hubb,” Kelley, 40, wrote alongside an Instagram Reel on Friday, January 2. In the clip, Kelley can be seen walking through nature before cutting to a clip of the popular Jon […]

“It doesn’t have to equal FGL doing anything, but we need to repair and spend some time together face to face and just walk and talk, hang and go fishing or get a guitar out,” he said. “Enough time has gone by. What’s happened has happened, but there hasn’t been any real repair at all. What I’m hungry for is, let me get my friend back.”

Hubbard further shut down rumors about what led to their friendship breakup.

“There’s not a good guy, bad guy in this equation. There’s not a right or a wrong,” he said late last year. “BK stuck to his convictions and led with his gut and decided to make a decision based on his passion. I set a boundary that I wasn’t willing to cross and it is what it is. We both accepted it way before the internet accepted it.”

Hubbard also claimed that Kelley was eager to work on solo projects over FGL ones.

“We had a really good conversation for, like, an hour. I was able to be really honest. He was able to be really honest,” Hubbard recalled on the 2025 podcast. “He just basically said, ‘Man, I’m really feeling called, like, this is the time for me to do this and I really need your support and want your support.’ [I said] ‘whatever you ultimately want to do, I want you to be happy and I want you to follow your gut and your heart and if that means not doing this, so be it. But I beg you to reconsider.’ That was not the path I wanted.”

Kelley dropped his solo record, Sunshine State Of Mind, in 2021, while Hubbard released his self-titled debut in 2023 and Strong in 2024.

Whitney Port gave an update on her fertility journey after a recent embryo transfer with her surrogate.

“Everything went amazingly,” the Hills alum, 40, enthusiastically said in a TikTok video on Wednesday, February 18, while discussing her trip to New York City with husband Tim Rosenman. “They said she looked amazing and the embryo plumped up like it should. I’m so happy that this part is behind us but there is so much left.”

Port went on to say that when they met their surrogate, they immediately felt like she had “the warmest, most wonderful vibe.”

“She even told me that she looked up what temperature she should be sleeping in last night ahead of the transfer,” Port added with a smile. “It was just everything I hoped it would be and now she can take a pregnancy test in five days, but you know, you’re supposed to wait the full 10 days for the blood test.”

Whitney Port’s journey to expand her family with husband Tim Rosenman has faced its fair share of setbacks. Port and Rosenman, who wed in November 2015, welcomed son Sonny in July 2017. Following Sonny’s arrival, the Hills alum suffered multiple pregnancy losses. “It’s been seven years of trying since Sonny. I got pregnant about a […]

Port explained that she didn’t feel “so nervous” about the surrogate not getting pregnant. Instead, she’s “more nervous about lasting through the first trimester,” since that’s when all of her own miscarriages have happened, along with other surrogates she’s used.

“Just gotta get through this first trimester and then I’ll feel like I can start thinking ahead and planning,” she added. “We’ve otherwise had the best trip here.”

In the caption, Port gushed, “We met our surrogate!!!!!!!!!!!! Let’s get dressed and talk about it. So many emotions.”

Port and Rosenman, 46, are already the parents of son Sonny, 8, who was born in July 2017. Fans were quick to support the couple in the comments section.

“Wishing you, Timmy and Sonny all the best!! 💕💕💕 this is so exciting,” one wrote. A second follower gushed, “Good luck with the baby u deserve to be a mommy again ❤️.”

A third commented, “Oh Whitney, I am so excited to hear this — sending prayers for a healthy pregnancy and baby!!”

Port has been open about her struggles with infertility in the past. Last month, during an episode of the “Spread the Jelly” podcast, Port got candid about accepting motherhood.

“I don’t think motherhood looks like what I imagined,” she said. “I never thought I’d be a mom to an only child. I always knew I wanted more than one. I didn’t picture this, and that’s been a little weird for me. My identity as a mom doesn’t feel fully solidified yet because I feel incomplete. I really do.”

The reality star continued, “I’m trying to come to a place of acceptance with having one child, because I haven’t been able to get pregnant with a second. We’re still on the journey and still trying. But it feels like there’s a piece of my motherhood pie that isn’t complete.”

Port confessed that sometimes she feels “insecure” when talking with other working mothers. “There’s this feeling like one isn’t enough,” she explained. “Or that it’s not as hard, or not as much to balance, or not the full picture. And I carry that insecurity. I’ve done a lot of work around it.”

The Hills alum Whitney Port and her husband, Tim Rosenman, are hopeful about their fertility journey in 2026. “The surrogacy journey is on a positive trajectory,” Port, 40, began the Friday, January 2, episode of her eponymous “With Whit” podcast. “We just signed our contract and are now awaiting next steps for a transfer, but […]

While she usually feels like being a family of three is “wonderful,” Port said she sometimes senses something is missing. “There’s still a part of me that doesn’t feel complete,” she said.

She also opened up about trying to expand her family through IVF for the past seven years and experiencing five miscarriages, which led to the couple’s decision to use a surrogate.

“I decided to take my power back and see it as a privilege; I don’t need to keep putting my body through this after six years of trying. I was losing myself,” she added.
