In addition to being Taylor Swift’s boyfriend, Travis Kelce has proved he’s ready to take Hollywood by storm. Not long after he signed up to be the host of an Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader? spinoff, the Kansas City Chiefs star joined the cast of Ryan Murphy’s new season of American Horror Story, titled Grotesquerie.
Alongside Kelce in the cast will be an impressive lineup of actors including Lesley Manville, Courtney B. Vance and Niecy Nash, per IMDb. And, as it turns out, Nash has not only become a co-star to Kelce, but a friend too.
According to insiders for Page Six, the Emmy winner has bonded with Kelce and offered her support throughout production.
“They would not stop laughing the entire time they were filming,” a source told the outlet. “They have a similar sense of humor and bonded over their joy for life.”
“[Nash] very supportive of his leap into acting,” another source echoed. We love to see it!
On Instagram, the actress, who’s starred in many Murphy productions in the past, announced the news of Kelce’s hiring and has been sharing glimpses of her and Kelce’s connection. “This is what happens when WINNERS link up,” captioned a video of the two on Instagram. “Welcome to Grostequerie!”
In another video, Nash and her crew pitched some dance moves for Kelce’s touchdown celebrations. “Travis Kelce is in need of some new moves on the field, so I’m on the case,” she said in the beginning of the video.
“Don’t be fooled by the video…. We are working hard for @ryanmurphyproductions… In between shots is another story,” Nash captioned the video.
In the comments, fans of Nash and Kelce are celebrating their newfound friendship. “I don’t know why it never occurred to me that I needed this duo, but these two delightful humans together is ???????? ????,” one commenter wrote. “This friendship is so adorable!! ????” echoed another. We couldn’t agree more!
