Travis Kelce is getting some attention from Chiefs fans after displaying a new look on his podcast on Wednesday. 

At a quick glance, the 35-year-old Kansas City Chiefs tight end didn't look like he had made any monumental changes to his appearance.

However, shortly after the "New Heights" show posted a teaser for the April 23 episode on X, fans began commenting on what looked different about the NFL player. 

"Mr. Iron Man himself," the post's caption said, alongside photos of Travis, his brother and co-host, ESPN analyst Jason Kelce, and former Cleveland Browns legend and Hall of Famer Joe Thomas. 

In the photo, Travis was dressed casually, wearing a grey long-sleeve shirt and a white baseball cap with "Madison Club" on the front. 

He was still sporting his signature beard. However, his skin did appear to be quite a bit tanner than normal, and fans took note of it. 

"Travy is looking TANNED and happy," one person commented. 

"Travis, share the tan routine please," another person said.

"It's nice to see Travis so tan and happy," someone else wrote.

Another fan posted on X, "omfg he's so tan what the h***." 

Someone else commented, "Man has been in that sunshine looking fineeee." 

What has Travis Kelce been doing in the offseason? 

Kelce has confirmed he will return to the Chiefs for the 2025-2026 season.

He explained his decision to return on his "New Heights" podcast, telling his brother, Jason, “I still feel like I can play at a high level and possibly at a higher level than I did last year." 

In the meantime, he's enjoying his last couple of weeks of freedom before he returns to the locker room. 

While Kelce and Swift have been able to keep a fairly low profile since the singer has wrapped up her "Eras Tour" and the Chiefs have been on a break, they have been spotted in public a few times.

The couple reportedly visited Park City, Utah and Big Sky, Montana and have dined out with Erin Andrews.

"They have been traveling nonstop and very much enjoy it," a source told "People" in an article published on April 16. 

"They are making the most of their time off together. They are hanging out with friends, too. It's a special time for them."

The insider told the outlet that Kelce and his girlfriend are "very serious and in sync" and "value the same things." 

"Right now, the focus is very much on private time out of the spotlight. 

The pair has been dating since 2023.
