"Love Is Blind" Star Rob Feeley: Why Everyone Confuses Him With Travis Kelce

TVS News AI, editorially supervised, presents "Love Is Blind" Star Rob Feeley: Why Everyone Confuses Him With Travis Kelce.

"People stop me in the airport, and I'm like, 'Dude, I'm not that dude.'" Rob Feeley says this to a woman who can't even see him. The scene takes place in the "Pods," the shielded booths where the contestants of "Love Is Blind" talk before they even face each other.

How the Kelce comparison comes up in the pods

Feeley is a contestant on Season 11 of the Netflix ratings show. In a new episode, he brings up the topic of celebrity lookalikes with his date Diana Perrone. Right at the start of the conversation, he tries to describe his look: "Put it this way, I don't think you'd be like, 'Woah! He's something I didn't…'" – Feeley reportedly works as an "AI accountant" and is visibly searching for a way to say that he looks like his doppelgänger Travis Kelce.

Then he gets straight to the point: At the airport, people regularly approach him about the Kansas City Chiefs tight end because they mistake him for Kelce. "People stop me in the airport, and I'm like, 'Dude, I'm not that dude,'" Feeley says – in essence, that means: he is constantly being mistaken for Kelce and regularly makes clear at the airport that he is not the NFL star.

Why this shouldn't really happen in the pod format

The fact that Feeley brings up the look comparison himself breaks the show's concept a bit. "Love Is Blind" lives from couples getting to know each other without eye contact and only facing each other eye-to-eye after the proposal. Talking about appearance doesn't really fit there – Feeley does it anyway.

A small name slip-up and a second game of hide-and-seek

Perrone follows up and asks Feeley if he knows Kelce's former reality show. Feeley answers with "Chasing Travis" – Perrone corrects him immediately: The 2016 format was called "Catching Kelce".

Perrone also has a celebrity look-alike, but doesn't want to reveal who: "I get one too, but I'm not going to tell you who." Feeley guesses "Rosario Dawson?" – the 29-year-old nanny counters jokingly: "I feel like we're gonna look good together." Feeley's Instagram runs under fels_3310.

Why the Kelce comparison is especially relevant in 2026

Travis Kelce is no longer just a football player. He has been in a relationship with Taylor Swift since summer 2023 – and is thus regularly on the move in both worlds. The chronology of the relationship: Kelce tried unsuccessfully in summer 2023 to pass Swift his number on a friendship bracelet at the Kansas City stop of the Eras Tour. In August 2025, he proposed to her in his garden. In July, they celebrated their wedding at Madison Square Garden with around 1,000 guests. Kelce now also hosts the podcast "New Heights".

Patient Zero and the photos framing the report

The Feeley story falls in time with a release from Swift: On Tuesday she shared photos via Spotify showing Kelce behind the scenes of her music video for "Patient Zero". He stands smiling behind Swift, who is sitting in a director's chair – both in cream-white sweaters, his arms around her shoulders. The video itself premiered last month at the MTV VMAs 2026; Swift's friends Dakota Johnson and Colin Farrell appear in it.
