This week, NFL player Travis Kelce and up-and-coming actor Barry Keoghan shared a backstage photo from a Justin Timberlake event, sparking an unusual pairing on the internet. Fans are enthralled and curious about this unexpected “meeting of the minds” between an award-nominated actor and a football tight end.

Travis Kelce and Barry Keoghan spotted together
The image, originally posted on Keoghan’s Instagram Stories, showcased the two celebrities posing together. Travis Kelce, sporting a patterned grey shirt and velour pants, throws up a rock-on sign. Keoghan, dressed casually in a beige tie-dye set and a baseball cap, offers a peace sign.
Keoghan, 31, and Travis Kelce, 34, are seen throwing up a peace sign and a rock on sign, respectively, as they pose for a selfie together at Timberlake’s event.
“When BK met TK 🙏🏻🙏🏻,” Keoghan captioned the photo below.
Kelce and Keoghan have been sighted in Los Angeles recently.
While the cause for their encounter is unknown, conjecture abounds. Fans were quick to notice the similarities between their ladies. Kelce has been dating music icon Taylor Swift since the summer of 2023, and Keoghan is said to be dating Sabrina Carpenter, one of Swift’s current Eras Tour opening acts. This has inspired fans to humorously refer to Kelce and Keoghan as the “first boyfriends of the Eras Tour.”
Adding to the surprise, the show itself was brimming with energy. Justin Timberlake’s Los Angeles gig included a surprise reunion with his former *NSYNC colleagues, which sent the audience into a frenzy. Kelce, a great Timberlake fan, seemed to have been enjoying the event alongside Keoghan.
The image has captured the attention of the internet, even though it doesn’t prove a friendship is on the rise. Social media fans are giddy with this surprising duo, with many expressing optimism for more exchanges or possibly a joint venture. Fans find amusement in the charming interplay that arises from the contrast between Keoghan’s more subdued manner and Kelce’s extravagant nature.
