And Rob thinks they will be just fine.

‘There are a lot of haters out there giving them a hard time, which is sad, but like Taylor says, “People throw rocks at things that shine.” And that is the truth. The haters will hate – and there are a lot of haters out there. But the focus should be on how happy Travis and Taylor are.’

What he likes most about Kelce is his down-to-earth nature.

He also admires Travis’ work ethic.

‘He worked his whole life for this, he has worked so hard and I think people forget that. They see his success, but they don’t realize how much effort was put in to get there.’

And he likes Patrick very much too as he explained the appeal: ‘He is in his 20s and he is handling so much. But there is so much maturity in him, he knows how to deal with things, it’s unusual. He is just a great guy. I admire his leadership, he has done a lot for the game.’

Riggle added: ‘Travis and Patrick really are good people.’

As far as making his Miller Lite commercial, Riggle said it was ‘cold, very cold, I didn’t have a shirt on!’

He added it took two people an hour and a half to pain his top on.
