Uncle Trav’s in town and he’s signing autographs — even for babies!
While visiting friend and retired NBA star Chandler Parsons, Travis Kelce made time to sign Parsons’ son’s cranial helmet.
“Uncle Trav’s in town!” Parsons’ wife, Haylee, wrote in her Instagram Story alongside an image of the NFL star cradling six-month-old Chrome Evan Parsons.
“Making cranial helmets cool!” the 31-year-old mom of two wrote alongside a video of the autograph session, in which Kelce carefully cradled Chrome’s head as he signed the helmet.
After writing his “87” jersey number, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end, 34, added “OG IN THE GAME” to complete the coveted collectible.

Kelce’s autograph session coincided with a day on the links with the former Dallas Mavericks player.
On Instagram, Parsons shared a hilarious moment from the golf course in which he and others blared his girlfriend Taylor Swift’s song “Bad Blood” in an attempt to distract the Super Bowl champion from his game.
But after Kelce teed off, and the ball landed, he looked to be happy with the result.

His friends laughed at their misguided effort while the athlete smiled and sang along with his girlfriend’s song.

“@killatrav cannot be rattled,” Parsons, 35, captioned the Story.
Kelce is also seemingly enjoying his off-season — and his time off with Swift.
After a “much-needed” trip to the Bahamas, the two were seen at Nobu in Malibu, California earlier this week — all of which followed their recent trips to Australia and Singapore as Swift continues the international leg of her Eras Tour.
“They vacationed in the Bahamas for several days,” a source told PEOPLE. “It was a much-needed break for both of them. They very much enjoyed it. They are so happy together.”
