“Love Is Blind” Contestant Compares Himself to Travis Kelce

Rob Feeley, a contestant on the current season of Netflix's "Love Is Blind," has drawn comparisons between himself and NFL player Travis Kelce, stating that he is frequently mistaken for the athlete. Feeley shared this anecdote with his date, Diana Perrone, while they were communicating from separate pods, unable to see each other.

"People stop me in the airport, and I’m like, ‘Dude, I’m not that dude,'" Feeley told Perrone, referencing the show's premise where contestants develop relationships before seeing one another. He also alluded to Kelce's past reality dating show, "Catching Kelce," which Perrone corrected as "Catching Kelce."

While Perrone did not reveal her own celebrity lookalike, she playfully teased that she has one, and acknowledged that Feeley's celebrity crushes are not an issue for her.

Feeley's comments arrive as new photos emerged of Kelce supporting Taylor Swift at her "Patient Zero" music video shoot, released on Spotify. The images show Kelce embracing Swift, with both dressed in matching off-white sweaters. Swift's music video, which premiered at the 2026 MTV Video Music Awards, features actors Dakota Johnson and Colin Farrell. Swift and Kelce began their relationship in the summer of 2023, reportedly after Kelce attempted to give Swift his phone number at one of her Eras Tour concerts. They announced their engagement in August 2025, followed by a large wedding ceremony at Madison Square Garden.
