Travis Kelce has revealed that his celebrity crush, apart from his girlfriend Taylor Swift, is Wendy Peffercorn. The admission led to fans engaging in discussions on social media and listing similarities between her and the “Bad Blood” singer. The confession comes amid the couple’s well-deserved break from the public eye after a year full of activities. Moreover, this has prompted netizens to ask: Who is Wendy Peffercorn?
So, here’s everything fans need to know about the Kansas City Chiefs tight end’s celebrity crush.
Details on Wendy Peffercorn
The NFL star recently sat down with his brother Jason Kelce on the May 14 episode of their podcast.
While this chat on New Heights focused on many topics, one of them that attracted Swifties’ attention was Wendy Peffercorn. She is the character played by Marley Shelton in the 1993 movie, The Sandlot. Wendy is a lifeguard at the swimming pool in the San Fernando Valley and Chauncey Leopardi’s character, Squints’ romantic interest.
At the 20-minute mark of the episode, Jason stated that they would review The Sandlot next week. This is when Travis mentioned Wendy Peffercorn as one of the characters he would like to talk about. When his brother referred to her as “overrated,” he replied, “No, she was so hot!”
Check out the Kelce brother’s conversation below:
Jason went on to reason why Travis might’ve found the character hot and added, “I think she was just hot because she was the only woman at maturity they show the entire friggin’ movie besides the mom. If you’re comparing her to the catcher, yeah, of course she’s gonna be hot.” However, Taylor Swift’s boyfriend stood his ground and was convinced that Jason would love Wendy Peffercorn too.
After this episode aired, Swifties began finding similarities between Travis Kelce’s celebrity crush, Wendy Peffercorn, and the pop icon. Coincidentally, Marley Shelton’s character looks identical to Taylor Swift in one of the scenes in The Sandlot, where she wears a red swimsuit and dons bright red lipstick. Additionally, her blonde hair matches the “You Belong With Me” singer.
