Travis Kelce Introduces His New Dog in Tommy Hilfiger Campaign

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce has introduced his new canine companion in Tommy Hilfiger’s Fall 2026 campaign.

The 36-year-old NFL star appears in a campaign video filmed at New York City’s Plaza Hotel alongside Gigi Hadid, Frances Tiafoe and Carmelo Anthony. But one of his co-stars has attracted particular attention: a fluffy white Samoyed.

PEOPLE confirmed that the dog belongs to Kelce and marks the first time the pet has appeared publicly with the athlete. According to Forbes, the dog is female. The American Kennel Club describes Samoyeds as intelligent, social and playful dogs that enjoy attention.

In the campaign video, Kelce enters a Plaza Hotel room to drop off his bags and is greeted by the dog, who later cuddles with him on the couch. The video features Ace Frehley’s cover of “New York Groove.”

“Tommy brought us into his world at The Plaza for this, and it doesn’t get more classic New York than that,” Kelce said in a statement. “There’s a magic to this city, and I love that you never know who or what’s around the corner.”

Speculation that Kelce had adopted a dog began earlier in 2026 after social media footage appeared to show a fluffy white dog leaving one of Taylor Swift’s vehicles. Rumors grew after Kelce and Swift’s July 12 wedding, when he was photographed traveling with a similar-looking dog.

The new addition brings the couple’s reported pet count to four. Swift, also 36, owns three cats: Meredith Grey, Olivia Benson and Benjamin Button.

Kelce is also preparing for the upcoming NFL season. The Chiefs will face the Denver Broncos in their first regular-season game at Arrowhead Stadium on Sept. 14. He is also set to return for the fifth season of the “New Heights” podcast with his brother, Jason Kelce, which premieres Sept. 2.
