Justin Timberlake Weighs In With Sincere Opinion on Travis Kelce Amid Taylor Swift Romance
Travis Kelce and Justin Timberlake
From the looks of it, Justin Timberlake is all for Travis Kelce.
The "SexyBack" singer is the latest celebrity to weigh in (because who hasn't, at this point? He's everywhere!) on the pro athlete, offering his candid opinion based on experiences he's had with the star player.
During an appearance on The Tonight Show, which aired on Thursday, Jan. 25, host Jimmy Fallon and the former member of *NSYNC looked back on a golf invitational they attended together, where they were also joined by the Kansas City Chiefs tight end and his quarterback, Patrick Mahomes.

Video footage from part of the event was played, showcasing an overjoyed Kelce running up to Fallon and lifting him off the ground after the talk show host, who, admittedly, is not very good at the sport, accomplished a hole-in-one. The "Can't Stop the Feeling" crooner, also clearly elated at the feat, took off running around the green in sheer excitement.
Neither could stop laughing at what took place that day, with Timberlake continuing to explain how he was nearly tackled by the Catching Kelce alum, suffering neck pains "for, like, a week" after.
"I saw my life flash before my eyes," the singer admitted.
But it's not the recollection of the golf escapade that'll warm your heart—it's the Friends With Benefits actor's opinion of the footballer, as he seemingly provided an additional stamp of approval for Kelce and his already-displayed wholesome character traits.
"He's the best, by the way," Timberlake said, as Fallon cut in with, "He is one of the nicest–" but before he could even finish his own sentence, the pop artist did the honors, adding, "nicest guys ever."
In case you missed it, it wasn't long ago that Kelce made the surprising admission that Timberlake was actually the most famous contact number in his phone, though he did admit the pop icon likely wouldn't pick up, had he attempted to randomly give him a ring.
It seems the two are well-acquainted, though, having golfed together several times in the past, at the very least. "We text," the In Time actor responded, after Fallon asked if they "talk all the time."
"He's busy right now, I don't wanna bother him," Timberlake added.
And busy, indeed! Not only has Kelce's publicity skyrocketed since hard-launching his relationship with the "Lavender Haze" singer, the pressure is also on for his team, who aims to beat out the Baltimore Ravens during Sunday's NFL game, in hopes of securing a spot in this year's Super Bowl.
