Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce says "everyone" has been pronouncing his last name incorrectly for years, but his mother says he's wrong.

In a clip from a Barstool Sports podcast that was recently resurfaced on Twitter, Kelce, 31, said his name is pronounced "Kells," and not "Kel-see," as fans, announcers, and others have been saying since he joined the NFL in 2013.

But local news channel FOX 4 KC called up his mom to get confirmation - and she said it's pronounced "Kel-see."
