Earlier this month, they were spotted at a Christmas party hosted by Zooey Deschanel, where producers and creators from major networks were present.
In August, Kelce reportedly met with ‘Curb Your Enthusiasm’ executive producer Jeff Schaffer to discuss a comedy project inspired by real-life events. According to a source, “He is talking to Jeff about a show similar to ‘Curb’ that would follow him around. He would be playing himself, but he wants to act.”
