Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson hits Travis Kelce with a cool reality check on how kids will flip his world

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, who is a proud father of three daughters, recently shared an enthusiastic message about the joys of parenthood on the "New Heights" podcast hosted by NFL brothers Travis and Jason Kelce. This episode had Johnson covering topics from wrestling to family life, but the discussion became personal when fatherhood came up.

Dwayne Johnson shares heartfelt fatherhood advice that hits Travis Kelce straight

Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson didn’t shy away from expressing how fatherhood has transformed him, using his own life with his daughters as an example. During his conversation with the Kelce brothers on the podcast, he stated that, “Like you, I’m a girl dad, I have three daughters.”Building on that, Johnson turned to Travis with encouragement, stating, “You’ll get there, Trav, soon. You’ll see the blessings … My babies, just like you Jason — and one day you’ll know, Trav — babies are everything.

That’s it.”These statements emphasize Johnson's perspective that children are the main focus. He further explained in that conversation that being a "girl dad" is "the greatest thing ever" a sentiment that was also shared in Men's Journal's article about the episode.Travis found Johnson's message to be a real eye-opener, showing that being a parent is more about joy than it is about stress. The actor-producer, who has starred in blockbusters like Moana 2, often gives credit to his family for helping him stay grounded amid his busy career, and this podcast moment reflects that.

Jason Kelce shares how fatherhood completely shifted his priorities

Jason Kelce, just coming out of retirement from the NFL after the 2023 season, jumped in to back up Johnson's points with his own honest take. As the chat continued on the podcast, Jason shared with his brother and Johnson, “It’s like, my entire hierarchy of priorities is completely shifted. It’s crazy. You’ll see, Trav, it’s crazy.” He added that the change hits "the moment the first one pops out," prompting Travis to laugh in agreement.

Jason's viewpoint comes from his practical experience of bringing up four young daughters in the Philadelphia suburbs, all while managing podcast tasks, attending Eagles alumni events, and spending time with family.His insights painted a clear picture of how being a dad changes everything, putting even Super Bowl triumphs in the background, for the once wild center. This dialogue, recorded in the episode's YouTube upload, emphasized the brothers' relationship: Jason as the knowledgeable dad offering guidance, and Travis as the keen student.

Taylor Swift reveals her desire to become a mom through her new track

Although Travis hasn't shared his thoughts on fatherhood during the podcast, his fiancée has incorporated them into her artwork and interviews. On October 3, 2025, while appearing on Heart FM Breakfast with hosts Jamie Theakston and Emma Bunton to promote The Life of a Showgirl, Swift disclosed that the song "Wi$h Li$t" expresses her wish to be a mom.She talked about the song as imagining a life with Travis, featuring lines such as, “I just want you, uh, Have a couple kids, got the whole block lookin' like you, We tell the world to leave us the fuck alone, And they do, wow, Got me dreamin' 'bout a driveway with a basketball hoop, Boss up, settle down, got a wish (wish) list (list)”.Swift tackled fan worries directly three days later, on October 6, in a BBC Radio 2 chat with host Scott Mills. When Scott brought up the speculation that The Life of a Showgirl could be her last album because of marriage and kids, she responded, "What? No," dismissing it, “a shockingly offensive thing to say.”She clarified to Mills, “It’s not why people get married. So that they can quit their job,” and added, “Oh, I know they love to panic sometimes...”

Regarding Travis, she gushed, “I love the person that I am with because he loves what I do and he loves how much I am fulfilled by making art and making music.”Swift pointed out their shared passions, noting, “We both, as a living, as a job, as a passion, perform for three and a half hours in NFL stadiums. We both do three and a half hour shows to entertain people.”Being a dad isn’t just a shift in life—it’s a complete game-changer. From Dwayne Johnson’s touching reality check to Jason Kelce’s real-life experiences, and even Taylor Swift’s dreams reflected in her music, one thing stands out: kids turn your world upside down like nothing else. It’s pure joy, it’s total chaos, and it’s all the moments in between.Also Read: Backup kicker Jake Moody becomes unexpected hero as Chicago Bears dominate Washington Commanders early
