Travis Kelce is confused why Jana Kramer is trying to drag his name through the mud by accusing him of having a drinking problem, multiple sources tell Page Six.
“He was taken aback as he’s never met her and is just living his life,” one insider says in response to Kramer’s recent “Whine Down” podcast episode in which the “One Tree Hill” alum, 40, said the Kansas City Chiefs tight end, 34, is “always drunk.”
Our sources emphatically deny that Kelce has a drinking issue, with a second insider pointing out exclusively to Page Six, “The guy is under a microscope, basically being watched everywhere he goes.
“Of course you’re going to see him drinking. He’s being watched everywhere he goes.”

The source adds that if the pro athlete indeed had a drinking problem, it would be very hard to hide given his notoriety.
“It’s not like he’s passed out somewhere,” the insider explains. “If he was passed out somewhere, I would totally understand, but that’s not the case whatsoever.”
The source says Kelce is just a “normal human being” who is “doing the same thing” as everyone else, except “they’re not in the public eye.”

We’re also told that the three-time Super Bowl champ is “in training right now” in preparation for the upcoming NFL season, so “if he was drunk, it would be a bigger problem.”
In April, Kelce turned heads when he chugged a beer at his honorary college graduation during the live show for his and brother Jason Kelce’s podcast, “New Heights.”
However, Jason, 36, later came to his younger brother’s defense, highlighting the fact that the light-hearted event wasn’t an actual graduation and the siblings were there to raise money for student athletes.

Sources close to Travis conclude that Kramer, for her part, is just following her usual modus operandi of attaching herself to someone who is more famous than she for headlines. A source also told TMZ that Kelce thinks the podcaster was just “clout-chasing.”
“This is what Jana Kramer does,” one insider says. “She latches onto people to get attention.”
Page Six has reached out to Travis and Kramer’s reps for comment but did not immediately hear back.
The mother of two has also not responded to the backlash she’s received for calling out Travis or claiming that the sports superstar is a bad influence on his girlfriend, Taylor Swift. (Kramer also said on her podcast that the Grammy winner is “drinking more now” since she began dating Travis.)

However, her silence has not stopped Swifties from coming to both the pop star and her beau’s defense.
“Someone who is on their FOURTH marriage shouldn’t be taking about Taylor & Travis’ relationship especially judging it based on short clips at SOCIAL EVENTS,” one fan wrote.
Another added, “The things you said about Travis and Taylor were uncalled for and none of your business. Imagine talking about him and attention when you used their names to make headlines. Talking about his drinking was low and just plain nasty. Do better since you are always preaching about it.”
