Introducing, Wendy!

Just a day after Travis Kelce debuted his and wife Taylor Swift’s dog in his new Tommy Hilfiger Fall 2026 campaign, the 36-year-old shared even more about the pup, including her adorable name, on the Wednesday, Sept. 2, season premiere of his and his brother Jason Kelce’s New Heights podcast.

Jason, 38, first dropped the name, saying, “I didn’t know that Wendy was out of the bag.”

“She is officially a picture dog,” Travis teased of his pooch. “We gotta get the line in her size. Unfortunately, she’s just got her fur on. We gotta work with Tommy on getting her some good clothes.”

The NFL star shared that he decided to “talk it over with Tay” when he suggested including Wendy in the photo shoot, but said the new dog mom was “all for it.”

“It’s kind of crazy how perfect she looks in the Tommy Hilfiger world,” Travis said of Wendy. “She matches the brand and the shoot and it was pretty easy to get her to jump on the couch and have some fun with us. But yeah, Wendy’s a model. She’s a model dog.”

He also shared that he and wife Swift have had their dog for quite some time, noting, “Little ‘ol Wendy’s a little over a year old now. We’ve had her for quite a while. Trying to keep it under wraps.”

Travis previously opened up about including his dog, a Samoyed, in the campaign, which was filmed back in April.

“Are you kidding me?” the Kansas City Chiefs tight end gushed about his dog to Vogue. “She lights up my day.”

When Hilfiger’s creative team was looking to cast a dog for the adorable cameo, Travis found himself becoming a show dad.

“We figured, why not her? She crushed it, and actually really fit into that Tommy aesthetic, too,” he added. “Those are some of my favorite shots.”

Rumors about the couple’s dog have been swirling for months after the pup was spotted getting out of one of Swift’s cars in March. Travis was then photographed traveling with his new pet shortly after his July 3 wedding to Swift, 36.

The couple are now believed to have four pets in total with Wendy joining the “I Knew It, I Knew You” singer’s three cats — Meredith Grey, Olivia Benson and Benjamin Button.
