Niecy Nash found it “easy” to flirt with Travis Kelce.
The actress, 54, stars alongside the NFL player, 35, in Ryan Murphy’s drama series “Grotesquerie,” which follows a detective and a nun tackling a series of heinous crimes.
Nash admitted Saturday that she was “born to flirt,” so she had no problem doing so on set with Kelce.
She told Us Weekly, “I was born to flirt, so that part is easy. The blessing about this particular show for an actor is that most of the characters play. Travis went from being a charming person who worked at the hospital to being [a] down-and-out-on-his-luck guy who has a mullet.”
Nash, who married singer Jessica Betts in 2020, also starred in Murphy’s “Monster” series, which followed the crimes of serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer.
She praised the “Glee” co-creator and explained that their working relationship is mostly based on the “foolishness” between the pair.
Nash said, “Ryan and I have a great relationship. It’s built on three things: love, respect and foolishness. The third one is really what keeps us going. But [my ‘Grotesquerie’ character] Lois went on a journey, and when you meet her, she’s at the height of her addiction. She is so close to her rock bottom.”
Meanwhile, Kelce is currently dating pop megastar Taylor Swift.
Showrunner Murphy recently noted that the “Anti-Hero” songstress, 34, has been “very supportive” when it comes to the sports star’s acting debut in the role of Ed Lachlan.
Murphy told E! News, “The only thing that [Travis and I] talked about was that she’s very supportive of him, and if he has an interest, she wanted him to try it. I was thrilled about that. I love her, too!”
