It’s appropriate that Heidi Gardner has a starring commercial role for Super Bowl LVIII, as she was born and raised in Kansas City. The KC Chiefs, led by the likes of Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce, are once again in the mix this year, competing for their second-straight championship and their third in five years.
The city’s local sports teams were a big part of Gardner’s life growing up, and she remains a stalwart fan of both the Chiefs and the Royals. “Some of my favorite memories as a kid were sitting at Mammo and Bampo’s house, eating Dilly Bars from the Dairy Queen nearby,” Gardner told Visit KC in 2020. “The windows would be open with a warm summer breeze and we would be watching a Royals game. It was the best.” Given how many celebrities get paychecks for Super Bowl commercials, it’s nice to see someone with a local connection get recognized.
