Travis Kelce has been spotted for the first time since his very public whirlwind romance with pop star Taylor Swift.
The 33-year-old Kansas City Chiefs was spotted returning to his mansion on Tuesday, two days after watching him and his team win against the Chicago Bears at Arrowhead Stadium, located in Kansas City, Missouri.
The professional football player cut a casual figure in shorts, a long-sleeved T-shirt and an upside-down baseball hat as he entered his Kansas City home solo after practice.
Hours earlier, Taylor was seen boarding her private jet as she flew out of town after spending time with her new man.

Minutes after arriving home, the 6-foot-2 professional athlete had a tasty Uber Eats order delivered to his home for a post-workout meal.
Travis, who grew up in Ohio, and Taylor’s rumored romance was confirmed on Sunday – after she attended his game.
It’s not clear exactly when the two started seeing each other in person, but Travis had revealed on his New Heights podcast in July that he had hoped to introduce himself to Taylor when he attended one of her Eras Tour stops.
‘I was disappointed that she doesn’t talk before or after her shows because she has to save her voice for the 44 songs she sings, so I was a bit of a pain in the ass. I didn’t get to hand her one of the bracelets. I made it for her,” he said.
Taylor cemented the budding courtship at Sunday’s game when she arrived alone — aside from her usual bodyguards — to cheer on Travis from a box.
However, the sources explained to the station that the Lavender Haze singer’s previous encounters with the NFL star took place in a “very private setting” so as not to attract attention.
It seems like she’s now moving toward a more open relationship with Travis, though the sources also stressed that the two aren’t “officially” dating, even though things are clearly heating up between them.
In another sign that Kansas City Chiefs star Taylor is getting closer, she met his parents at Sunday’s game.
The multiple Grammy Award-winning artist sat next to Travis’ mother Donna Kelce in a luxury suite at Arrowhead Stadium; his father Ed was also present.
Donna and Taylor laughed and chatted during the game and cheered on Travis when he scored a touchdown.
Meeting parents for the first time is often stressful, but the sources shared that the first meeting went “really well,” and Taylor especially seems to have won over Donna, who called her a “nice person.”
Although she has now met Travis’ parents, Taylor has yet to meet his brother Jason Kelce, who plays for the Philadelphia Eagles and co-hosts the New Heights podcast with his sibling.
