Patrick Mahomes and his wife Brittany were among the stars who arrived in Kansas City for teammate and close friend Travis Kelce’s charity event on Saturday, but the quarterback’s attention was apparently elsewhere.
The Chiefs star showed his support for his teammate’s Kelce Car Jam and celebrated his 35th birthday over the weekend.
But Mahomes had another cause to support during Saturday night’s charity event.
The Kansas City Royals opened their ALDS series against the New York Yankees as playoff baseball returned to the Bronx.
And Kelce revealed that Mahomes, a huge Royals fan, was anxiously watching his Kansas City sports teammates during the charity event.

Mahomes and his wife Brittany attended the event to show their support for the Kelce Car Jam.
“We have Pat Mahomes in there somewhere.” Kelce said from the stage. “He’s glued to his Royals right now.”
While Kelce’s event was a success, the same cannot be said for the Royals. In a tense and dramatic thriller in New York, Kansas City suffered a 6-5 loss in the series opener.
Game 2 will be played in the Bronx on Monday night when Bobby Witt Jr. and company. He will hope to tie the series before returning to Kansas City.
Meanwhile, proceeds from the charity party will go to Kelce’s 87 & Running Foundation, which raises funds for children in Kansas City and Cleveland.
Patrick and Brittany were there to show their support at the second annual Kelce Car Jam, a display of fancy cars belonging to the Chiefs star and his friends.
The Chiefs quarterback is close friends with his tight end, while Brittany has formed a close bond with Kelce’s girlfriend, Taylor Swift, over the past year.
Kelce revealed that the quarterback was eagerly watching the Kansas City Royals.
The Royals ultimately lost 6-5 to the New York Yankees in the opening game of the ALDS.
The couple was greeted by dozens of fans as they arrived at the charity event in Kansas City.
Kelce and Mahomes will return to the field on Monday, when the Chiefs face the New Orleans Saints at Arrowhead Stadium.
It will be the first time Jason Kelce has called a game involving his younger brother since the former Eagles center joined ESPN as an NFL analyst.
Jason and his parents, Donna and Ed Kelce, arrived at the charity event shortly before Mahomes. Kansas City defensive end George Karlaftis was also seen at the Kelce Car Jam.
Travis’ older brother, Jason Kelce, flew out to support his brother at Saturday’s charity event.
Donna Kelce also appeared at her youngest son’s charity event in Kansas City.
Patrick and Brittany Mahomes arrived in a black Ferrari, but Kelce planned to show off the 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle he drove Swift around Kansas City last year.
“This year is the second year we’ve done a car show, basically a block party style event, that will showcase some of the best cars in town from the Fuel House, a fun car club here,” Kelce said.
‘And then I suppose there will be many others who are lined up. It will be fun. I should have my old ’70 Chevelle from school revved up and ready to rock. If not, I’ll take one of the other cars I have.
Kelce and Swift have been on several double dates, including last month’s US Open final, when the two couples watched Jannik Sinner beat Taylor Fritz in the men’s final at Flushing Meadows.
