Travis Kelce Throws Surprise Birthday Gathering Outside Chiefs’ Practice Facility, No Taylor Swift in Sight

Travis Kelce was spotted in a parking lot in Kansas City on Thursday, which also happened to be his 34th birthday.

The professional footballer cut a nonchalant figure as he climbed into his SUV before leaving the Kansas City Chiefs training facility in the company of his friends, although he eventually returned to his teammates after just an hour.

The tight end – who looked particularly somber as he stepped out later in the evening – kept it casual in a gray T-shirt and red sports shorts emblazoned with his team’s logo.

Kelce also wore a pair of bright white Nike socks and tri-color running shoes.

Absent from the impromptu birthday celebration was the athlete’s girlfriend, Taylor Swift.

The football star and the hitmaker, 33, were initially linked when he attended her performance at Arrowhead Stadium, which took place last July.

The professional athlete later revealed that he tried to give the Karma singer his phone number after the show, but was unable to do so.

Kelce previously had a long-term relationship with influencer Kayla Nicole, which lasted from 2017 to 2022.

Swift has been linked to numerous individuals in the past, and her most recent romance with actor Joe Alwyn lasted from 2016 until last April.

The tight end eventually managed to get in touch with the singer, a source said Entertainment tonight that the two saw each other casually.

Another insider said, “Travis has had a crush on Taylor for a while and is absolutely in love with her. He is a simple boy who is very funny, charismatic, relaxed and loves football.’

Kelce’s older brother Jason, who also plays in the NFL, also declined to publicly comment on his sibling’s relationship during several public appearances that took place last month.

Swift later attended a Chiefs game that took place on September 24, where she sat next to her alleged boyfriend’s mother, Donna.
