Travis Kelce is stepping back into his football era! The Kansas City Chiefs tight end, 34,
has finally headed to training camp in Missouri after a whirlwind summer with pop superstar Taylor Swift, also 34.
Kelce attended several of Swift’s international Eras Tour stops, and the couple also enjoyed vacations in the Bahamas and Italy this year.
The busy summer, filled with concerts and romantic getaways, has kept Kelce in the spotlight both on and off the field.
According to the NFL team’s official website, the open practices at Missouri Western State University in St. Joseph run from Sunday, July 21, to Thursday, Aug. 15. This marks the beginning of an exciting period for the Chiefs as they prepare for the upcoming season.
The Chiefs’ first preseason game will be against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Saturday, Aug. 10, and the team will begin its regular season on Thursday, Sept. 5, with a game against the Baltimore Ravens. This season is particularly significant for Kelce and his teammates, who are aiming for a three-peat after winning their second consecutive Super Bowl in February. Their victory over the San Francisco 49ers, with a score of 25-22, made the 2024 Super Bowl the most-watched telecast in U.S. history, attracting over 123 million viewers.
Kelce immediately declared his goal of securing a third Super Bowl win during the Vince Lombardi trophy ceremony, stating, “The goal [has] always been to get three. Believe it baby, we’re gonna be here next year.” He reiterated this sentiment on his New Heights podcast with his brother Jason Kelce in March, confidently asserting, “I’m gonna win another Super Bowl. Just some of the things we like to say around here ‘cause it’s possible.”
While Swift managed to attend 13 of Kelce’s games last season, the two made the most of their summer together. In addition to Kelce attending her worldwide Eras Tour 14 times, the couple’s vacation highlights included a trip to the Bahamas in March and a romantic getaway to Italy in May.
Aside from his football career, Kelce has ventured into new business opportunities, including hosting the game show “Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity?” and filming the new Ryan Murphy series “Grotesquerie.”
Despite their hectic schedules, a source recently told PEOPLE, “They really are very, very happy together. They’re very serious about each other, and the relationship feels different for both of them.”
As Kelce returns to the field, fans eagerly anticipate another stellar season. His dedication to both his sport and his relationship with Swift continues to captivate audiences, making this an exciting time for the star athlete.
