What Is Travis Kelce Doing In His Off-Season?
While secretly joining the NBA would have been a cool way to spend time as Kelce prepares for potentially his last season in the NFL, the Chiefs star has been keeping a low-profile with his girlfriend Taylor Swift. The two have had a romantic getaway out the country and have been spending time with friends in Kansas City. Kelce even linked up with Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes to play some golf following their devastating 40-22 Super Bowl loss against the Philadelphia Eagles last month.
In the meantime, Kelce has also been looking for homes with Swift who he’s been dating since 2023. The couple is reportedly ready to head out of Kansas City and is looking to plant roots in Montana.
"They love Montana. No paparazzi, no pressure. Just mountains, good food, and close friends. It's their happy place, intimate, chill, and very off-the-grid," the source said per Yahoo Entertainment. "They were laughing all night. It was super relaxed. No bodyguards swarming, no glam squad — just friends having a great night out."
