The two have helped bring three Super Bowl titles to Kansas City along with five AFC championships.
After their latest trip to the Super Bowl, which resulted in a loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, Mahomes and Kelce made some interesting moves off the field.
Kansas City's stars recently attended the "Big Slick," a charity event for Children's Mercy Hospital.
Donors participated in a silent auction, bidding on over 50 items and experiences, such as stunt driving school with "Jackass" movie star Johnny Knoxville and a self-care day with "Saturday Night Live" star Heidi Gardner.
At the conclusion of the event, it was revealed that Mahomes and Kelce helped raise just over $4.5 million in aid of Children's Mercy, per Joseph Hernandez.
The "Big Slick" charity event in Kansas City first began in 2010, hosted by movie stars Rob Riggle, Jason Sudeikis and Paul Rudd.

"Every dollar raised goes directly to Children's Mercy to advance Big Slick's goal of eradicating pediatric cancer," posted by the official site of the "Big Slick," revealing the foundation's mission statement.

Kelce is heading into his 13th season with the Kansas City Chiefs while Mahomes will be entering his ninth season in the NFL, having already been named a two-time MVP, two-time First Team All-Pro and six-time Pro Bowler.

‘Sometimes I scream in my sleep': Witness claims Diddy dangled her from 17th-story balcony
Bryana Bongolan testified that Sean 'Diddy' Combs dangled her over a 17th-story balcony before throwing her onto furniture, leaving her traumatised. Bongolan claimed she witnessed Combs throwing a knife at ex-partner Cassie Ventura amidst allegations of abuse. Combs, facing life imprisonment if convicted, denies charges of sex trafficking and racketeering linked to his alleged criminal enterprise. A woman told US jurors Wednesday that hip-hop mogul Sean 'Diddy' Combs dangled her over a 17th-story balcony before throwing her onto furniture in an attack that left her traumatised and bruised. Bryana Bongolan testified in the music icon's ongoing federal criminal trial in New York that she was staying over with her friend Casandra 'Cassie' Ventura - Combs' ex and a key trial witness who recently delivered searing testimony of abuse and coercion. While she was at Ventura's place, Combs burst into the apartment and seized Bongolan on the balcony. Bongolan, a designer, said Combs repeatedly shouted with expletives, 'You know what you did,' and she said she repeatedly told him she did not. The witness also recounted an incident when she saw Combs hurl a knife at Ventura, which Bongolan said Ventura then threw back at him. Bongolan told prosecutors she did not go to the police out of fear: 'I was just scared of Puff,' she told the court, using another nickname for Combs. But a defence lawyer for the musician, who faces racketeering and sex trafficking charges, cast Bongolan as a drug abuser and unreliable witness whose story was shifting. Bongolan is among dozens of people who have filed civil suits against Combs in recent years, legal action she told jurors she took 'because I wanted to seek justice for what happened to me on the balcony.' Bongolan, who remains friends with Ventura, says the incident left her with post-traumatic stress, including recurring night terrors and paranoia. She told jurors: 'Sometimes I scream in my sleep' Defence attorney Nicole Westmoreland bluntly indicated that Bongolan was lying and implied that the witness had compared notes with Ventura to get their stories straight as the two filed separate civil suits against Combs. Ventura alleged that she suffered harrowing abuse under Combs, her former on-and-off partner of more than a decade, opening the floodgates against the one-time music powerhouse when she first filed suit against him in November 2023. That suit was settled out of court in less than 24 hours. Westmoreland on Wednesday pushed the narrative that Bongolan's heavy drug use, including with Ventura, clouded her memories of the alleged events. Bongolan was testifying under an immunity order that protects her from incrimination if she speaks truthfully. She frequently responded to Westmoreland by saying she could not remember every detail - and the occasionally brusque defence questioning of her will continue Thursday morning. Afterwards, the prosecution is expected to call Jane - long-anticipated testimony from a woman who will speak under a pseudonym in relation to one of the sex trafficking charges against Combs. $100 000 in a paper bag Combs, 55, faces upwards of life in prison if convicted of crimes of sex trafficking and racketeering. Prosecutors say he ran a criminal enterprise of high-ranking employees and bodyguards who enforced his power with illicit acts, including kidnapping, bribery and arson. On Tuesday, a hotel security guard said he received $100 000 in a brown paper bag from Combs in exchange for now-infamous surveillance footage that showed the artist-entrepreneur violently kicking and dragging Ventura in a hotel. Jurors have repeatedly been shown the disturbing clip in open court. The security officer, Eddy Garcia, said he initially rebuffed an attempt by a Combs employee—Kristina Khorram, who has been described as the music heavyweight's 'right hand'—to obtain the video. After repeated calls, including from Combs himself, Garcia eventually agreed to sell the tape, with permission from his supervisor, who got a cut. ''Eddy, my angel, I knew you could help. I knew you could do it,'' Garcia recounted Combs telling him. Garcia - who was also speaking under an immunity order - testified that he signed a non-disclosure agreement. Last week, a former assistant speaking under the pseudonym Mia described violent acts Combs committed against her and also recalled many times that she saw him beat Ventura. Now in its fourth week of testimony, witnesses have included alleged victims, former high-ranking employees, as well as assistants and law enforcement officials. The trial in Manhattan is expected to last well into the summer.

Mom hailed as a ‘pro' after hauling her kids, 8 and 10, around Disney World — in a stroller: ‘She gave no f–ks'
A mom's gotta do what a mom's gotta do. How someone chooses to parent their children is a personal decision — but when you share on social media how you go about it, people are bound to share their ruthless opinions. That's what happened to a Massachusetts mom named Nicki Marie when she posted a TikTok video of herself pushing her two kids in a stroller while at Disney. No, these weren't toddlers getting wheeled around — they were grown kids — 8 and 10 years old, to be exact. 'When I got divorced, one of the first things I thought was, 'How will I do Disney with just me and two kids?'' Nicki Marie told in an interview. To find a solution to her problem, Nicki Marie brought her stroller — nicknamed 'Kim' into the mix. 'I'm trying to let down my guard so my kids see me having fun. I bring a stroller because I'm anticipating what could go wrong that day,' she said in the interview. Technically, no one has publicly shamed this mom's stroller using ways, so she's the one doing the teasing: 'I'm making fun of myself before you point it out to me,' the mom said. Despite poking fun at herself, she doesn't think too much about what other people think especially with her iconic voiceover choice in the video she shared, that said 'And she gave no f—s.' However, people online have mixed thoughts on this single mom's stroller-loving ways. Most were positive and in support of her smart tactic. 'We went to Disney for the first time in March. My boys are 8 & 9, kinda wish we would have done a stroller lol.' 'I fully support this. There is no way to make your kids walk these insane miles in the heat without taking a little water break in a shady stroller.' 'My husband and I are going next week, I'm just trying to figure out if I can have him push me in a stroller.' And of course, there were some haters — as expected. 'Absolutely not. My kids very rarely used a stroller and had no problem walking, including at Disney when they were 3. Hauling a stroller sucked.' 'None. Zero. After 30,000 steps and bell to bell, I'm not schlepping all the stuff and sleeping kids.'

Google Confirms Almost All Gmail Users Must Upgrade Accounts
Change your account now. Your email is under attack. You know this, of course, but Google has just confirmed that 61% of email users have been targeted by attacks. If that sounds alarming, the situation with text messaging is even worse, hitting almost all American phone users. Google warns that more than 60% of U.S. users saw 'an increase in scams over the past year,' with more than half 'personally experiencing a data breach.' While these numbers are 'far from surprising,' Google says, what is surprising is that almost all users are yet to upgrade accounts to make them safer and more secure. Most users, Google says, 'still rely on older sign-in methods like passwords and two-factor authentication (2FA),' despite the push to upgrade accounts to passkeys and social sign-ins, which uses authenticated platforms like 'Sign in with Google.' The situation is slightly more promising with younger users. 'Digitally-native Gen Z users are bypassing outdated security norms like passwords, opting for more advanced authentication tools.' This younger generation is 'more reliant on passkeys or social sign-ins,' albeit they're also more likely to reuse and less likely to change passwords. Google warns 'passwords are not only painful to maintain, but are also more prone to phishing and often leaked through data breaches.' And that's the real issue. 'It's important to use tools that automatically secure your account and protect you from scams,' Google tells users, and that means upgrading accounts now. Google says 'we want to move beyond passwords altogether, while keeping sign-ins as easy as possible.' That includes social sign ins, but mainly it means passkeys. 'Passkeys are phishing-resistant and can log you in simply with the method you use to unlock your device (like your fingerprint or face ID) — no password required.' Adding a passkey to your Google account also means 'you can rely on just your Google Account to log in to your favorite websites and apps — limiting the number of accounts you have to maintain.' Put more simply, because passkeys link to your hardware — primarily your phone, this secure device becomes a digital key for critical accounts. Microsoft has gone further than Google and is pushing for users to delete passwords altogether, given they present an account vulnerability if still in place. While you can't do that with your Google account today, you can avoid using your password and you can change 2FA to remove SMS texts and only use options linked to your devices — an authenticator apps or Google prompts. Upgrade your account today.
