Travis Kelce and dad Ed hang out in Florida amid Taylor Swift's romantic rendezvous with Chiefs star
Amid rumors of a proposal for marriage to pop superstar Taylor Swift, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce was seen enjoying a beautiful Florida day with his father.
Kelce, 35, was seen in the south Florida city of Boca Raton with his father Ed, appearing to be on a shopping spree earlier this week.
The younger Kelce was seen wearing a red ballcap, a white t-shirt, and colorful patterned shorts in the sunshine.
Meanwhile, Ed wore black shorts, a green 'Cleveland' t-shirt, a straw sunhat, and dark sunglasses.
As the pair exited the store they were visiting, they were seen getting inside a green Rolls-Royce Phantom.
Kelce was also seen alongside a friend on their excursion.
Kelce has been spending his offseason on the down-low as he gets ready for the upcoming 2025 campaign.
He's been down in Florida renting a lavish waterfront property valued in the tens of millions of dollars as he prepares for an intense training routine.
Last night, Kelce was seen enjoying a meal with Swift out in Miami after some pretty serious legal issues with her former best friend Blake Lively came to an end.
After Justin Baldoni withdrew the subpoenas of the singer and her law firm in his legal battle with Lively, Swift went out for a bite to eat with her NFL-star boyfriend at West Palm Beach restaurant Harry's.
MMA fighter Jose Andres Cortes shared a photo of the superstar couple tucked away inside a booth at the eatery, where TMZ claims they arrived at around 10pm for some late-night food.
An eye-witness revealed Taylor, wearing a floral-print off-the-shoulder sundress, and Travis, who opted for a stylish black-and-white shirt along with a black baseball cap, walked in hand-in-hand while being flanked by security guards.
They then sat down at a round table with a glass in their hands as the Eras Tour star reportedly enjoyed some white wine and Kelce sipped on a cocktail.
The pair have been keeping a relatively low profile by their standards since Kelce's crushing defeat at the Super Bowl back in February.
However, photos emerged earlier this month of Taylor and Travis on a family day out in Philadelphia as they broke their cover after months without being seen.
They were joined by multiple members of the Kelce family for a Mother's Day meal, including Travis' brother Jason and his wife Kylie, as well as their mom Donna.
After two pictures emerged of Travis and Taylor arriving at the restaurant, another snap surfaced of the latter in conversation with Kylie, who had her back to the camera.
But Swift has mainly been in the headlines of late after being dragged into the bitter legal war between her old pal Lively and her 'It Ends With Us' co-star Baldoni.
A bombshell legal letter earlier this month revealed the explosive alleged 'threats' that are believed to have shattered Blake and Taylor's 10-year friendship.
The court letter, submitted by Baldoni's legal team amid his dispute with Lively, claimed the actress tried to coerce Swift into siding with her publicly by threatening to leak years' worth of their private text messages.
The songstress fought back after she was dramatically subpoenaed in the case by Baldoni's legal team, only for that summoning to be withdrawn this week.
As for Kelce, he sparked controversy earlier this week when photos emerged of his extremely hairy back after a workout in Miami.
The Kansas City Chiefs legend is currently working hard in the offseason to prepare for what could be his last year in the NFL, and he has been holed up with his pals in Florida.
Earlier in the week he took part in a rigorous Miami workout, and photographers caught the moment he changed his shirt at the end of the session.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, a half-naked Kelce sent the internet into meltdown... and mainly for one reason: the carpet of hair covering his back and chest.
The man himself has regularly referenced his hairy body - which has even gained him the nickname 'The Big Yeti' - but fans were quick to mention his love life.
'Taylor Swift is okay with that?' one wrote on X, while another added: 'Travis Kelce is hairy as s***. I like a hairy man but sir.'
A third noted: 'Please, I don't want to see Travis Kelce's hairy back any more,' and one even joked: 'Wish I could unsee those pictures.'
Just this week on his New Heights podcast, Kelce joked that he was 'wearing two shirts', adding: 'I'm a furry son of a b****.'
Some fans, though, were fawning over the look, with one Swiftie calling his hairy back 'perfect just like he is.'
Another called him a 'sexy man' and said he shouldn't be embarrassed for his hairy appearance.

Gianni Infantino arrives at his moment but football's response is coming
Gianni Infantino doesn't tend to use notes, so his addresses at Friday's official dinner for the Club World Cup in Miami will likely be off the cuff. He does have a personal charm, which will be deployed to full effect as he greets the US political hierarchy. Infantino already knows many from his visits to Mar-a-Lago, just an hour away. As of Thursday evening, there were no firm plans to greet the less celebrated figures of the media, for the type of press conference he conducted on the eve of the 2022 World Cup. We can probably guess how Infantino 'feels', either way. The perma-smile in his excitable Instagram feed says enough. This is Infantino's moment. This is his tournament. There has never been a football competition so anchored to one man, in the way this Club World Cup is. Infantino's 'dream', to quote insiders, is being realised. This is what he has wanted since rising to president in 2016, after the US state investigations that ended the Sepp Blatter era. Fifa is not just back in the country a decade after that, but essentially in partnership with the Donald Trump administration. Infantino even dutifully dismissed any 'concerns' about ICE agents attending Club World Cup games to probe supporters. That informs an argument that the Republican government has made the US the least welcoming of any modern host to fans, but Fifa have little to say on this. 'I don't have any concerns about anything,' Infantino stated when asked about the security issue. Why would he? Infantino will no doubt feel like 'the king of soccer' right now, to quote his friend, Trump. Many in the game are eagerly awaiting what superlatives the US president will bestow on 'Johnny' this weekend, if only for the sketch-show element of it all. Elon Musk might have gone from Trump's side but Infantino is still there. Trump's words, however, are likely to deviate from a more common description in the game over the past few weeks. That is that Infantino certainly seems far more concerned with actually coming across as a 'king of soccer', than the president of all 211 football associations, who he is supposed to serve as a priority of his role. It certainly didn't look like that at his own federation's Congress in Paraguay, when the Fifa president arrived late - missing numerous official appointments - because he was in Saudi Arabia with Trump. That only made for the latest example of Infantino brazenness, in-keeping with many decisions for the staging of the Club World Cup, like how Lionel Messi's Inter Miami controversially qualified. Uefa president Aleksander Ceferin and his Executive Committee were so incensed by the disrespect in Paraguay that they staged a walk-out, albeit one that was walked back a few days later. They stated it was an 'isolated' protest, as sources privately insist they just didn't want a full-blown conflict between the two federations. Far more relevant might still have been Uefa's official statement on the day of Infantino's arrival, which is understood to have been crafted by more established figures in the confederation. Infantino was directly criticised for prioritising 'private political interests'. If nothing else, it is a weighty phrase to introduce to football's public record, especially since it directly comes from one of the major bodies. It also brings into the public domain what many senior figures have been saying in private. They maintain that what we are seeing is not just the evolution of the game due to market forces, but the conscious selling-off of football, to far greater forces. 'It's really the story of our time,' one source says. Large sections of Fifa, Uefa and the wider game are getting increasingly frustrated with how so many decisions are taken above their heads, affording little debate or input. The nexus of interests that the Club World Cup represents seems such a clear example. The idea might initially have been noble, but there has been considerable political agitation about its implementation. You only have to look at how the actual US Soccer federation has been completely sidelined, from both this and the 2026 World Cup. It was why the late arrival at Congress was so symbolic, not least because Fifa and the game are supposed to belong to the members, who represent fans and the amateur levels. And here were Trump and Saudi Arabia placed way above all that. As one source said, it's hard to imagine Infantino doing that to club owners. They're the figures he wants to be an important actor with now, having already developed an alliance with Real Madrid president Florentino Perez. As ever, it's impossible to divorce this from the absurd level of power that football's executive presidents are afforded, and how it can change people. Essentially random administrators - 'some guy', to quote many in the game - are elevated to a sphere they could never have imagined. The most remarkable thing is that this structure remained in place even after the 2015 upheaval. A joint statement by NGOs, academics, whistleblowers and supporters groups on that anniversary even argued it has got worse, stating 'Fifa is arguably more poorly governed today than a decade ago'. And yet some of this is about Infantino himself. He was supposed to be the great reformer, bringing a hands-off presidency, only to be even more hands on. While Infantino was seen as a highly competent general secretary at Uefa, the consensus is that there was always an ego there. The role has accelerated a change that would happen to most people. The wonder is whether this moment will bring everything too far. FairSquare already talk of how 'he's turned Fifa into an elite PR machine for authoritarian states'. The Club World Cup could even be construed as a medium-term alternative to the Champions League for the Saudi Pro League, that is a disruptor for the sport. Infantino meanwhile doesn't address these issues anywhere, other than meaningless doublespeak about how 'football will unite the world'. His most prominent media appearance in the build-up to the Club World Cup was with YouTuber IShowSpeed - where he managed to aggravate Cristiano Ronaldo's camp for revealing transfer tittle-tattle. The image is of a figure who 'just doesn't care', but concern is consequently growing in the game. Members of the Fifa Council are worried. A rump is growing in Europe, despite Uefa being seen as having 'bottled it' after the quick climbdown from the Paraguay statement. Even in England, senior football figures are trying to point all of this out to politicians, who are otherwise concerned whether Fifa will see the independent regulator as political interference. 'Gianni himself thinks he's in some triumvirate with Trump and Mohammed bin Salman,' one source says. They surely don't. He's subjecting himself to bigger powers. Other senior figures are beginning to consider challenging him for the 2027 elections, or even persuading people like Nasser Al-Khelaifi or Javier Tebas to be potential candidates. That's all for the future, though. Right now, this is the moment Infantino has waited for.

Taylor Swift's plans for 2025 NFL season revealed as she attends Stanley Cup Final with Travis Kelce
Taylor Swift is more excited than ever for the upcoming NFL season now that she has more time on her hands to jet around the country supporting Travis Kelce. The songstress will be free to follow Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs home and away in 2025 after wrapping up her worldwide Eras Tour, which prevented her from attending all road games last year other than the Super Bowl in New Orleans. This time around, however, she plans to cheer her Chiefs-star beau on from the stands a lot more regularly. 'Taylor is really looking forward to the upcoming NFL season. Not just because she loves supporting Travis, but because for the first full season since they started dating, she's not juggling a packed tour schedule,' a source is quoted as saying by PEOPLE. 'This fall will be completely different,' the insider continued. 'It's the first season where she's not constantly flying back and forth or working around an entire touring calendar.' Swift dominates headlines whenever she attends a Chiefs game, with the pop megastar seen at Arrowhead Stadium on several occasions since her and Kelce began dating in 2023. She did travel to a number of road games in her first season as a Kansas City WAG, before completing a mad dash from her latest Eras Tour show in Tokyo to Las Vegas to watch their Super Bowl win over the San Francisco 49ers. Yet last season Taylor was not seen at a single one of Travis' games away from Arrowhead, something that will be far easier in the upcoming campaign given she has no commitments of her own. 'The past two seasons were a whirlwind between performing across multiple countries, long flights, and trying to squeeze in alone time together wherever possible. It wasn't easy but they made it work,' the source added. Swift joined her man at the Stanley Cup Final in Florida on Thursday night as the Panthers locked horns with the Edmonton Oilers. They watched on as the hosts suffered a dramatic overtime defeat in Game 4 at Amerant Bank Arena, which tied the series at 2-2. As the hosts stormed into an early 3-0 lead, Taylor and Travis were seen celebrating in the stands as Kelce high-fived another member of the crowd. Yet during the third period, Swift sparked controversy when she was seen sitting next to hockey legend and Donald Trump ally Wayne Gretzky. It comes less than a month since Trump took a random shot at her when he bizarrely claimed on Truth Social that he is the reason she is 'no longer hot.' Liberals and Swift's legion of diehard fans were therefore not happy to see her in the company of a full-blown Trump ally on Thursday night. 'Ugh with a trumpster so disappointed,' one Swiftie wrote on X. Another posted: 'it's unfortunate he's a huge maga trumpie'. 'Would be great if taylor swift could stop associating with trump supporters actually,' said a third.

Taylor swift's wild comment to Travis exposed by lip reading expert
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have sent fans wild after being spotted enjoying each other's company at an ice hockey game in Florida this week Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce enjoyed a day out together at Amerant Bank Arena to watch an ice hockey game this week - and a lip-reader has pointed out that their conversation may point to something exciting in their future. The couple were attending a game between the Florida Panthers and the Edmonton Oilers and pictures from the event showed Travis in a red sweatshirt and cap, while Taylor wore a beige jacket with white heeled boots. A lip-reading expert, NJ Hickling, has claimed Travis could be seen telling Taylor: 'Yeah cos I'm big, they're quite good jackets. It'll be tailored, has a hat and everything.' Taylor is then seen to reply to her beau with: 'That's crazy' before sipping her drink. Travis then showed her something on his phone as Taylor said 'Oh wow' before Travis asked her 'do you want that?' to which she replied: 'You'd look like a movie star,' the lip reader claimed to MailOnline before the athlete said: 'That looks like the perfect one.' Fans were wondering if the comments made at the game could point to his future involvement in film projects. The NFL star already has a foot in the film industry, and is credited as a producer on the movie My Dead Friend Zoe, and an upcoming project simply labelled as the Untitled Jean-Michel Basquiat Documentary on IMDB. He told People that working as a producer on My Dead Friend Zoe was an "incredible experience'. Travis said he felt 'proud' to be part of the movie's team, adding: 'My hope is to continue working on meaningful projects like this — stories that entertain, inspire and make a real impact.' He is also credited as an actor on Loose Cannons, and played himself in the series Moonbase 8. Taylor has appeared in a slew of films and TV shows, including playing Audrey in The Lorax, Elaine in New Girl, Rosemary in The Giver, and Bombalurina in Cats. Last week, speculation over the couple's marital status began to rise after a wedding planner shared an Instagram story showing the behind-the-scenes details from the wedding of NFL player Cole Kmet. In one of the social media clips, fans spotted an envelope with calligraphy on the front addressing it to Taylor and Travis Kelce at table 13. Of course, this sent fans into meltdown, as 13 is known to be Taylor's favourite number. The couple have had a busy start to June, as they attended the wedding of Travis' cousin, Tanner Corum, who married Samantha Peck. Pictures from the day showed Taylor wearing a strapless blue floral dress with heels, while Travis wore a quarter-sleeved shirt and trousers. Earlier this year, Travis opened up about his relationship with the Shake It Off singer while appearing on The Stephen A Smith Show. He said that she was supportive of his sports career and was 'fully encouraging' him to 'enjoy playing this game'. He added: 'She loves coming to Arrowhead [Stadium] and coming to the games and cheering for me so I've got all the support in the world to keep chasing these dreams.' Travis continued on to say that he was happy to have 'that confidence and comfort off the field and all the support I could ever ask for in the stadium'.
