EXCLUSIVE Travis Kelce spotted pumping iron in Florida without Taylor Swift as he tries to shake off his post Super Bowl dad bod
Two months ago, Swiftmania was sweeping the US and Taylor's boyfriend Travis Kelce was on top of the world set to complete an iconic Super Bowl three-peat with the Kansas City Chiefs.
But the tight end and his international superstar lover were forced into hiding after the dream came crashing down – with Swift even being booed on the big screen.
The couple have been keeping an incredibly low profile ever since, with sources saying they are dedicated to spending quality time together in the off-season away from prying eyes.
Now DailyMail.com can reveal that for the last three weeks Kelce, 34, has been hunkering down and trying to shake off a hint of a dad bod and get into the tip-top shape for what could be his final NFL season.
Exclusive photographs show the NFL player pumping iron with two of his close friends at Johnny O's gym in Boca Raton, Florida, on Wednesday, where he is expected to return after jetting off to Las Vegas for a golfing weekend.
He has been In Boca for the past three weeks, one insider told DailyMail.com.
'He's a committed professional athlete, that is why he is one of the best, a future Hall of Famer,' the source added.
Kelce appears to be going back to his roots after the crushing big game defeat by the Philadelphia Eagles in February, returning to the east coast to train with Andrew Spruill after choosing LA last year to prepare for what turned out to be his heartbreak season.
The Chiefs' star has been undergoing strength and conditioning training with Spruill in order to get back into peak physical condition, while also enjoying his second favorite sport - golf.
He was spotted lifting weights and doing light sprints in a workout that lasted around 40 minutes and was joined by his friend Ross Travis and personal chef Kumar Ferguson.
Ferguson has been cooking up a storm for the NFL player, posting dishes with stone crab, steak, yellowfish tuna and granola with yogurt.
Kelce first met Spruill, who grew up in Kansas, while training in Boca for the 2013 NFL Combine.
He has spent eight of his 12 NFL off seasons renting a house for two months in the chi-chi city to work with Spruill.
The coach told the Palm Beach Post in 2023 that he had met Swift, joking that he could help her maintain her performance stamina.
'I met her twice', he told the outlet. 'Maybe I can talk to her about her workout routine and see if she needs help.
'I read where she talked about it, the different things she does to work out. She has a workout routine where she runs on a treadmill and sprints while trying to sing her songs.'
Spruill, 40, was also quick to shut down any claims by pundits that partying with Swift was to blame for Kelce's lack of performance last season, instead blaming injuries.
'It's not the numbers we're used to seeing from him,' he added. 'It's combination of lot of different things. It's not just him getting old.
'I trust he'll be back, especially if he wants to keep playing at the age he is. He needs to get in the gym and make sure he's ready.'
It is unclear exactly where Kelce and his crew have been staying, flying under the radar until he was pictured going through football drills with two high school players and posing for pictures with them afterwards.
Jazz Lewis, the teenage son of Super Bowl-winning running back Jamal Lewis, received a special opportunity to work out with Kelce.
'He gave me some tips on how to run better, smoother routes – and, yeah, it was nice,' said Lewis who plays for Chamblee High School in Georgia.
The young wide receiver and one of his teammates had the chance to train up close and personal with Kelce, who was on hand with some precious advice on the day.
Lewis says he trained alongside Kelce thanks to his former coach Tony Villani, the speed and agility expert who works with some of the top players in the NFL today.
'I got to learn,' added Lewis.
Kelce's mom Donna is also currently on vacation in the Sunshine State, where she owns a condo in the tranquil Baldwin Park neighborhood of Orlando.
Fans of his New Heights podcast with brother Jason were quick to point out that Travis had developed a tan in their latest episode.
It wasn't clear where Travis recorded this week's show but the background was different from the usual setup he is surrounded by when he films during the NFL season from his mansion outside Kansas City.
Kelce and Swift enjoyed a ski trip to Montana in the last few weeks but have only been spotted in New York once over the last couple of months.
Anxious Swifties were quick to shut down rumors that the couple had been spending time together in the sunshine state, despite several alleged sightings of them at restaurants and golf courses.
The pair haven't been photographed together since March, when they were spotted entering the rear of a restaurant in NYC – in an apparent bid to fly under the radar.
Kelce appeared to return to his training after spending Easter weekend with Swift and her family at her Rhode Island mansion, jetting back to Florida on Monday.
After the Chiefs lost the Super Bowl to the Philadelphia Eagles in New Orleans, Kelce was on the brink of retiring from the NFL.
But after taking some time to consider his future, he announced on New Heights that he wasn't prepared to step away from the game he loves on such a low note.
Since then, it has been reported that Kelce wants to move away from the fame that has surrounded his life since going public with Swift in September 2023 and focus on what might be his final year in the NFL.

Travis Kelce reveals exactly how much weight he has lost after ditching Taylor Swift's pop tarts
Travis Kelce is going to return to Kansas City Chiefs practice next week an incredible 25 pounds lighter for the upcoming 2025 season. The three-time Super Bowl champion nearly retired in February after his team were blown away 40-22 by the Philadelphia Eagles - an emphatic scoreline that still flattered the Chiefs, they were that bad. After deciding against ending his career on such a low point, Kelce has been training hard in the offseason in Florida to get in the best shape possible. He missed the voluntary OTAs the Chiefs held this week to follow his own training plan and Daily Mail even exclusively reported earlier this year that he was cutting back on girlfriend Taylor Swift 's beloved home-made pop tarts to stay trim. 'The Chiefs knew that Kelce was going to be gone this week,' ESPN's Jeremy Fowler said on Saturday, before making the revelation about Kelce's weight. 'He is expected back for minicamp, he'll address the media and be back on the field, all that fun stuff. He will debut a bit of a slimmer look - he has told people close to him he has lost about 25 pounds this offseason. 'He played a little heavier in 2024, it was sort of a thing. He vowed to change it and he has. 'As we have talked about before, this could be the last dance here for him, mid-30s, still a productive player, they want to go to him on third down but declining a little bit. 'So he is trying to be slimmer and has gone hardcore this offseason to make it work in what could be his final season.' The Chiefs begin their bid to recapture the Lombardi trophy in Brazil on Setember 5 against divisional rival Los Angeles Chargers.

Kim Zolciak blasts ex Kroy Biermann with shock jewelry theft claim... after they're kicked out of mansion
Kim Zolciak didn't hold back when she recently laid into her ex-husband Kroy Biermann in a new interview. The 47-year-old former Real Housewives Of Atlanta claimed the 39-year-old former NFL player had gone nearly a decade without a job after his football career ended, and she went as far as to accuse him of 'stealing every piece of jewelry I've ever owned,' as well as items belong to her eldest daughter Brielle Biermann, whom he had adopted. has contacted a representative and attorney for Kroy Biermann to request comment but hasn't yet received a response. Kim made the shocking claims when she chatted with Kristin Cavallari earlier this year during a stop in Atlanta for her Honestly Cavallari: The Headline Tour series, which was broadcast on the latest episode of her podcast Let's Be Honest. The recording was released after obtained documents indicating that US Marshals visited Zolciak and Biermann's former home to clear it out after the new owners accused them of being on the premises beyond the agreed-upon date. The reality star tried to fight back against reports that her overspending and gambling had led to financial distress in her marriage during the event, which she claimed was the first time she was speaking openly about the messy dissolution of her marriage. 'First of all, I love when people tell me I spent all of Kroy's money,' Kim said, before claiming, 'I've made way more than Kroy. 'Kroy's last NFL season was in 2015, just so we're clear. We're in 2025, and he just got a job in March of 2024,' she said. 'I've worked my a** off to provide for my family and my children. This man has not paid a bill in this house in years,' she claimed. 'Even with a job, he hasn't paid a bill in this house in years. Not clothes for my children, not extracurricular, nothing.' In addition to accusing her ex of not working for years, she also claimed he had been stealing jewelry from her and her daughter Brielle, who is the product of a previous relationship. Zolciak claimed Biermann stole 'every piece' of jewelry she had ever owned, with the only exceptions being her engagement ring and earrings, 'because they were hidden in my bra.' She also accused her ex of stealing 20 of her 'most expensive handbags.' Although she previously claimed to have been keeping the family afloat with her income, she also said she had had to 'borrow money from girlfriends' and confirmed her daughters Brielle and Ariana Biermann's claims that she asked them for money, which she claimed was due to her ex stealing from her and 'emptying out' their home. Her second oldest daughter, Ariana — whom Biermann had also adopted — previously accused her parents of taking all the money she earned as an influencer and model beginning at 14, though she didn't single out any particular parent when she made the claim on her Bravo reality series Next Gen NYC, which follows the children of reality stars. While speaking to People earlier this month, Ariana reiterated that Zolciak had asked to borrow money from her, but she attributed it to the delayed payouts from the reality shows her mother had been starring on recently. 'My mom always pays me back though, but it's definitely gotten better. She's working really hard,' she said, suggesting that their relationship was still on solid footing. Zolciak pointed out that she had filmed multiple reality shows in the past few years as evidence that she was keeping the lights on for her family. She claimed that, after she told Biermann she planned to file for divorce, he responded, 'I will publicly destroy you. You'll never work again.' But she sounded a triumphant note and said her ex's alleged threats 'didn't work.' At the time, Zolciak noted that she had moved into a new house just 10 days earlier after moving out of the home she shared with Biermann. 'I feel safe enough to speak, and I just wanted to protect my children through this, so I remained quiet.' The release of the podcast episode happened just a day after reports emerged that she and Biermann were forced to leave their home for good by law enforcement. The divorcing couple's home was visited by United States Marshals in April to force the occupants to vacate the premises months after they sold the home, according to court documents obtained by The home's new owners initiated the process of having Zolciak and Biermann, removed from the house back in December. Representatives for Zolciak and Biermann didn't respond to request for comment. The documents indicate that after buying the home from the estranged couple, the new owners had agreed to temporarily allow them to continue living there by renting it out. The documents indicate that the home's new owners accused the reality stars of continuing to live on 'the premises over and beyond the term for which they rented to them.' The new owners also said that the exes had already been served papers ordering them to leave their former home. However, Zolciak and Biermann didn't respond after multiple court filings by the new owners ordering them to leave, which led to US Marshals dropping by the mansion on April 8. The newest filing says multiple deputy marshals were at the home, which is located near Atlanta, from 3:30 to 6:45 p.m., and they indicated that they 'ejected' someone from the premises. It was reported late last year that Zolciak had begun the process of moving out of the home ahead of a scheduled auction. Kroy filed to divorce Kim in October 2023. They managed to sell their house for $2.75M in February to avoid an auction. That was after dropping the asking price by $3M while it sat on the market for a year and a half Page Six previously reported that Zolciak hadn't moved far after taking up residence in a nearby rental with the four younger children she shares with Biermann: Kroy 'KJ' JR, 14; Kash, 12; and fraternal twins Kaia and Kane, 11. Zolciak also has two adult daughters from previous relationships who don't appear to have been living with their parents at the time: 28-year-old Brielle and 23-year-old Ariana, both of whom were adopted by Biermann. Earlier in June, Ariana accused her parents of taking all the money she made from modeling work and brand deals she scored as an influencer beginning as early as when she was 14. 'I was doing like three posts a week and you get paid astronomical [sic] to do a story or to do an Instagram post, and I made quite a bit of money,' she claimed on her Bravo reality series Next Gen NYC, which follows the children of reality stars. 'But, unfortunately, my parents took my money.' She said she discovered two years ago that the money was gone, though Ariana admitted that she didn't know how much she should have had, as her parents would have been responsible for taking care of financial matters when she was younger. Even more shocking was Ariana's claim that her mother Kim still asks her for money despite allegedly having used up everything she earned in her teens and early 20s. After months of bickering in court and repeatedly shaving down their asking price, the estranged couple finally managed to sell their mansion in February for $2.75 million. Although that was a significant profit on the $900,000 they originally paid for the home, which boasts 15,000 square feet, it was also $3 million less than they originally listed it for a year and a half earlier. In 2023, the home was reported to be in foreclosure, and Zolciak and Biermann were racing to sell the home before it went up for auction, which would likely have netted them far less money to pay off their reported debts. The visit from US Marshals earlier this year was only the latest in multiple incidents in which law enforcement were called to the property to break up disputes between the warring exes. Biermann filed to divorce the reality star in October 2023, and in subsequent months the two feuded over how to divide up the living areas as they continued to reside together in the home. The former Atlanta Falcons player accused his estranged wife of selling off their possessions without his approval, and he also alleged that she was spending wildly despite their dire financial straits.
