Travis Kelce's mom, Donna Kelce, subtly shared her reaction to his new photos with Taylor Swift.
Newsweek reached out to Donna Kelce's representative via email for comment on Monday.
The Context
Travis Kelce, who is a tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, and Swift, his billionaire pop star girlfriend, first sparked dating rumors back in July 2023 when he attended one of her Eras Tour stops in Kansas City, Missouri. Later that year, Swift was spotted in the crowd at several of his football games, and they went public with their relationship in October 2023 at a Saturday Night Live after-party.
What To Know
On Sunday, Travis Kelce and his brother Jason Kelce's Instagram fan page, @kelcebrothers, posted a photo of the NFL star and Swift eating at a restaurant together.
"Taylor and Travis dining at Harry's in West Palm Beach, Florida last night," they captioned the photo.
At the time of publication, the post racked up more than 67,800 likes—and one of them was from Donna Kelce.

Previously, the former banker shared her support for Swift when she released her latest album The Tortured Poets Department.
"I listened to the whole album, and I listened to it all morning long when it was released. I was just very impressed," she told People in April 2024. "She is a very talented woman, and I think it is probably her best work."
The following month, Donna Kelce gave few details when discussing the "Cruel Summer" singer on The Martha Stewart Podcast.
"I know I was begged not to mention Taylor Swift, but I just want to say, you always look so great with her in the box when she was at the games with you," host Stewart said, referring to her attendance at Chiefs games. "She's lovely. So good luck with that because that is some situation."
The 72-year-old responded: "You never know. Time will tell, but I know that they're both friendly, they're both generous, they're both loving, they're both caring individuals."
Earlier this year, Donna Kelce posted a rare message about Swift via Instagram. Following the iHeartRadio Music Awards on March 17—where Swift scooped up several prizes—she was praised for sharing a list of what she won.
What People Are Saying
In the comments underneath @kelcebrothers' post, Swifties—the nickname given to Swift's fans—shared their excitement.
Instagram user esterjgc wrote in a message with 518 likes: "Donna liked," alongside several smiling face with heart eyes emojis.
marvelswiftielover pointed out in a reply with 309 likes: "Mama Donna liked this. I absolutely love how both families are with each other and Taylor and Travis."
tarahackman said in a note with 239 likes: "Lost in each other, as usual!"
kellythebaroness80 added: "They're so cute together."
xnitharax shared: "Love seeing them."
icelandjoy64 chimed in: "I hope they're discussing what number of children would make the ideal family size?"

Chris Pratt and Nick Offerman mourn death of 'Parks and Recreation' castmate Jonathan Joss
Chris Pratt and Nick Offerman paid tribute to their "Parks and Recreation" castmate Jonathan Joss following the actor's death this week. Joss was fatally shot in front of his San Antonio, Texas, home on Sunday by one of his neighbors, police said. He was 59. The actor had a recurring role as Chief Ken Hotate in the hit NBC sitcom. "Damn. RIP Jonathan. Always such a kind dude," Pratt, who had his breakthrough role as Andy Dwyer in the series, wrote on his Instagram story on Monday. "Sad to see. Prayers up. Hug your loved ones." Offerman, who starred in "Parks and Recreation" as Ron Swanson, told People magazine on Tuesday that he and other co-stars have been in contact since Joss' death. "The cast has been texting together about it all day and we're just heartbroken," Offerman said. "Jonathan was such a sweet guy and we loved having him as our Chief Ken Hotate. A terrible tragedy." "Sex and the City" star Cynthia Nixon, who was not on the sitcom, also paid her respects to Joss. She shared an image of the late actor on Instagram on Tuesday. "Was devastated to learn of the killing last night of the wonderfully talented actor and musician Jonathan Joss, who my family and I enjoyed so much in Parks and Recreation," she wrote. Nixon also repeated claims by Joss' husband that the actor was targeted because of his sexuality. "We will not let this stand," she said. The San Antonio Police Department said in a statement on Monday there was "no evidence" that Joss' killing was motivated by hate, but said the suspect would be charged accordingly "should any new evidence come to light." Conversations with Joss' neighbors and several police reports of prior incidents between Joss and the man arrested for his killing — Sigfredo Alvarez Ceja — paint a complicated picture of what led to the fatal shooting. Joss and Ceja were in a heated back and forth for years that was being mediated by a police crime prevention unit, according to police records and statements shared with NBC News. Ceja could not be reached for comment. The 56-year-old does not have a lawyer, according to the Bexar County District Clerk's Office. In addition to his role on "Parks and Recreation," Joss was also known for his role as John Redcorn in Fox's animated sitcom 'King of the Hill.' The animated series was rebooted and will premiere on Hulu in August, with Joss returning as Redcorn This article was originally published on
