Travis Kelce, whose hopes of a three-peat at the Super Bowl were dashed in February, has a new place to call home this offseason. The Ohio native who plays tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs and is a University of Cincinnati alumnus already owns a $6 million mansion in Leawood, a suburb of Kansas City. This summer, Kelce is renting a home in Boca Raton, Florida, that's meant to be his "base of operations" this offseason, Athlon Sports reports, citing the Daily Mail. Advertisement Is pop superstar Taylor Swift joining Kelce at his new abode? Here's what to know.

Travis Kelce rents $20 million home in Florida for NFL offseason Kelce could be paying as much as $90,000 a month to live in the $20 million Boca Raton home, according to Zillow. Kelce's new place is in the exclusive Royal Palm Yacht & Country Club, Athlon Sports reports. The club features luxury amenities such as clay tennis courts, a full fitness center, five upscale restaurants, a private marina and yacht club, and a Jack Nicklaus Signature 18-hole golf course. But to play golf there, Kelce would need to spend another $210,000 for the membership initiation fee, per Athlon. How many houses does Travis Kelce own? Kelce's main home is a $6 million mansion in a gated community near Kansas City, according to Hello Magazine. Before upgrading, he lived in a seven-bedroom property in Kansas City's Briarcliff West neighborhood, which he bought for $995,000 in 2019. Advertisement Kelce also has strong ties to Florida. His mother, Donna Kelce, is a full-time Florida resident who owns a condo in the Baldwin Park area of Orlando with her high-profile sons Travis and Jason Kelce, who retired as center for the Philadelphia Eagles, in the Sunshine State. Records show that almost the entire Kelce family is on the deed, with the matriarch listed first and Travis and Jason as remaindermen. According to records, Donna Kelce purchased the condo in May 2019 for $355,000. Is Taylor Swift joining Travis Kelce in Florida? Yes. Athlon reports that Kelce made sure the home and community had 24/7 security before moving in. And Boca News Now reports that the power couple have been spotted around town. How many homes does Taylor Swift own? Swift, whose record-breaking Eras Tour wrapped up in December, owns several multimillion dollar properties across four states, according to sources like Architectural Digest and Business Insider. Those include: Advertisement A three-bedroom penthouse in Nashville, Tennessee. A $25 million Beverly Hills, California mansion. $17.75 million home in Westerly, Rhode Island. Two penthouses she combined into one large condo in New York City's Tribeca neighborhood. The Kelce family has connections to Ohio Donna grew up in Moreland Hills, outside of Cleveland, and attended Ohio University in Athens, where she earned a radio and television degree. She later earned a master's degree from Baldwin Wallace University. The Ohio native also worked for banking institutions in northeast Ohio. She wed her then-husband, Ed, in the 1970s, and together they had two boys, Jason and Travis. The brothers graduated from Cleveland Heights High School before playing college football at the University of Cincinnati. Donna and Ed divorced after being together for more than 20 years.

The best Greek white wines for £10 or less
Exhilarating, pithy, and full of refreshing mineral flavours, yet with a satisfying waxy richness, Santorini assyrtiko has become one of the world's great wines. Greatness, of course, always comes at a price. A few years ago, Santorini assyrtiko was still a supermarket buy. These days, it is so sought-after that, just as those of us on a budget might spend our summer holidays rummaging through Airbnbs in the Peloponnese (or in Wales, unless that's just me?) rather than floating around five-star infinity pools on an Aegean island, we need to hunt elsewhere for our Greek white fix. The clean, lemony taste of assyrtiko is in huge demand no matter where it's grown in Greece, but it is more affordable if you look beyond the tiny volcanic island of Santorini and across to the mainland. For instance, the grape thrives in the relative cool of the mountains of Macedonia, in northern Greece. This is a different destination, so don't expect a simulacrum of a Santorini assyrtiko: think more of the freshness of a lemon grove at dawn than of flashy intensity with honeyed backnotes. One very good and extremely well-priced example is Athlon Greek Assyrtiko 2024, Macedonia (12%, Aldi, £8.99). Here, the grape is blended with 15 per cent chardonnay, which calms the vibrant citrus of the assyrtiko and brings a slightly creamy texture. I'm guessing the chardonnay is really there in order to make the wine a bit cheaper, but it doesn't matter what the reason is because it works. I'd grill a piece of white fish and make a lemony new potato and spring onion salad or skordalia (Greek garlicky mashed potatoes with almonds) to eat with this. Crete is another good place to look, not just for assyrtiko but for a whole array of unusual, herbaceous whites made from indigenous grapes. It is the fifth largest island in the Mediterranean (there's a quiz question right there: Sicily is the biggest, I'll leave you to work out the rest), long (160 miles) and narrow, and the wineries are clustered in the centre, to the south of Knossos, and the north-west. Lyrarakis Assyrtiko 2024, Crete (13.5%), £13 or £12.50 in a mixed six (down to £10 in a mixed six from 3 to 30 June), Majestic Seek out the very good wines from Lyrarakis. Majestic has the Lyrarakis Assyrtiko 2024, Crete. I also like the Domaine Lyrarakis Psarades Dafni 2022, Crete, but it does seem to split a room. The grape is dafni and the wine is very herbaceous, with curious notes of bay and galangal. Domaine Lyrarakis Psarades Dafni 2022, Crete (12.5%), £11.95, The Wine Society A much easier Greek grape to fall in love with is malagousia, a beautiful white that combines a dewy freshness with fleeting richer notes, such as bergamot and guava, and a tantalising florality. Malagousia had all but died out until it was planted by Vangelis Gerovassiliou on a peninsula vineyard to the south of Thessaloniki, back in the '80s. The Gerovassiliou version is still the most impressive I have tasted, but at more than £20 (you can find it in independent wine merchants), it doesn't qualify for this 'more affordable' column (see Wines of the Week for a sub-£10 bottle). The final Greek grape to put on your radar is moschofilero, which is found in Mantinia in the Peloponnese. This pink-skinned variety makes dry wine with a heady rose fragrance, balanced by a keen and spicy edge, like lemon rind and pith with white pepper, which keeps the wine crisp. A last thought: while it may seem counter-intuitive to expect wines from a hot southern European climate to have luminosity and freshness, all these grapes achieve it. Now all we need is some sun, and perhaps a plate of olives, tomato and feta. Wines of the week

Pair of Ducks land with Justin Herbert, Los Angeles Chargers in new NFL mock draft
Pair of Ducks land with Justin Herbert, Los Angeles Chargers in new NFL mock draft Justin Herbert throwing a long touchdown pass to Tez Johnson would be a fun sight to see in Los Angeles. According to one mock draft from Athlon Sports, the Chargers will draft Johnson in the fourth round, giving Herbert some much-needed weaponry on the outside or in the slot. Johnson seems to be quite the mystery for these mock drafts. Some have Johnson going as high as the fourth round and some have him going undrafted. Whichever team manages to draft him or sign as a free agent is getting a quality receiver. But Johnson isn't the only Duck Athlon has going to Los Angeles to help Herbert, only this time on defense They have defensive lineman Jamaree Caldwell being drafted in the third round (86th overall). Athlon likes the Ducks' chances of being well-represented in the 2025 draft. The highest Oregon player Athlon has is defensive lineman Derrick Harmon, going as the 30th overall pick to Buffalo. This is their analysis. "This year's loaded class of interior defensive line prospects is a gift for the Bills, who need another impact player to line up next to Ed Oliver," writer Luke Easterling said. "Harmon was an absolute wrecking ball for the Ducks last season after transferring from Michigan State, and he could make an instant impact for a Super Bowl contender." A number of Ducks are projected to be selected next month, including offensive lineman Josh Conerly (New England, 38th overall), edge rusher Jordan Burch (Cleveland, 68th overall), linebacker Jeffrey Bassa (Detroit, 102nd overall), cornerback Jabbar Muhammad (New York Jets, 110th overall), tight end Terrance Ferguson (Miami, 116th overall) and offensive lineman Ajani Cornelius (Jacksonville, 126th overall).
