Travis Kelce is getting ready for another season with the Kansas City Chiefs — weeks after his and Taylor Swift‘s wedding.
Kelce, 36, was photographed returning to training in Florida on Thursday, July 16. He wore a black T-shirt and gray athletic shorts during the public outing, which came weeks after he got married to Swift, 36, in New York City.
The Chiefs open training camp on July 29 at Missouri Western State University in St. Joseph, Missouri.
“The bride and groom’s wedding ceremony looks have been created by Christian Dior Haute Couture. They are designed by Jonathan Anderson, Creative Director of Dior Women’s, Men’s and Haute Couture Collections, in close collaboration with the Bride and Groom,” read a July statement from Swift’s rep about the nuptials. “This is the designer’s first couture wedding dress for a world-renowned celebrity. Their shoes were custom made by Christian Louboutin and the bride wore Cartier jewelry.”
The statement continued: “Taylor & Travis did not have bridesmaids or groomsmen. Instead, her brother Austin Swift served as Taylor’s Man of Honor and Jason Kelce was Travis’ Best Man. The ceremony joined both families together and was officiated by friend Adam Sandler.”
Kelce confirmed in March that he would be returning for his 14th season with the Chiefs after months of speculation about his professional future. The athlete announced his decision on ESPN’s The Pat McAfee Show, saying, “Let’s go! Making another run at it, baby, and the Chiefs are making moves, Pat.”
At the time, Kelce credited Swift, 36, for her support.
“We share the same love for what we do, and we’ve had this … desire,” Kelce shared at the time. “I’m still in love with this game.”
Kelce noted that he knew “about midway through” the previous season that he would return.
“You know, I think I was taking Jason Kelce’s advice,” Travis explained on a March episode of the “New Heights” podcast, referencing his older brother. “I was taking the advice to take a step back, because you gotta let the emotions clear and you gotta have a clear head. I’ve made decisions based on emotions and they haven’t always played out the right way. So I think taking a step back, letting the emotions settle down, the frustrations from the season — of course I want to come back. Of course I don’t want to end my career not making the playoffs, not having one of the best years.”
The tight end recalled realizing “it still felt like I was hungry enough to get back at it.”
“Obviously there’s still a little bit of that grit and that emotion, you know, I f***ing hated the way that s*** ended last year,” he continued. “I want to make it right. And I want to get a chance at another f***ing Super Bowl.”
The Chiefs open the 2026 regular season on September 14, at home against the Denver Broncos.
