Travis Kelce has commenced training in Florida, preparing for the upcoming NFL season with the Kansas City Chiefs. This development follows his confirmation in March that he would return for his 14th season with the team. Kelce was recently photographed in athletic wear, specifically a black T-shirt and grey shorts, during his training sessions.
His return to training comes less than two weeks after he and Taylor Swift were married. The couple exchanged vows on July 3 at Madison Square Garden, an event attended by an estimated 1,000 guests. The nuptials were described by Pat McAfee as a spectacular evening, bringing together the worlds of football, Hollywood, and Nashville.
Kelce’s Decision to Return
Kelce’s decision to forego retirement and return for another season with the Chiefs was announced during an appearance on The Pat McAfee Show. He expressed his continued love for the game and credited his now-wife, Taylor Swift, as an inspiration for his return. He stated, “Let’s go! Making another run at it, baby, and the Chiefs are making moves, Pat.”
The tight end’s last game was in mid-December 2025, when the Chiefs were eliminated from the playoffs after a loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. This marked the team’s first playoff elimination in a decade. His decision to return was made before the free agency period began, and he informed the Chiefs of his intentions on a Monday, according to reports at the time.
A source informed ESPN’s Adam Schefter that Kelce’s deal is valued at a minimum of $12 million, with a potential maximum value of $15 million. This financial detail was reported a day prior to Kelce’s public announcement regarding his return to the team.
Wedding Details and Celebrity Guests
The wedding ceremony for Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift took place at Madison Square Garden on July 3. The event was attended by numerous celebrity guests, including Ed Sheeran, Selena Gomez, Jennifer Lopez, Sabrina Carpenter, Brad Pitt, Tom Hanks, Bradley Cooper, Dakota Johnson, Seth Meyers, Jason Kelce, Kelsea Ballerini, Maren Morris, and Niecy Nash-Betts. Eric Stonestreet, a guest at the wedding, commented that the couple created an environment where they could experience a sense of normalcy.
Pat McAfee, who was also present at the wedding, shared his experience on his self-titled ESPN show on Monday, July 13. He described the nuptials as “the most spectacular evening I’ve ever been a part of,” highlighting the unique blend of the football world with Hollywood and Nashville.
The Kansas City Chiefs have also released photos showcasing various offseason activities of their players. These images included a shot of Madison Square Garden following the wedding of Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift. Other notable photos featured Patrick and Brittany Mahomes attending Argentina’s 3-0 victory over Algeria in Kansas City on June 17. The collection of photos also highlighted other Chiefs players engaging in personal milestones, such as engagements, marriages, and welcoming new children.
Additionally, the offseason photos included images of new starting running back Kenneth Walker III, who signed with the Chiefs in free agency after four seasons with the Seattle Seahawks. Walker, who is also the reigning Super Bowl MVP, was pictured working out as he prepares for his new chapter in the NFL.
