Travis Kelce is back on the football field after a busy off-season in Florida with teammates and girlfriend Taylor Swift.
Pictures of Travis at the mandatory minicamp at The University of Kansas Training Complex revealed he was back on his best form, and during a conversation with press later in the day, he denied reports that he had lost 25lbs.
“First of all, I never said that, don’t believe all you read on the internet guys, I never told anybody [that],” he laughed when it was the first question he was asked.
“I’m down some weight from the end of the season last year but each year is different. This year I got some time to really focus on some form running and some things early on in the offseason that I didn’t have time for last year, and I am certainly feeling good and I think it’ll pay off.”
He also shared that he was putting himself “in the best situation I can athletically, that’s going to pay off down the road in being a leader, [in] being ready for those moments”.

“I love coming in to work every single day,” he said. “I am getting older but I still feel I have a lot I can prove in this league so it was not a hard decision.”

This will always be number one in terms of business and my career.”
Travis has won three Super Bowl rings throughout his 13-year career with the Chiefs, and will be hoping for a fourth.

They also attended Travis’ cousin’s wedding in Knoxville, Tennessee, and enjoyed Mother’s Day in May in Philadelphia with Jason Kelce, his wife Kylie, and Jason and Travis’ mom Donna.
They were also invited, but did not attend, the wedding of Chicago Bears’ Cole Kmet, and his wedding planner had tongues wagging when she shared a snap of a name card that read: “Taylor and Travis Kelce”, hinting that the pair had wed.
But during a visit to a Florida hospital to see patients, Taylor broke her silence, calling Travis her “boyfriend” and not her “husband”.
