Taylor Swift’s fiancé Travis Kelce has made headlines with a new three-year contract to return to his American football team, the Kansas City Chiefs.
Rumours were rife that 36-year-old Kelce was contemplating retirement before deciding to return for his 14th season in the NFL. But on Monday, he arrived at the Chiefs’ home ground to put pen to paper on his new contract with the team.
Kelce signed a three-year, $54.7 million (£40.8 million) deal, according to the NFL Network. The report added that he will make $12 million (£8.95 million) guaranteed in 2026.
NFL fans were surprised to see a three-year contract on the table, given the fact that he contemplated retirement at the end of this most recent season and the one before.
Kelce is well known off the pitch for his relationship with Swift that started when Kelce attended the pop star’s Eras tour concert in Kansas City on 8 July, 2023.
The couple are currently engaged, with plans to marry in the summer of 2026. Reports indicate they aim to marry before Kelce starts back at NFL training camp in July.
He also stars alongside his brother Jason Kelce on their multiple award-winning podcast, New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce.
