Travis Kelce skips Chiefs training as NFL star chooses to stay in Florida after wedding with Taylor Swift
Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce isn't ready to leave the southern United States just yet - despite the beginning of optional team activities (OTAs) back in Missouri.
Kelce, who is set to begin his 13th NFL season this year, did not return to Kansas City to join the rest of his teammates as OTAs began on Tuesday.
Instead, he was spotted in Miami arriving at a gym sporting a white ballcap, a grey t-shirt and shorts, and flip flops while carrying a black-and-white patterned bag.
Kelce has been spending plenty of time in Florida in recent weeks as he prepares for the upcoming campaign.
It also comes one year after he received plenty of flak for spending much of his offseason following girlfriend Taylor Swift around the world or living his life doing things other than football - such as hosting episodes of game shows.
Kelce has tried rectifying that by spending his offseason in Miami and dedicating himself to getting in shape to play for the 2025 season.
On Monday, Kelce was seen out enjoying himself at some form of golfing event.
Kelce was seen posing for a photo with former Carolina Panthers and Chicago Bears tight end Greg Olsen at the Kiawah Island golf resort in South Carolina.
Over the weekend, Travis went to a family wedding and brought along his pop superstar girlfriend, Taylor Swift, as a date.
Swift gave guests the shock of a lifetime after joining her man as he celebrated his cousin, Tanner Corum, tying the knot at a barnhouse in Nashville on Friday.
The pop megastar Swift was seen wearing a stunning strapless blue floral patterned dress on the day, while Kelce opted for a black-and-white tweed shirt and brown pants at his cousin's wedding.
Footage emerged online of the celebrity super-couple enjoying the reception as they watched Tanner and his bride, Samantha Peck, share their first dance together.
And in new pictures from the wedding, Taylor can be seen cuddling up to Travis while sitting together at the reception.
The pair also posed for a snap with Ashton Corum, who is the sister of the groom.

Fans absolutely loved the photos of Swift and Kelce at the wedding, with a fan page dedicated to the NFL star sharing them on Instagram and writing: 'Cozy, low-key, and all smiles'.
Another commented: 'They look great together'.
'That's a happy beautiful couple right there,' said a third.
'This is the best picture I've seen yet!!' a fourth concluded.
While one even asked: 'Did Tay catch the bouquet??????'
Kelce and Swift's appearance at the wedding in Nashville came just a few days after their latest glitzy date night together.
Earlier this week the couple visited Buccan, a James Beard-nominated restaurant in Palm Beach, and were seen leaving the establishment hand-in-hand as they greeted fans before leaving in a black SUV.

The restaurant is located a short drive away from Kelce's $20million mansion in nearby Boca Raton.
A day after his date night with Taylor, Travis was seen was seen entering a workout facility in Palm Beach, Florida for a game of padel - the popular racket sport played on an enclosed court with walls.
The latter was seen wearing a maroon shirt, black mesh shorts, and a gray hat as he arrived to play some padel on Friday.
Swift and Kelce have been enjoying some down time together before the latter has to report to NFL training camp next month.
It's not clear if Kelce plans on skipping all of the Chiefs' OTAs or if he will eventually make his way up to join the team.

Gareth Bale consortium in bid to buy Cardiff
The 35-year-old former Real Madrid and Wales forward was understood to be part of a consortium that had conversations regarding a takeover of Plymouth earlier this week, along with several other clubs, but it appears they have now turned their attention to south Wales. The Athletic reports that the consortium sent current Bluebirds owner Vincent Tan a letter of intent last month, which included financial figures, but it was rejected. Bale is seeking to be the latest big sporting name to be associated with an EFL club. A general view of Cardiff City Stadium (Nigel French/PA) His former Real team-mate Luka Modric became an investor in and co-owner of Championship side Swansea in April, while ex-NFL quarterback Tom Brady has a minority stake in Birmingham. Cardiff declined to comment on Friday night. Bale retired from football in January 2023 at the age of 33. He won five Champions League titles with Real and is the men's all-time record goalscorer for Wales with 41 in 111 caps. He was linked with an emotional move to Cardiff, his hometown club, after leaving Madrid in 2022 but instead joined MLS side LAFC. Bale featured for Wales at the 2022 World Cup – their first appearance at the global finals since 1958 – and at the Euros in 2016 and 2020. Cardiff were relegated to League One last season and appointed Brian Barry-Murphy as their new manager this week.

Tom Brady rips an Eli Manning jersey apart in ultimate act of disrespect towards his former nemesis
Tom Brady brutally trolled his former rival Eli Manning on Friday by ripping his New York Giants jersey in half. The seven-time Super Bowl champion made an appearance at Fanatics Fest in New York City, much to the delight of the thousands of fans in attendance. Brady spoke to some of the crowd at Manhattan's Javits Center before then taking part in a WWE-style performance later on. The Fox commentator came out to the theme song of pro wrestler Cody Rhodes wearing sunglasses and carrying a WWE-style championship belt. But, as he made his way down to the walkway, Brady was presented with a Giants jersey that had 'Manning 10' on the back. The former New England Patriots quarterback then ripped the jersey in half in a playful dig at Manning. Brady's actions prompted Manning, who was watching on, to storm the stage and climb on his rival's back. Their rivalry dates back to their stellar NFL careers, when Manning and the Giants were able to briefly halt the Patriots' dominant run to beat them in two Super Bowls. The Giants stunned Bill Belichick's team to win 17-14 in Arizona in 2008, despite being heavy underdogs after Brady led his men to a perfect 16-0 regular season. Then, four years after, the Patriots were stunned by the Giants again when they were beaten 21-17 in Indianapolis. Manning was named Super Bowl MVP that year. Brady and Manning quickly regained their composure and were later pictured competing against each other in a baseball pitching contest.

NFL WAG Kristin Juszczyk put through grueling workout by husband Kyle
Couples who train together, stay together - that's if San Francisco 49ers star Kyle Juszczyk and wife Kristin are anything to go by. The fashion designer was put through her paces by her NFL beau Friday when she joined him in a grueling preseason workout. With the 2025 NFL season looming, the fullback began ramping up his preparation, taking to the field to run a series of drills and Kristin joined him for a 'dreaded 'come train with me"' day. Kristin, whose sports-inspired designs blew up after Taylor Swift wore one her custom puffer jackets to a Kansas City Chiefs game, shared a video to Instagram Friday showing her mimicking her husband's workouts to Survivor's 'Eye of the Tiger.' The entrepreneur, who married the Niner in 2019, copied Kyle as he tossed a medicine ball over his head and carried out a plank, crunches and sprints among other drills. On the whole, Kristin managed to hold her own, only occasionally losing her balance and failing to launch the weighted ball as far as her partner. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Kristin Juszczyk (@kristinjuszczyk) The fashion designer was captured mimicking her NFL beau's tough training regime Social media users were left impressed in the comment section, with one writing: 'Honestly crushed it.' 'He's not taking it easy on you at all lol,' another claimed, while a third added: 'Ok but you held your own during that workout- slaaaayed it!' The couple have endured a turbulent offseason, with Kyle, at one point, appearing likely to return to the Bay Area next season. Kyle was cut by the Niners in March following eight seasons with the team, only for San Francisco to sign him to a new contract just four days later. The 49ers had initially decided to cut Kyle, instead of paying him a $4.1m salary this season and up to an additional $500,000 in offseason workout and per-game roster bonuses. The team took on a $3.6m dead cap charge with the move but brought him back on a new two-year, $8million contract. He was also nearly cut last season but agreed to take a pay cut to stay in San Francisco. Juszczyk began his career with the Baltimore Ravens after they picked him in the fourth round of the 2013 NFL Draft. The 33-year-old was one of the first players signed after 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan and general manager John Lynch took over in 2017 and has been a key part of the offense since then thanks to his versatility. Kyle faced a turbulent offseason after being cut by the 49ers only to later sign a new deal In an era when few teams use fullbacks, Juszczyk has played about half the offensive snaps during his time with San Francisco and has made the Pro Bowl all eight seasons with the team and nine times overall. He was a first-team All-Pro in 2023 and second-teamer in 2024 after fullbacks were added back as a position for All-Pro the past two years. Juszczyk had 19 catches for 200 yards and two touchdowns last season, while also rushing for 26 yards and a touchdown. He has 184 catches for 1,895 yards and 13 touchdowns in eight seasons with the Niners, along with 237 yards rushing and six more touchdowns on the ground.
