Football tights protect their quarterback in the middle of NFL games, and few do it better than Travis Kelce.
Kelce has been the Kansas City Chiefs' best team since 2013, four years earlier Patrick Mahomes signed with the Missouri team as a quarterback.
“It is clear that I will come here at the beginning of this year [and] I'm still a rookie, so I'm going through the motions and trying to figure out the best way to fit in, and I think the first time I thought Travis and I were going to be connected was… [after] the fourth game of the preseason,” Mahomes recalled of Kelce’s“New Heights” podcast in December 2022, noting that Kelce happened to be partying in the “same place” as Mahomes and the other rookies, who invited the crew to join him.
Mahomes ultimately arrived late to the Chiefs' walk-through, as did Kelce. “I thought, 'Dope, I'm not the only one! Let's go, man,” Kelce joked. “At that moment I knew we were teammates.”
Mahomes and Kelce's bond blossomed off the NFL field as well — and extended to their respective romances. Mahomes and his wife, Brittany Matthewseven spent time with Kelce's love interest Taylor Swift early October 2023.
“The fact that Patrick and Travis are best friends makes things even better,” a source exclusively shared We weekly from the game day band of Swift and Matthews. “They are having a great time and love cheering on their men together.”
