With an estimated net worth of thirty million dollars, the two-time Super Bowl champion has no problem with financial matters. This is Travis Kelce's relationship with what is possibly the most renowned lady in the world, so why not make the most of it?
During the time that Travis was accompanying Taylor Swift on some of the European dates of her Eras Tour, fans and friends couldn't help but notice that the normally humble NFL star was taking full advantage of the circumstances.
“He’s traveling by private jet, wearing the occasional bling, buying designer suits and splurging on grooming like he’s Brad Pitt. He’s enjoying life to the fullest,” an unnamed source told Star Magazine of the 34-year-old Kansas City Chiefs tight end.
At a tour stop, Travis even had the opportunity to interact with members of the royal family, including Prince William and his two oldest children. According to reports, he is worth $30 million, which means that he is able to afford the extravagance.
However, the anonymous insider noted that that some of his former pals are turned off by the fact that Travis is blowing through wads of cash so quickly.
“He’s nothing like the guy they used to know. He used to be much more humble, which was part of his charm,” the informant told the entertainment news outlet.
Meanwhile, Travis stated that it was more difficult than usual for him to prepare himself for the forthcoming season due to the fact that he is getting older--he will turn 35 in October--and that he was following Taylor on tour worldwide over the offseason, as per ESPN.
"Last year was pretty taxing on my body. I've had more snaps than a lot of guys if not everybody in the NFL over the past five, six years, and I'm very prideful of that, but I know it has taken a toll on my body. So it's just making sure that my body's getting that rest and that ability to train harder and be able to withstand an entire 17-to-20-game season,” the NFL legend said after the Kansas City Chiefs finished a training camp practice at Missouri Western State University on Saturday.
A pair of tight ends were acquired by the Chiefs during the offseason. Jared Wiley was selected by the Chiefs in the fourth round, and Irv Smith was signed as a veteran free agency. Additionally, they bring back tight end Noah Gray, who finished the previous season ranked fourth on the Chiefs with 28 receptions.
It has not been made clear that the Chiefs want to lessen the role that Travis plays in the team. After almost a week of training camp, the athlete has not taken a single day off, and it does not appear that he intends to do so in the near future.
"This is my sanctuary. St. Joe, Year 12. That means I've spent just about an entire year of my life up here in the dorms. Everybody may say that is pretty grueling, but I enjoy it. There's something about this place to get you ready every single year, and I'm not going to lie, I got pretty excited as the time started counting down to get out here and get this thing rolling,” Travis said.
"This is where it all starts. You can say it starts in the offseason, and yeah, you want to get that foundation set in the offseason of the leadership and the mentality and things like that. But at the end of the day, this is where you really find out what the team is made of, how you sharpen the iron, how your guys practice your practice habits, the attention to detail, and nobody does it better than Coach [Andy] Reid,” the boyfriend of Taylor went on.
A number of personal trainers are amongTravis’ clients, and he has been quoted as saying, "I've got guys all over the place." With that being said, he stated that he has not made significant adjustments to his offseason preparation since the beginning of his career.
"Over every single season you find ways to get better at what works for you, [eliminate] what doesn't, and you just want to amp it up every single year so that you keep finding ways to kind of climb that staircase of success. I would say I'm doing some things differently but nothing really in the grand scheme of things. Just putting my nose to the grinder,” Travis stated.
