Travis Kelce is back in football mode after his wedding to Taylor Swift, with Backgrid photos published by TMZ showing the Kansas City Chiefs tight end training in Florida on Thursday.
According to TMZ, the Florida session is the first time Kelce has been seen working out for the coming NFL season since he and Swift got married earlier this month at Madison Square Garden.
The photos show Kelce dressed in Nike gear, TMZ reported. He was also seen carrying a duffel bag and a sports drink, and the outlet said he appeared to be wearing his wedding band during the workout outing.
Back to work after a very public quiet spell
TMZ reported that Kelce and Swift have made only a few public appearances since their wedding. The outlet said the couple were seen at the wedding of one of Kelce’s NFL friends and later shielded themselves with umbrellas after arriving by private plane.
The newlyweds have also been tied to a new four-legged headline. TMZ reported this week that a fluffy dog was seen getting off Swift’s private jet when Kelce traveled to Florida. The outlet said the dog is believed to belong to the couple.
Kelce’s return to training comes with the NFL calendar closing in. TMZ reported that he is expected at Chiefs training camp in 12 days.
The timing gives the Florida workout a clear football angle: after the wedding at Madison Square Garden and a brief run of post-wedding sightings, Kelce has been photographed getting ready for his next season with Kansas City.
