Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce's other Chiefs teammates spoiled him on Christmas
Kelce's $6 million mansion was broken into by thieves in October and several items were stolen.
Inside, Kelce found jerseys belonging to NFL icons such as Tom Brady, Ray Lewis and Rob Gronkowski. The collection is expected to have cost $120,000.
“He opened the box and felt like a kid at Christmas,” a source said.
'They'll go straight to his man cave, where he loves to hang out. Those pieces are going to be very special to him. “Travis couldn’t stop thanking everyone.”
It's claimed that “everyone pitched in” to the idea and Travis' older brother Jason even called his contacts in Philadelphia to get a jersey of Eagles running back Saquon Barkley.
Kelce's close friend Patrick Mahomes also donated his own Chiefs jersey for the present.
Several NFL players have been assaulted in recent weeks. Mahomes was attacked on Oct. 6 and Kelce's property was broken into a day later, when the couple was playing for the Chiefs against the New Orleans Saints.
Kelce responded to the burglary by upgrading his home security system and adding reinforced locks amid a series of radical measures.
Earlier this month, Joe Burrow's Cincinnati home was broken into while he was playing for the Bengals in Dallas, about 1,000 miles away.
Kelce is delighted with the gift and wore a Santa hat at his press conference on Christmas Day.
Taylor Swift is reportedly ready to settle in Nashville next year to be close to Kelce.
The incident sparked further scrutiny when it emerged that police were called by Sports Illustrated swimsuit model Olivia Ponton, who was at the house, even as Burrow was believed to be dating Olivia Holzmacher.
“I feel like my privacy has been violated in more ways than one, and there is already so much more than I would like to share and that's all I have to say about it,” Burrow said.
Kelce, 35, has not commented publicly on the theft, while Mahomes made only a brief comment at a Chiefs news conference in November, saying, “It's frustrating, it's disappointing.”
'I can't go into too much detail because the investigation is still ongoing. Obviously it's something you don't want to happen to anyone, but least of all to yourself.
The shocking incident has not deterred his girlfriend Taylor Swift from staying with Kelce over the holidays, one of the busiest times of the year for him and the Chiefs as they seek a third straight Super Bowl win.
“She will go to Kansas City and stay there for some time over the next few weeks to be with Travis and show him love and support,” a source was quoted as saying. the sun.
'She wants to see another possible championship season for the Chiefs. Travis now has the busier schedule of the two.
“But she's happy that they're spending time together, dining well, relaxing and baking.” Christmas will be a special holiday for both of you.
The FBI continues to investigate and Kelce is said to be “upset and angry” about being robbed.
Kelce will miss the Chiefs' next game and enjoy some downtime with Swift before his final charge in the Super Bowl, according to reports.
The Chiefs just entered a much-needed mini-bye week after a hectic Christmas schedule that saw them play three games in the space of 10 days.
The last of those outings, a 29-10 Christmas Day win over the Steelers in Pittsburgh, saw them clinch the AFC's top playoff spot, meaning they'll receive a first-round bye and enjoy the advantage of playing at home throughout the postseason.
And with nothing left to play in the regular season, it seems likely that Kelce will be rested for next weekend's clash against the Denver Broncos and instead head to a romantic getaway with Swift in New York City.
Chiefs insider Pete Sweeney hinted at it while he was in the New day with the SSJ podcast on Friday, where he revealed that head coach Andy Reid is expected to leave out most of his key starters for that game.
“I think Andy finished the (Steelers) game and gave the guys some time to do what they wanted to do.” A tight end might be going to New York with his girlfriend, a quarterback might be hanging out with his kids. Who knows what everyone else is doing,” said Sweeney, who has spent more than a decade covering the team.
'But I think it's a good reset for these guys. All of these guys will practice next week, but I have a zero percent feeling that any major starter will play in this game.”
It looks like Kelce will miss the next Chiefs game and spend time with his famous girlfriend.
Kelce and the Chiefs clinched the first seed in the AFC playoffs with two games left in the regular season.
Swift, who has a $50 million apartment in the Tribeca area of New York, was able to enjoy Christmas this year after wrapping up her Eras World Tour on December 8, but still decided not to break her duck out of the house. for Wednesday's win over the Steelers.
The pop megastar, who hasn't attended a Chiefs road game this season, was nowhere to be seen as Kelce and Kansas City clinched the top playoff spot in Pittsburgh.
However, Travis' girlfriend was in Arrowhead for last Saturday's win over the Houston Texans and arrived at the stadium wearing a fluffy red jacket and black boots, along with a black fedora.
She returned to Kansas City amid speculation that she and Kelce are now engaged, after eagle-eyed Swifties claimed that a ring had been edited out of a certain photo from her recent Eras Tour party.
