The secret new life of Travis Kelce: in the midst of Taylor Swift’s Blake Lively ‘Exploitation’ drama, her boyfriend has his own cruel summer … for very different reasons

When Travis Kelce returns to the football field in September, this becomes the best version of the Kansas City Chiefs star we’ve ever seen.

That is, as long as Taylor Swift keeps his hands out of the cookie spot!

After walking back from the edge of retirement after the heartache of Super Bowl of February, Kelce, 35, laser is aimed at leading the leaders to glory in what will probably be his last season in the NFL.

In the summer of 2024 it was a completely different story.

After the Super Bowl Triumph against the San Francisco 49ers, it is fair to say that Kelce lived the big – enjoying the parties and other excesses that deserve a champion.

With the global tour of his superstar girlfriend in full stream, Kelce embraced the Jet-Setting-even member of Swift, 35, on stage during one of her sold-out London shows in June.

But when Hedonism was followed by a season that ended this year, some critics could not help, but asked if it had all been a distraction.

One thing is certain: those no -sayers do not have to be afraid of a repeat.

In the summer of 2024 it was a completely different story. After the Super Bowl Triumph against the San Francisco 49ers (photo), it is honest to say that Kelce lived the big – enjoying the parties and other excesses that deserve a champion.

For a source close to Kelce, the Daily Mail has exclusively revealed that the NFL star has a ‘cruel summer’ due to its own choice.

It means less drinking and even rejecting his favorite treats – Swift’s homemade pop tarts.

“Travis is planning to be in the best form of his life for this coming season,” the Insider told Daily Mail. ‘He will treat this as his last, as it could be very well.

“Sometimes he was not at his peak during the last campaign, physically. But he is a top athlete and although he did not have his best year, he comes with a Vendetta, a goal to be in the best form of his life and to play as a possessed man. ‘

The source continued: ‘Taylor is a great cook and she is really great in desserts. Travis does not have the most healthy diet in the world, but nowadays, while he may sneak in one of her pop tarts, it is not excess.

“And it’s the same when it comes to drinking. He did not party, he is getting ready for the season. If there are drinks in the neighborhood in the neighborhood, it will not stay away, but it is never a must with dinner or trips. Neither does he go on his porch and throws back a few. ‘

Of course, if the hard work pays – in the form of another Super Bowl win next year – it has all been worthwhile.

‘When they go back to the promised land, Than You will see him party, “said our insider.

And so far it seems that the hard transplant is the start of the show effect. Photos of Kelce and Swift enjoying a Mother’s Day lunch in Philadelphia On Sunday showed the NFL star with an unusually slender figure for the low season.

Then, on Monday, he only walked on the red carpet during an Amazon MGM studios in advance in New York, before he told reporters that he lost about 25 pounds.

The Daily Mail understands that he has been ‘training as a crazy’.

Van Kelce is said to spend so much time with both men that Swift has even become close to them. They lived the surprise ‘Era Tour’ birthday party at Kelce for his girlfriend threw last December.

Certainly, this sharp focus on fitness is made easier by the fact that Swift enjoys her own downtime, after the conclusion of her gigantic tour of 21 months, 149 show last year.

“They are just both decomprimers of that go-go-style of life and enjoy days together with as little stress as possible,” our Insider said.

Part of the offsean plan of Kelce was for him and quickly to stay away from the spotlights

“They get their own training sessions together, just like other pairs in love,” the source teased. “She finds him the most romantic man with whom she has ever been, and he is going to make her comfortable.”

The long period of silence has undoubtedly been welcome in the midst of the current saga with Kelce and Swift’s (former) best friends, Blake Lively and her husband Ryan Reynolds.

Until this year, Swift Lively, 37, had among her closest confidants. They own houses just a stone’s throw from each other in the trendy Tribeca district in New York, and Swift is Godmother of the three daughters of Lively.

But the mood has since been irreparable, with Swift is said to be ‘exploited’ and used by her one -off bestie.

Nobody was surprised then, in a show of solidarity, Kelce did not follow Ryan Reynolds on Instagram last month.
