Wedding season’s end means that football season has begun for Kansas City Chiefs star tight end Travis Kelce.
After marrying the world’s biggest pop star in a celebrity-studded ceremony at Madison Square Garden earlier this month, Kelce was seen beginning his preseason program in Florida.
Cameras caught Kelce putting in the work in the Sunshine State alongside some friends as he begins to get in shape for the upcoming NFL season.
While his wife wasn’t spotted, Kelce was seen with a wedding band on as he left his workout.
Decked out in Nike gear from head to toe, Kelce carried a duffel bag in his right hand and a sports drink in his left.
It’s one of the first times Kelce has been publicly sighted since his wedding – with the pop star and the football icon hiding under umbrellas after a private flight.

Chiefs training camp begins in 12 days and Kelce is ensuring that he arrives in shape to prove doubters wrong following a reality check by his fellow pros.
Every offseason the NFL asks its stars to vote for the league’s top 100 players, with the results announced in the weeks leading up to training camp.
On Monday morning, Kelce was unveiled as the 79th best player in the NFL in a ruthless show of honesty from his fellow NFL stars.
Just 12 months ago, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end was ranked at No. 37. That means he’s plummeted a shocking 42 places in just a year.
It comes after Kelce and the Chiefs endured a miserable season in 2025 that saw them miss out on the playoffs entirely, having reached four of the previous five Super Bowls.
Kelce and the Chiefs made official their deal to bring the four-time All-Pro tight end back for a 14th season in March.
He had decided to shove off retirement for another year rather than end a superlative career that includes three Super Bowl rings with a 6-11 record last season.
The one-year deal for Kelce is worth $12million with incentives that could push the total to $15m.

‘You always need to take a step back, breathe and let the emotions of the season settle down and see where the body is,’ Kelce said during an appearance on ‘The Pat McAfee Show’ after the deal was announced.
‘Man, I’m still in love with this game. I still love going to work, putting on the pads, grinding it out and just playing the game.’
Kelce had indicated as far back as the NFL scouting combine that he wanted to play for Kansas City if he returned.
‘My best opportunity was playing for the Chiefs yet again and running this thing back,’ Kelce said. ‘There’s a lot of pieces in Kansas City that I just absolutely love and I can´t wait to get back in the building with them.’
