Travis Kelce arrived for his first NFL preseason game since swapping vows with Taylor Swift - and his wedding band was there for all to see. The 36-year-old Kansas City Chiefs tight end player married billionaire singer Taylor in a lavish ceremony over the 4 July weekend.
The couple then embarked on an undercover honeymoon that reportedly involved decoy private jets heading off in different directions in order to keep a secret escape to the exclusive Yellowstone Club in Big Sky, Montana, following their nuptials. They then jetted back to their real lives, which include an impressive portfolio of properties in Kansas, New York City, Nashville, Rhode Island and Los Angeles.
The honeymoon period is now over, however, and Travis has been back at work training for the next American Football League season. And on Saturday, the Kansas City Chiefs took on the Los Angeles Rams in their first preseason matchup. The sporting event took place at Arrowhead Stadium in the Californian city, where it was bad news for Travis and his teammates as they were hammered 12-20.

Arriving at the stadium, however, Travis had looked calm and collected as he prepared to enter hit the playing field. He rocked up wearing an attention drawing black and light coloured tie-dye top and shorts, dark shades, and carrying a canned drink.
While he wore some bling-tastic accessories - including a gold watch and a gold chain bracelet - he had the noticeable addition of his wedding ring on his finger.
Fans have been kept suspiciously in the dark over the visuals and finer details of Travis and Taylor's wedding - despite the couple playing out their romance in a very public manner. They each attended the other's major sporting and singing events as their romance grew after meeting in 2023.

And their engagement was announced in lavish social media photographs which showed huge floral displays and full details of the romantic moment. The big day itself, in contrast, was held behind the fortified walls of Madison Square Gardens in New York City on 3 July.
The event had a star studded guest list - with Zoe Kravitz, Tom Hanks, Sir Paul McCartney and more attending to support the couple. Reports have revealed the entire event was filmed with the resultant footage said to be for the couple's personal use only.
There had been hopes among fans that the footage would be released as a documentary - but this has so far been denied.
Taylor and Travis have both kept a mysteriously silent account of their wedding day - but the singer's publicist did share some details from the wedding hours after the couple said "I do".
They said in a statement, per ELLE magazine: "The bride and groom’s wedding ceremony looks have been created by Christian Dior Haute Couture. They are designed by Jonathan Anderson, Creative Director of Dior Women’s, Men’s and Haute Couture Collections, in close collaboration with the Bride and Groom.
"This is the designer’s first couture wedding dress for a world-renowned celebrity. Their shoes were custom made by Christian Louboutin and the bride wore Cartier jewellery."
The statement continued: "Taylor and Travis did not have bridesmaids or groomsmen. Instead, her brother Austin Swift served as Taylor’s Man of Honor and Jason Kelce was Travis’s Best Man. The ceremony joined both families together and was officiated by friend Adam Sandler."
Some details that have emerged from the wedding have painted a less fun picture, however, with some reports suggested guests had to sit through vows that lasted forty minutes. And it has been reported that the guests were later served food from a buffet - while having no tables to dine at.
