In case you were unaware, Travis Kelce was also born in 1989, on Oct. 5 in his case. But the NFL player sharing a birth year with Taylor Swift was naturally one of the stats that Swifties seized on early when the singer showed up at her first Kansas City Chiefs game last fall , kicking off a new era for not just the two of them, their families and fandom, but for seemingly the entire sport of football .
Getting love-struck like that could go straight to a guy's head, but those who were already close to Travis—including his parents Ed Kelce and Donna Kelce , big brother Jason Kelce and Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes —have been pretty consistent in relaying that the rapt attention being paid to his relationship hasn't changed him. Though it did change his address, Travis having to move into a gated community in Kansas City after his previous yard proved a little too accessible to uninvited visitors. As for the man himself, however, "Travis has always been Travis," Patrick told reporters in January before the guys on the Chiefs won their third Super Bowl in five years.
"It's been cool to watch for me because he has all that attention, but he's just been himself the whole time." Which was , in fact, his teammate's game plan. "I've kind of been the same person my entire career," Travis told E! News at a Kelce Jam party in May.
"Just always trying to live and learn and get better as a person." Sounds like he has this thing where he gets older and does get wiser. Reflecting .
