Travis Kelce Hangs with Friends on His 34th Birthday amid Rumored Taylor Swift Romance

The NFL star had a full day of practice Thursday, but fit in some time with friends as he celebrated another trip around the sun

Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce was all business on his 34th birthday.

The tight end spent most of the day at practice in Kansas City, prepping for the Chiefs' game on Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings, but he did carve out time to hang with a few friends. Kelce was spotted meeting up with a group in a parking lot at the team's facilities, Page Six reported, during lunchtime on Thursday.

The friends chatted in his car for about an hour before Kelce went back to practice, the outlet said.

Earlier that day, the two-time Super Bowl champ was also seen buying a pack of Dutch Masters cigars at a convenience store.

Kelce's low-key birthday celebrations in Kansas City came amid his rumored romance with Taylor Swift.

The singer has been seen at two of his games now — most recently alongside a slew of celebrity pals this past Sunday at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, as the Chiefs took on the New York Jets.

During the latest episode of the Chasin’ It with Trey Wingo and Chase Daniel podcast, Kelce was asked about the attention surrounding his rumored relationship with the “Anti-Hero” singer, and whether he expected the frenzy.

“I had no idea, man,” Kelce admitted to the hosts. “I had no idea. You can’t tell me that anybody else did either, but I can’t be mad at how it’s all played out. I’ll say that.”

The hosts joked after Kelce left the podcast that “hopefully people will know who he is now” since he’s established himself through a “recent series of events” with Swift.

Beyond the low-key birthday festivities and his rumored relationship with Swift, Kelce recently told PEOPLE he and the Chiefs are "motivated to be able to stay on top" as they look to repeat their Super Bowl victory this season. "I think every single week we're going to get everybody's best shot and we kind of earned that last year and earned that respect," he added.

"I always want to play everybody when they're at their best. And sure enough, I know we're going to be getting that week in, week out here in Kansas City."

This year is also looking quite different from Kelce's 33rd birthday. His celebrations a year earlier included a special appearance from actor Paul Rudd, facilitated by his brother Jason Kelce and their New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce podcast crew.

Kelce was thrilled with the surprise and said it was "awesome" to have the actor wish him a happy birthday during the podcast. Rudd, 54, a Kansas City Chiefs superfan, attended the team's Oct. 1 win over the New York Jets.
