Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce had a romantic date night in Los Angeles on Monday, dining at the popular Beverly Hills restaurant Funke, which was recently highlighted in a Netflix show.
Pop singer Taylor Swift and Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, both 34, were seen having dinner at a popular Italian restaurant known for attracting celebrities like Justin and Hailey Bieber.
The restaurant belongs to chef Evan Funke, who’s famous for his handmade pasta and was recently featured on the Netflix show, Chef’s Table.
The couple’s date provided a sweet look at their relationship as they continue planning their wedding, despite increasing speculation about what’s next for Kelce’s football career.
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce became a couple in the summer of 2023, and quickly became known as a high-profile pair. Taylor was often seen supporting Travis at his Kansas City Chiefs games, and he reciprocated by attending her Eras Tour concerts. Their relationship culminated in a surprise engagement announcement in August 2025.
Even though Kansas City didn’t win the Super Bowl and there’s been talk about Patrick and Brittany Mahomes’ future – including possible retirement and movie roles – they appeared relaxed and happy on a recent date, while still facing some big life choices.
Okay, so I just saw them! They were heading into the restaurant, and honestly, Taylor looked absolutely adorable. She had this huge blazer on – seriously, it was massive – and I swear it had to be Travis’s! It was like, totally swallowed her up, but in the cutest way possible. It just screamed ‘I raided my boyfriend’s closet!’ and I’m living for it. I need that blazer in my life!
Taylor Swift arrived at the Italian restaurant with her blonde hair styled straight and smooth. She smiled and walked confidently, showing off her legs in a short, white skirt.
Travis Kelce walked close behind her, looking sharp in a brown short-sleeved shirt. He occasionally seemed lost in thought as he followed her.
Later, they exited discreetly, quickly jumping into a waiting black SUV before speeding off.
This romantic getaway happens as Travis Kelce considers a major life choice: should he retire from football and focus on his relationship with Taylor Swift, or try for another Super Bowl win?
Everyone’s eager to hear directly from the Kansas City Chiefs and Travis Kelce, but a source says he hasn’t made a final decision yet. While nothing is certain, it now seems more probable he’ll play again in the 2026 season.
According to a source, if he were forced to decide right now, he would return. However, he won’t know his plans for sure for several weeks.
Honestly, he’s still figuring things out. It’s all very new, and he hasn’t fully landed on a decision yet. He needs some time to really think through what he wants, have some honest conversations with Taylor and his family, and just work through it all. It’s a journey, not a quick fix, you know?
Let’s be real, even if Travis Kelce hangs up his cleats, I don’t see him disappearing anytime soon! He’s got a natural charisma and a deep understanding of the game, so I’m predicting we’ll likely see him transition into a role as a sports analyst – sharing his insights with fans from a new perspective.
Kelce isn’t making this call alone – his mom Donna, 73, is sure to weigh in, per the insider.
‘She’s the type who gives her opinion even when no one is asking,’ a pal of Donna’s told the Mail.
But Donna is thrilled about the relationship and has kept her role small.
A friend shared that Taylor and Travis are handling all the wedding planning, not Donna. They added that Donna and Taylor have a great relationship and genuinely like each other.
Kelce’s Hollywood ambitions are also heating up as he explores opportunities outside of football.
According to Page Six, the couple went to Zooey Deschanel’s Christmas party on December 13th and chatted with celebrities like David Bernad, a producer for The White Lotus.
As a huge fan, I’m hearing amazing things about Travis! It sounds like he might be getting his own TV show, and he’s definitely a big part of Taylor’s ‘End of an Era’ documentary on Netflix. Apparently, Netflix and other studios are already chatting about potential projects with him – it’s so exciting to think about all the possibilities!
After the Chiefs lost to the Broncos on Christmas Day, Kelce was questioned about whether he planned to retire.
That’s a really good question. I’m still figuring things out, honestly. This situation didn’t end well, and it left me feeling disappointed. I’m determined to move forward, but I need to do what’s best for myself.
He said he’s hoping the Chiefs will want him back if he decides he wants to return, acknowledging it needs to work for both sides. Right now, though, he’s focused on finishing the season strong and giving everything he has to the team and its fans, playing with the same energy people have come to expect from him.
Taylor Swift has said her mom, Andrea, played a key role in her relationship with Travis Kelce, helping things move forward after Taylor had started to believe she wouldn’t find love again. Kelce also contributed to this positive change.
In the fourth episode of her documentary series, The End of an Era, the singer shared that while her world tour (March 2023–December 2024) helped her cope, her personal life was actually quite difficult.
Swift shared that there were times during the tour when it was the main source of strength and motivation in her life.
It wasn’t the tour itself that made me want to give up, it was my personal life. I actually went through two breakups during the first half of it, which was really tough.
People quickly interpreted her remarks as references to her breakups with both Joe Alwyn, her partner of over six years, and Matty Healy, whom she dated briefly after ending things with Alwyn.
She shared this surprising truth with a mischievous grin, then added sharply, ‘Men will disappoint you, but the Eras Tour won’t.’
Despite going through a difficult breakup, the tour surprisingly led to her current relationship with her fiancé, Kelce.
In the documentary, Taylor shared that her mom noticed articles about Travis Kelce’s podcast, where he mentioned wanting to make Taylor a friendship bracelet with his phone number on it.
Andrea quickly called her cousin, the family’s biggest Kansas City Chiefs fan, to ask about Kelce. Her cousin said he was a genuinely kind person and very close to his mother.
Bells went off in Andrea’s head as she considered how to get her daughter to meet him.
Taylor remembered her mom starting the conversation with a hesitant tone, essentially saying, ‘I have a feeling you won’t like this, but there’s someone I want to tell you about…’ Her mom quickly added, ‘He’s really cute!’
Taylor added, ‘You said something to the effect of like you gotta start doing something different.’
She ended the story with a laugh, saying she never would have guessed her most important relationship would begin with someone complaining about her not wanting to meet him. She found the whole thing unbelievable.
If things don’t go as planned with her relationships or work, Taylor Swift has a reliable fallback: her baking. She famously shared her homemade sourdough bread at a party following her friend Este Haim’s wedding.
