Celebrating his 35th birthday, Travis Kelce received heartfelt affection from a remarkable person in his life—his mother! On October 5, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end marked the occasion at his annual Kelce Car Jam event in Kansas City, Missouri. After addressing the crowd, he shared a warm hug with his mother, Donna Kelce.
This touching interaction occurred right after Travis finished his speech, during which he engaged with attendees to promote his Eighty-Seven & Running Foundation. Following a quick peace sign to the audience, his mother, 71, raised her arms to embrace him, prompting a heartfelt response from Travis.
Dressed in a gray and white shirt, black baseball cap, and sunglasses for the event, he enjoyed a day filled with Raising Cane’s food options and showcased vintage cars. Donna chose a vibrant deep pink T-shirt adorned with floral patterns.
While on stage, Travis expressed his birthday wish—securing a win in the upcoming Chiefs game against the New Orleans Saints at Arrowhead Stadium on October 7. “How about we go get a win on Monday night? How about that? You guys up for that?” he asked, eliciting enthusiastic cheers from the crowd.
In an exclusive conversation with PEOPLE, Travis playfully mentioned his desired birthday present this year: “Another Super Bowl, if you’ve got one!” With his mother and a crowd of fans who gifted him cards and sang “Happy Birthday,” Travis enjoyed the company of many family members and friends on his special day.
His father, Ed Kelce, brother, Jason Kelce, and sister-in-law, Kylie Kelce, were present, along with Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and his pregnant wife, Brittany Mahomes, who are expecting their third child.
Although Taylor Swift was absent from the event, she is busy preparing for the final shows of her record-breaking Eras Tour, set to resume on October 18 in Miami, Florida. The 34-year-old singer has attended several Kansas City Chiefs games since dating rumors began in September 2023, with her most recent appearance on September 15 during the game against the Cincinnati Bengals at Arrowhead Stadium.
