The Kansas City Chiefs and star tight end Travis Kelce are gearing up for the start of the 2025 NFL season. With just a month to go before the regular season arrives, the team has been very busy during training camp.

Kelce has become one of the most popular players in the NFL. He has been a star at his position for a long time, but his popularity has reached new heights since publicly dating Taylor Swift.

With all of the popularity that he has been receiving, Kelce’s mom, Donna Kelce, has also become a very public figure.

Heading into the 2025 NFL offseason, Kelce’s future was very much in question. Some thought he could ride off into the sunset and retire.

Despite those rumblings, Kelce opted to return for another season. Going out on a Super Bowl loss to the Philadelphia Eagles just didn’t sit right with him,

On Saturday during training camp, a touching moment was caught. A new photograph was taken of Kelce and his mom.

Fans immediately jumped into the comments section, showering Kelce and Mama Kelce with love.

“What a great pic!!!” one fan commented.

Another fan chimed in, “Love this entire family. Salt of the earth type.”

“Great pic of Trav and mama Kelce!” a third fan said.

A fourth comment read, “It will always make me happy to see that no matter what, he always has the support of his mom.”

“This is such a great picture. Look at those smiles,” a fifth fan wrote.

While the touching moment was heartwarming, Kelce is fully focused on making another championship run during the 2025 season. It could very well be his last chance to do so.

Last season with the Chiefs, Kelce turned in a solid year. It wasn’t as good as fans have come to expect from him, but it was a decent season.

In the 16 games he played, the 35-year-old tight end racked up 97 receptions for 823 yards and three touchdowns. He’s hoping to reap up his production in 2025.

Only time will tell, but Kelce is back and will continue being an elite target for Patrick Mahomes. Hopefully for both him and Kansas City, his decision to return will pay off with another championship ring.
