Travis Kelce was showered with heartfelt birthday love from a very special woman in his life—his mom, Donna Kelce. The Kansas City Chiefs star tight end celebrated his 35th birthday on Saturday, October 5, during his annual Kelce Car Jam event in Kansas City, Missouri, where a touching moment between mother and son became one of the highlights of the day.
As Travis stepped off the stage after addressing the crowd at the charity event supporting his Eighty-Seven & Running Foundation, Donna, 71, greeted him with a warm hug. After briefly flashing a peace sign to the cheering crowd, Travis leaned in to embrace his mom, creating a sweet moment that captured the attention of everyone in attendance.
Dressed casually in a gray and white shirt, black baseball cap, and sunglasses, Travis looked relaxed, while his mom sported a deep pink T-shirt adorned with flower designs. The event featured a variety of food and drink options for guests, along with an impressive display of vintage cars—an ideal celebration for the NFL superstar known for both his football prowess and off-the-field charisma.
On stage, Travis shared his birthday hopes with the crowd, emphasizing his desire for a win for the Chiefs in their upcoming game against the New Orleans Saints at Arrowhead Stadium on Monday, October 7. “How about we go get a win on Monday night? How about that? You guys up for that?” he asked, drawing a loud cheer from the supportive crowd.
In addition to his public wish for a Chiefs victory, Travis jokingly told PEOPLE about the birthday gift he’d love this year: “Another Super Bowl, if you’ve got one!” It’s no surprise that the two-time Super Bowl champion is focused on adding another ring to his collection.
Surrounded by fans, family, and close friends at the Kelce Car Jam, Travis was joined by his father, Ed Kelce, brother Jason Kelce, and sister-in-law Kylie Kelce. Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and his wife Brittany Mahomes, who is currently pregnant with their third child, also joined the festivities. The atmosphere was filled with love, laughter, and admiration for the birthday boy.
Notably absent from the celebration was Taylor Swift, who has been romantically linked to Travis since rumors of their relationship began circulating in September 2023. Swift, 34, has attended several Chiefs games to support Travis, most recently on September 15 when the team played the Cincinnati Bengals at Arrowhead Stadium. However, she was unable to attend the Kelce Car Jam, as she prepares for the final shows of her record-breaking Eras Tour, which will resume on October 18 in Miami, Florida.
Despite Swift’s absence, the event was a resounding success. Travis Kelce felt the love from his family, friends, and fans, with birthday cards, renditions of “Happy Birthday,” and the joyful presence of those closest to him. His 35th birthday celebration was truly memorable, and with the Chiefs gearing up for their Monday night game, he has his sights set on making his birthday wish for a win come true.
