Following the Kansas City Chiefs' victory over the San Francisco 49ers in the 2024 Super Bowl, Travis Kelce clarified rumors suggesting he had dinner with rival Christian McCaffrey. Kelce explained on his podcast that he coincidentally ended up at the same restaurant as McCaffrey but did not dine together.
Kelce expressed his respect for McCaffrey and mentioned that had he known McCaffrey was present, he would have congratulated him on an outstanding season. The incident sparked media attention, with paparazzi photos circulating online.
McCaffrey and his fiancée, Olivia Culpo, were seen arriving at a popular Japanese restaurant in Malibu, coinciding with Kelce's visit. Kelce, who was dining alone as his girlfriend Taylor Swift was occupied with her tour, arrived at the restaurant wearing casual attire.
McCaffrey and Culpo, who got engaged in 2023, were attending an event for a tanning company along with other celebrities like Chrissy Teigen and Becky G. Kelce discreetly left the restaurant through the back exit to avoid paparazzi attention.
Since going public with his relationship with Taylor Swift in 2023, Kelce has been cautious about media exposure. The couple, who began dating secretly the previous summer, has garnered significant public interest.
