“We’ve had a couple dinners,” Mahomes said. “I mean that just comes with friendship. It’s just a lot of great people and we just try to build this life together and just enjoy each other.”

“It’s been awesome to see their relationship grow,” the sportsman continued, later adding that “Taylor is a great person.”

Patrick Mahomes Says Travis Kelce’s Romance with Taylor Swift Has ‘Not Become a Distraction’

Last week, Kelce revealed when his and Swift’s love story began as he shared that the duo had already been getting to know each other weeks before she attended the Chief’s game against the Chicago Bears on Sept. 24, 2023.

“We had known each other for close to a month up to that point,” Kelce said during an appearance on The Pat McAfee Show. “It wasn’t just an out-of-the-blue, ‘Hey, come to the game,’ ” he added.

Meanwhile, Kelce’s teammate and friend Mahomes also opened up about how he thought the tight end was handling life outside of football.

“He’s handled it great,” Mahomes said. “He wants to be out, do stuff and follow his dreams outside the building and obviously he’s in a great relationship now and he embraces that.”
