Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes are famously close friends, so they're not shy about teasing each other, even publicly. Patrick is 28 and Travis is 34, and while of course, that's not a significant age gap between friends, it is between football players, and Patrick didn't miss his chance to joke about it.

Speaking about the Kansas City Chiefs' newest player, Hollywood Brown, he praised his new teammate, saying "I've been impressed by how hungry [Hollywood’s] been. You can tell he wants to win. Obviously, he wants to do good and everybody wants to do good. But you can tell he wants to be a part of something that’s special, part of greatness."

Then, talking about the team, he said "We’re trying to build that here and we believe that we’ve started it and we want to continue it. We still have a young team — other than Trav," he added with a smirk. "If we can continue to build this with a lot of people who are hungry and wanna win, we can keep this thing going."

Travis and Patrick's friendship has been seen in every game, and this bond seems to have extended to their partners. Many times, when she went to see Travis play, Taylor Swift was seen hanging out with Patrick's wife, soccer player Brittany Mahomes.

Recently, he went on vacation to the Bahamas with Taylor Swift for "several days" after a demanding but incredibly rewarding football season. Previously, he'd accompanied the singer on her Eras tour, flying off to Australia and Singapore to support her, so this was "a much-needed break for both of them. They very much enjoyed it. They are so happy together."

Travis Kelce appears to be well-prepared to handle the pressures that come with dating a superstar like Taylor Swift.

Before this romantic getaway, the couple were already spending a lot of time together, decompressing from their busy careers during Taylor's hiatus from her tour. They are both looking forward to "a break from the buzz of their careers," and are "focused on rest and recuperation and relaxing at home and having low-key and chill time together. They are enjoying movie nights in her home theater, catching up on films and shows they’ve missed."

While neither of them is putting their careers on hold by any means, they are reportedly planning on "scheduling" their upcoming projects in a way that "they can see each other as much as possible," so it seems that, as their relationship gets more serious, their priorities are changing.
