Travis Kelce had a low-key birthday celebration amid his budding romance with Taylor Swift.
The NFL star rang in his 34th birthday — without his rumored new girlfriend — at Golden Ox steakhouse in Kansas City, Mo., according to Entertainment Tonight.
An eyewitness told the outlet that Kelce was joined by one his agents and two of his teammates for the dinner.
The party of four arrived at the restaurant around 8:30 p.m. and ordered several drinks, including an old fashioned.
“They all had a good time and enjoyed themselves,” the source said.
Despite the celebratory occasion, Kelce was dressed casually in a black cap, purple hoodie, sweatpants and purple sneakers.
Although the two-time Super Bowl champion initially appeared downcast when exiting the eatery after his meal, he graciously snapped photos with several fans on the street — including an attractive blonde woman — per the Daily Mail.
The football player’s relaxed night out came as he and the Kansas City Chiefs prepare to take on the Minnesota Vikings in Minneapolis on Sunday.
Nevertheless, there had been speculation that Kelce would celebrate the occasion with Swift, 33, amid their whirlwind relationship.
Pvnew exclusively learned that the “Cruel Summer” singer jetted out of New York City on Wednesday, though it’s unclear where the pop star was traveling to.
At the time, a source told us that the tight end had no big plans for his birthday, except for a “previous work commitment.”
Even though the two seemingly spent Kelce’s special day apart, Swift was still on his mind during a post-practice press conference on Friday.
When asked about the sudden spotlight on his love life, the athlete told reporters, “It feels like I was on top of the world after the Super Bowl and right now I’m even more on top of the world.”
But the Ohio native confessed that he’s trying to navigate the newfound paparazzi attention.
“It comes with it. You’ve got a lot of people that care about Taylor, and for good reason,” he said, adding, “You just gotta keep living and learning and enjoying the moments.”
Despite all the buzz surrounding their romance, the NFL star is reportedly still in the early stages of dating the Grammy winner, who has attended two of his games and spent time with his mom, Donna Kelce.
“They talk every day. Taylor’s really enjoying getting to know Travis,” an insider told Us Weekly Tuesday.
“They’re taking it day by day, but she has high hopes. She likes that he’s a normal, nice guy. He’s down-to-earth and isn’t affected by fame. She also thinks he’s hot.”
