When They Twinned at the ‘Quarterback’ Premiere

It may not have been on purpose, but this twinning moment between the two remains one of the funniest.

For the premiere of Netflix’s Quarterback — which chronicled Mahomes, Kirk Cousins and Marcus Mariota’s lives as pro quarterbacks — Kelce and Mahomes accidentally showed up wearing matching mint-green suits.

“Wish it was planned,” Mahomes, wrote in his Instagram Story showing a shot of him and Kelce posing together above a photo of Twins stars Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito in matching suits, adding laughing emojis.

“Looks like you guys read each others’ minds off the field too #Twins,” former New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman chimed in on his own Stories.

When Mahomes Saved His Bro From Embarrassing Himself at the White House

A good friend is always there to save you from yourself. And that’s exactly what Mahomes did for Kelce when the Kansas City Chiefs went to the White House following their Super Bowl LVII win.

After presenting Joe Biden with his very own Chiefs jersey, Kelce beelined to the presidential podium and began addressing the audience. “So I have been waiting for this—” the tight end began before Mahomes swooped in and swiftly escorted him off as the crowd laughed.

On an episode of New Heights, which he hosts with his brother Jason Kelce, Travis addressed the incident.

“Obviously, the president at the podium, it’s iconic right? And how he usually addresses the nation, [he says] ‘To my fellow Americans,’” Travis explained. “That’s all I wanted to say, dude,” he said through laughter. “I shouldn’t have started off with ‘I’ve always wanted to do this,’” he said before admitting, “Pat knew I was in over my head, man.”

When They Opened Up About Their Meet-Cute

The strongest bonds are forged in fire and the bond between these two is no different. Apparently, the two knew they would get along swimmingly when they both coincidentally arrived late for practice on the same day.

Mahomes, who was new to the Chiefs found relief in that he wasn’t the only latecomer, while Kelce, who already had a reputation for being late, was just glad someone else arrived later than him that day.

When Mahomes Spoke About Meeting Taylor Swift

Since the genesis of their budding romance, Taylor Swift has been spotted bonding with all the people close to Travis, including his mom, dad and Mahomes’ wife, Brittany. So, naturally, fans wondered if Travis’ BFF had met the “Cruel Summer” singer.

“Yeah, I met her,” Mahomes told reporters back in September. “She’s really cool, good people.”

The superstar quarterback then went on to reiterate the tight end’s plans to keep the rumored romance private.

“But like Trav said, man, I’m going to let them have their privacy and just keep it moving,” Mahomes added, referring to Kelce’s comments about the future of his and Swift’s relationship.

(A month later, Swift and Mahomes’ wife Brittany would be seen doing a celebratory secret handshake in the stands.)
