Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift stepped out for a rare public date night in Los Angeles as new reports continue to circulate about their wedding plans.

Kelce, 36, and Swift, 36, were seen Monday night dining at Funke in Beverly Hills, California. Photos published by TMZ on Tuesday showed the couple arriving and leaving the restaurant.

Swift wore a blazer over a white pleated skirt. Kelce wore a color-blocked button-up shirt. The appearance marked one of the couple’s most public outings in months.

The pair last stepped out publicly in November 2025, when they were seen on multiple dinner dates in New York City during Kelce’s bye week.

They visited Zero Bond and The Polo Bar during that trip.

Since then, social media photos have shown Kelce and Swift in more private settings, including Kelce’s high school football reunion and a Kansas City Chiefs Christmas party.


Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift Have Not Been Seen Publicly Since the Chiefs’ Season Ended

Kelce and Swift kept a low profile during the Beverly Hills outing, which came shortly after the Kansas City Chiefs’ season ended.

Swift attended many of Kelce’s games throughout the season as Kansas City finished its schedule and saw its playoff hopes fade. During the Chiefs’ final game, a Christmas Day loss, Swift was shown on camera watching from Arrowhead Stadium’s VIP suite.

Kelce has remained largely private since the season ended, making the Beverly Hills dinner one of the first major sightings of the couple since the Chiefs’ final weeks.


Travis Kelce Discusses Retirement Questions on ‘New Heights’

Kelce has not yet confirmed whether he plans to return for another NFL season. He addressed the topic on “New Heights,” the podcast he co-hosts with his older brother, retired Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce.

Kelce told listeners he would keep playing “in a heartbeat” if his body could “heal up and rest up” enough that he felt “confident.”

He added that he is still “finding that answer,” calling the decision a “rough thing to navigate.”

Kelce has not provided a timeline for when he will announce his decision.


Donna Kelce Reportedly Taking a Step Back From Wedding Planning

As Kelce weighs his football future, new reports have focused on the couple’s wedding plans. A Daily Mail report cited insider sources who claimed Kelce’s mother, Donna Kelce, is staying out of the decision-making process even though she has her own ideas.

“When it comes to the wedding, the planning is all on Taylor and Travis, not on Donna,” an insider told the outlet. “I think her head knows that, even when her heart wants to be more involved.”

The source added, “She told me she has to bite her tongue when it comes to the wedding plans because she has all sorts of ideas. Location, menu, the cake, the colors. She lives for that stuff. But she doesn’t want to be overbearing; she doesn’t want to overstep.”

The insider also said Donna and Swift have a strong relationship.

“I don’t think there’s been any friction at all,” the source said. “On the contrary, it’s all good. But she just thinks about that wedding all the time.”


Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift Reportedly Planning Wedding Together

A separate report from People described the couple’s approach to wedding planning as a shared effort, not something carried by one person.

“When it comes to wedding planning, nothing feels rushed or one-sided,” a source said. “They’re both equally involved and excited, and this isn’t something one or the other is carrying on their own.”

The source continued, “They’re approaching it as a partnership, talking things through together and enjoying the process in a way that feels natural to them.”

Kelce and Swift got engaged in August 2025 after two years of dating. They announced the news in a joint Instagram post captioned, “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married,” alongside photos from the proposal.
