Travis Kelce has leveled up his living situation with a six-bedroom mansion—and now we can finally see photos of his impressive new home.
Kelce has been linked to pop superstar Taylor Swift since September and the couple appeared to go public with an evening out in New York City last month. Swift has shown up to multiple Chiefs games this year, and Kelce reportedly plans to visit her during the team's bye week as she begins the international leg of her Eras tour.
The reality of Swift's fame seems to have forced Kelce to take some significant measures in his private life. The Kansas City Chiefs tight end reportedly purchased the $6 million mansion for additional privacy whenever Swift comes to visit him in Kansas City.
His old house was just too accessible, meaning it was becoming an unintended tourist attraction, TMZ reported, citing separate sources. When Swift visited Kelce recently, TMZ reported that paparazzi waited outside his house to catch a glimpse of the couple, which helped convince Kelce to make the move.
Newsweek reached out to representatives for Swift and Kelce for comment via email Monday.
There were rumors that it was Swift, 33, who was looking to purchase a house in Kansas City but now we know it was Kelce, 34, who made the purchase. While the "Love Story" singer didn't buy the property with Kelce, she reportedly went with him to view it.
The 17,000-square-foot mansion resides inside a gated community in Leawood, Kansas. As of the 2020 census, the population of the city was 33,902. The three acres of land on the property feature leafy gardens that shelter the house from sight, which is perfect for avoiding paparazzi.
Photos obtained by Realtor.com reveal just how sprawling the pad is. An entertainer's dream, the six-bedroom, six-bathroom mansion has a chef's kitchen, formal dining room, media room, wine cellar, and full bar.
The decadence doesn't end there, as a "Beverly Hills-style" pool area is the focal point of the large garden outside and it has plenty of room for lounge chairs, umbrellas, and pool toys.
The home features a variety of other luxurious amenities, including a mini golf course, waterfall, hot tub, tennis/pickleball court, and outdoor kitchen. Kelce will even be able to store his cars in the heated six-car garage.
A well-known Kansas City-area medical malpractice attorney and his family were the previous owners of this house. Originally listed in September 2022 for $6.9 million, it appears Kelce scored a deal on the property, as it is now pending sale at $6 million.
The grand estate sits on nearly 3.5 acres at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac. Compared to his previous Kansas City residence, a 4,200-square-foot house in the Briarcliff West neighborhood that he paid $995,000 in 2019, Kelce's most recent property acquisition is far more secluded.
