Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce were spotted enjoying a cozy night out in Los Angeles on Monday, stepping into the celebrity-favorite Italian spot, Funke in Beverly Hills.
Known recently for a Netflix feature, the restaurant is a hotspot for A-listers like Justin and Hailey Bieber.
The outing gave fans a rare glimpse of the couple’s ongoing romance as they continue wedding preparations amid Kelce’s career uncertainties.
The pair, both 36, looked effortlessly in sync as they arrived at the eatery.
Swift was dressed in a chic oversized blazer—possibly borrowed from Kelce—and a crisp white miniskirt, her blonde hair sleek and straight.
Kelce kept it casual in a brown short-sleeve shirt, occasionally wearing a thoughtful expression as he followed his fiancée into the restaurant.
Later, the couple left discreetly, slipping into a black SUV before driving off.
From Football Fields to Pop Stardom: How They Fell
The romance between Swift and Kelce has been in spotlight since summer 2023.
That fall, they went public, with Swift cheering on Kelce at Kansas City Chiefs games while he showed up at her Eras Tour concerts. Their relationship quickly escalated, culminating in a surprise engagement in August 2025.
Despite Kansas City missing out on another Super Bowl and swirling retirement rumors, the couple seems unfazed.
Fans continue to speculate about Kelce’s NFL future, but insiders say he’s keeping all options open.
“If he had to make a decision today, he’d come back,” one source told the Daily Mail.
“But it hasn’t officially hit him yet what he wants to do.
He has to process it with Taylor, his family—it’s a journey.”
Family Matters: Guidance From Both Sides
Kelce isn’t making life-altering choices alone.
His mother, Donna, 73, is reportedly involved in the discussion, offering opinions as she sees fit, though she keeps a light touch when it comes to wedding planning.
“When it comes to the wedding, the planning is all on Taylor and Travis, not on Donna,” a friend noted.
Swift, meanwhile, has leaned on her own mother, Andrea, throughout the relationship.
As she revealed in her docuseries The End of an Era, Andrea helped connect Taylor with Kelce after spotting a podcast appearance where he casually offered a friendship bracelet with his number.
Andrea’s quick investigation, aided by a family cousin and Chiefs expert, confirmed Kelce’s genuine character, sparking the first steps toward their now-engaged relationship.
Career Crossroads and Hollywood Dreams
While Kelce contemplates retirement from football, he’s also exploring opportunities beyond the field.
Sources say he could appear in a TV series and is already featured in Swift’s End of an Era docuseries.
His Hollywood connections are growing; the couple attended Zooey Deschanel’s Christmas party, mingling with notable figures including White Lotus producer David Bernad.
Kelce recently reflected on the difficult season following the Chiefs’ loss to the Denver Broncos: “I think I’m still searching for those answers… I’ve got to make the right decision for me,” he said.
Regardless of the outcome, an analyst role or other media projects seem likely if he steps away from the NFL.
Swift’s Journey Through Heartbreak to Happily Ever After
Taylor’s road to romance wasn’t without its bumps.
During the docuseries, she candidly admitted her personal life during the Eras Tour was tough, navigating breakups while staying committed to her worldwide shows.
Fans quickly linked her comments to her split from actor Joe Alwyn and brief relationship with Matty Healy.
Despite the challenges, she quipped, “Men will let you down, the Eras Tour never will.”
Even as heartbreak loomed, it set the stage for her meeting with Kelce.
Taylor recalled how the initial connection, sparked by her mom and Kelce’s playful persistence, turned into something “the most meaningful relationship” of her life.
Their romance, full of surprises and family support, now heads toward marriage while balancing career milestones.
Life Beyond Music and Football
Aside from the romance and career talk, Swift continues to embrace life’s small joys.
She even shared her baking skills at an after-party for her friend Estee Haim’s wedding, handing out her famous sourdough—proof that even amid the whirlwind of music tours and NFL drama, she still finds ways to stay grounded.
For Swift and Kelce, love, career, and family all intertwine, creating a narrative that’s part celebrity spectacle, part real-life partnership.
As fans watch closely, the next chapters of their lives—be it a wedding, a Super Bowl comeback, or Hollywood ventures—promise to be just as compelling as the last.
