Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce celebrate Chiefs’ Christmas win

Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce are celebrating their Christmas win with an extra sweet treat!

On Dec. 25, after the Kansas City Chiefs defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers 29-10 to clinch the No. 1 seed in the AFC, Mahomes, 29, and Kelce, 35, returned to the field to join the senior NFL reporter Stacey Dales. They were surprised by Netflix with footballs made of cake. After struggling to open his football, Kelce pitched.

“Oh yeah, look at that,” the tight end says, holding up the cake, which was videotaped and posted X of the team. “A little red velvet.”

While Kelce continued to take a bite of the cake, his quarterback decided not to taste it.

“I’m watching my weight until the playoffs, you know?” the quarterback says, laughing.

“More push-aways than pull-ins, that’s what coach (Andy) Reid would say,” Kelce chimes in as he continues to eat the cake.

As the three continue to chat, Dales asks Kelce how the cake tastes.

“Very red velvety,” Kelce replies. “It’s very spot on. It’s good. I’ll take this into the locker room and have some victory cake.”

However, Mahomes had other plans for his cake. “Coach Reid is up for it, I’ll take it to him,” he says.

In addition to celebrating the cake, Mahomes also shared during the interview what the win means to him and his family, including his wife, Brittany Mahomes, 30, who is pregnant, their 3-year-old daughter, Sterling Skye, and 2-year-old son, Bronze.

“I told my wife I was going to get her the No. 1 seed so we can have that baby,” he says.

Kelce, on the other hand, rang in the Christmas spirit with his girlfriend, Taylor Swift, by giving gifts to Chiefs defensive tackle Chris Jones and his girlfriend, Sheawna Weathersby.

On Christmas Day, Weathersby took to her Instagram story to share a photo of beautifully wrapped presents under a festive tree. Attached was a card signed “Merry Christmas” from “Travis and Taylor.”

“So blessed and thankful this holiday season,” Weathersby captioned the snapshot, adding, “Thank you Tay Tay!!!”

The Chiefs will play one more game next week, against the Broncos in Denver, to close out the regular season.
