Travis Kelce showed off his wedding band as he started training for his “last dance” weeks after tying the knot with Taylor Swift.
Nearly three weeks after beginning a new chapter of his life with the Love Story hitmaker, Kelce’s friend hinted that the Kansas City Chiefs star might retire after the upcoming NFL (National Football League) season.
Will Travis Kelce retire after wedding with Taylor Swift?
Taking to Instagram on Monday, July 20, his pal Cris Carter shared a picture with Kelce alongside his training team.
In the picture shared on social media, the Chiefs’ tight end could be seen flaunting his wedding ring as he wrapped his arm around Carter's shoulder.
The former football wide receiver wrote over a photo, “Andrew [Spruill] and I started with Travis before his rookie year in the NFL. Know the [GOAT] is preparing for THE LAST DANCE. Next stop Canton/HOF.”
The caption sparked backlash from Kelce fans who slammed Carter for claiming that it would be the 36-year-old’s last dance when he himself has not made comments about his retirement.
A fan wrote, “Can Travis be allowed to announce his own retirement, please? Everything about him makes headlines. Are you saying this for attention? He's always said he doesn't want a farewell tour or the focus to be on him during the season. Travis has earned the right to announce this himself when he sees fit.”
“Why would you think you should announce that for @killatrav? He's on a 2-year contract and hasn’t announced a damn thing. Let the athlete handle their own announcements,” another argued.
The third one asked, “Are we sure it's the last dance?”
