CELEBRITY
Super Bowl feels like a useless award to Travis Kelce as he attends as a spectator after the Chiefs missed the playoffs.
Travis Kelce was in attendance at Super Bowl LX, but — in a rarity for recent years — not as a player.
The Kansas City Chiefs tight end, 36, was on hand at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif., on Sunday, Feb. 8, for the presentation of the Walter Payton Man of the Year award. Travis was nominated for the award in 2020.
The award, which recognizes a player for “excellence on and off the field,” went to Washington Commanders linebacker Bobby Wagner this year. Travis stood alongside Jarrett Payton, a former running back and the son of the award’s namesake, as Wagner accepted his honor.
Travis also pulled out of this year’s Pro Bowl after making the team for the 11th time in his 13-year career, adding fuel to speculation about his possible retirement.
This is the first time since 2023 that Travis isn’t playing in the Super Bowl game. He and the Chiefs won Super Bowl LVII and LVIII, before losing last year to the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LIX. Kelce also won Super Bowl LIV with the Chiefs in 2019.
His brother, former Eagles center Jason Kelce, recently told PEOPLE, “It is weird, not having Trav in the Super Bowl or playing in it myself. It hasn’t happened in a while.”
Jason, 38, and his wife, Kylie Kelce, both said they were looking forward to a less-stressful Super Bowl this year.
“There’s no stress this year. I’ve got no skin in the game. I am carefree. I love it,” Kylie, 33, tells PEOPLE in an exclusive interview. “I’ll be watching at home, and I love watching at home because the snacks are really close by. It’s my favorite.”

Struggling to speak and barely able to catch his breath, he delivered a shocking announcement that has left Chiefs Kingdom and the entire sports world stunned.
