Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce hit the town on another date night in Los Angeles.

ADS BY MAXVALUE

The couple were seen holding hands while leaving a dinner date at celeb hotspot Sushi Park on Friday, April 12. Swift, 34, sported a Kansas City Chiefs-red jacket over a black top and denim skirt, while Kelce, 34, donned a green knit long-sleeve shirt and a matching pair of shorts.

Swift and Kelce are both in their off-seasons — he from his NFL season, she from her Eras Tour — and have been spending their respective time away from work with each other.

The couple, who began dating in the summer of 2023, have been attached at the hip since Swift completed the Singapore leg of her Eras Tour in March. That same month, they took a much-needed vacation together to the Bahamas, before returning to LA together.

Swift and Kelce have been seen out and about in Los Angeles on more than one occasion since then. Last week, they attempted to avoid paparazzi while leaving dinner at Bird Street Club in West Hollywood on Tuesday, April 9.

Kelce has also been filming episodes of Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity? in Los Angeles, which he is set to host. (Us Weekly exclusively revealed the title of the Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader? reboot last month).

“They’re focused on rest and recuperation and relaxing at home and having low-key and chill time together,” a source exclusively told Us about Swift and Kelce. “They are enjoying movie nights in her home theater, catching up on films and shows they’ve missed.”

The insider noted that Swift and Kelce needed “a break from the buzz of their careers” and have been “spending quality time together and with friends and family.”

A source exclusively revealed to Us that Swift and Kelce planned to attend Coachella later this month, and would be “renting a house” for one of the two festival weekends. (The 2024 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival runs for two weekends back-to-back on April 12-14 and 19-21.)

“They both want to see Lana Del Rey and [Jack Antonoff’s band] Bleachers,” the insider said. Del Rey, 38, and Antonoff, 40, are friends and collaborators of Swift. According to the source, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end is expected to stay with Swift until late April.

“Taylor is very excited about the opportunities Travis is getting and fully supports him,” a third source told Us. “[But] she wants him to be conscious of his schedule. The only issue is making sure they can see each other.”

Overwhelmed with the huge watch collection of billionaire LeBron James

The NBA sensation known as “The King,” LeBron James, is much more than just the greatest basketball player of the current generation. James is a watch collector as well as an investor, actor, and philanthropist. The ordinary watch collector would swoon over LeBron James’ watch collection, which includes pieces from Rolex, Audemars Piguet, Patek Philippe, and Richard Mille. 18 timepieces from the King’s collection will be examined now.

LEBRON JAMES’ PATEK PHILIPPE WATCHES

No watch collection, in my opinion, is complete without a Gerald Genta design. The Patek Philippe Nautilus watch by Gerald Genta is possibly its most well-known creation. LeBron owns a number of Nautiluses. He has been seen donning the Patek Philippe Nautilus chronograph in rose gold, reference 5980/1R-001. Not all of the athletes we’ve profiled have this Nautilus, including LeBron. The same item has also been seen on Conor McGregor numerous times. Although the Nautilus 5980/1R-001 is pretty stunning, it will set you back more than $280,000 USD.

Without a Gerald Genta design, in my opinion, no watch collection is complete. Gerald Genta’s Patek Philippe Nautilus watch is arguably his most well-known design. LeBron is the owner of several Nautiluses. The Patek Philippe Nautilus chronograph in rose gold, reference 5980/1R-001, has been spotted on him. LeBron James is one of the athletes we’ve profiled who doesn’t have this Nautilus. Conor McGregor has also frequently been spotted wearing the same item. The Nautilus 5980/1R-001 is quite beautiful, but it costs more than $280,000 USD.

The Patek Philippe Sky Moon Celestial Ref. 6102R is one of the brand’s “Grand Complications” and the last Patek Philippe I will highlight from LeBron’s collection. The timepiece has a decorative black sapphire crystal dial with a spinning chart of the celestial bodies that displays a picture of the northern hemisphere’s night sky at any given time. The Patek Philippe Sky Moon Celestial is available secondhand for about $360,000 USD.

LEBRON JAMES’ ROLEX WATCHES

Lebron has been photographed wearing a few different watches, yet the majority of his collection does not consist of Rolex. LeBron’s Rolex collection consists of both the entry-level Oyster Perpetual and more expensive gold watches. For a Rolex collector, this contrast is rather striking. Regarding gold Rolex-Day-Dates, James has been sighted donning a Ref. 218238 41mm 18k yellow gold Rolex Day-Date II. Although the Day-Date 41 is no longer produced (although a 40mm version is still available), Lebron’s watch is still available on the secondary market for over $55,000 USD.

Although Lebron has been seen wearing a variety of timepieces, Rolex does not make up the majority of his collection. Both the entry-level Oyster Perpetual and more expensive gold watches may be found in LeBron James’ Rolex collection. This distinction is rather noticeable to a Rolex collector. James has reportedly been spotted wearing a Ref. 218238 41mm 18k yellow gold Rolex Day-Date II. Lebron’s watch is still obtainable on the secondary market for more than $55,000 USD even though the Day-Date 41 is no longer manufactured (but a 40mm version is still available).

LeBron’s Rolex collection also includes some of the most affordable pieces Rolex has to offer. The Rolex Oyster Perpetual is as entry level as you can get for a Rolex, and James has a couple. James was spotted wearing the 41mm Rolex Oyster Perpetual with coral red dial (Ref. M124300-0007). This piece retails for the affordable price (for Rolex) of $6,150. The Oyster Perpetuals have recently skyrocketed on the secondary market, however, where this piece is selling for $23,000 USD and over.

LeBron has also been spotted wearing another Rolex Oyster Perpetual, the variation in turquoise blue (Ref. M124300-0006). This 41mm Rolex also retails for just $6,150 USD, but is selling on the secondary market for around $40,000 USD. This is because the color variation is similar to the Tiffany Blue on the extremely rare Patek Philippe Nautilus 5711. Apparently watch collectors that will never get their hands on the Nautilus are opting to buy the Oyster Perpetual instead, causing the price to skyrocket (along with secondary sellers marketing it as a “Tiffany Blue Rolex Oyster Perpetual”). Well, LeBron doesn’t need to settle for one or the other as he has both watches.

Lebron seems to enjoy the baby blue, turquoise, and Tiffany blue dials. Lebron was sighted on April 8, 2022, sporting a very rare platinum Rolex Day-Date with Arabic numbers, an ice blue dial, and baguette cut diamonds. He also owns the Tiffany Blue Nautilus and the now-discontinued Turquoise “Tiffany” blue 41mm Oyster Perpetual. Only Middle Eastern shops are offering this item, Ref. 228396TBR, for sale for $119,000 USD. The price of this item on the secondary market is around $430,000 USD.

LEBRON JAMES’ AUDEMARS PIGUET WATCHES

LeBron also has quite the collection of Audemars Piguet watches. Perhaps James’ interest in AP’s began in 2013 when he teamed up with the brand to create the Royal Oak Offshore LeBron James limited edition. Even though LeBron is a large guy at 6′ 9″, the watch comes in at only 44mm in diameter. The watch is made of both titanium and gold, a combination not often seen on a watch and includes a single diamond-set chrono pusher that is not visible while looking at the watch straight on. The watch is limited to 600 pieces and originally retailed for $51,500 USD in 2013. The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore LeBron James is currently selling selling on the secondary market for between $80,000 and $100,000 USD.

One of my favorite AP’s that LeBron owns is the Royal Oak Chronograph in pink gold with blue dial (Ref. 26331OR.OO.D315CR.0). The case size on this piece is a modest 41mm and the watch has a highly sought after blue dial. While the retail price on this piece is close to $40,000 USD it is currently selling on the secondary market for around $120,000 USD.

While LeBron does not have many “iced out” watches, he was recently spotted wearing a diamond-adorned piece. The piece in question is an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore with factory diamonds on both the dial and case (Ref. 26067BC.ZZ.D002CR.01). The watch has a white gold case with 341 brilliant-cut diamonds on both the case and dial. While retail price on this piece is $118,000 USD you can get it for $97,940 USD on the secondary market.

The new partnership between Audemars Piguet and Marvel was one of their more unexpected moves. The Royal Oak Concept Black Panther Flying Tourbillon (Ref. 26620IO.OO.D077CA.01) is the end outcome of the partnership. Purple accents and the Black Panther are featured on the dial of this futuristic piece. LeBron James, who owns one of the 250 pieces produced, was spotted wearing the expensive and rather contentious item. For between $380,000 and $500,000 USD, you can find a few pieces of Black Panther AP on the secondary market.

In addition to his Black Panther Tourbillon, James also has a couple of other AP tourbillons. One of these pieces is the Royal Oak Offshore Tourbillon 25th anniversary in steel (Ref. 26421ST.OO.A002CA.01). This piece is limited to only 50 pieces worldwide and is currently available on the secondary market for $425,000 USD.

If you really like a watch, why not get it twice, right? Well LeBron also has the pink gold version of the Royal Oak Offshore Tourbillon 25th anniversary (Ref. 26421OR.OO.A002CA.01). Like its steel counterpart, this piece is also limited to 50 pieces and is currently available on the secondary market for $572,000 USD.

 

Lebron has been out and about sporting a couple new Royal Oaks recently and I felt compelled to add these two pieces to the article. Lebron was recently spotted wearing a 41mm Royal Oak Double Balance Wheel Openworked in black ceramic with a skeletonized dial. The slate gray dial features pink gold applied hour-markers and the case is bracelet are made of black ceramic. This piece (Ref. 15416CE.OO.1225CE.01) is currently selling on the secondary market for around $600,000 USD.

 

James was also recently spotted wearing the brand new 50th Anniversary Audemars Piguet Royal Oak yellow gold Jumbo Extra Thin with a smoked yellow gold toned dial. This piece, Ref. 16202BA, retails for $70,500 USD but sells on the secondary market for around $550,000 USD.

 

Lebron keeps on improving his Audemars Piguet collection. While injured, he was spotted courtside of the Lakers-Suns game wearing an 18k rose gold Audemars Piguet Tourbillon Ref. 26521OR. The bezel of this Royal Oak is set with 32 baguette-cut sapphires. The blue dial features a stunning Tapisserie Evolutive pattern with emerald hour markers. This piece has a price-tag of around $190,000 USD.

LEBRON JAMES’ RICHARD MILLE WATCHES

While LeBron doesn’t have as large a Richard Mille collection as someone like Jay-Z or Drake, he does have a couple of pieces. One of the pieces is the Richard Mille RM011 Felipe Massa. This watch was named after Brazilian Formula 1 driver Felipe Massa and has numerous complications, including a flyback chronograph, a 60-minute countdown timer, and an annual calendar. While the watch retailed for around $130,000 USD it is currently selling on the secondary market for over $300,000 USD.

LeBron’s other Richard Mille is also an RM011, but an RM011-03 “Jean Todt” with a blue case made of NTPT blue carbon and black carbon. Jean Todt is a French motor racing executive and former rally co-driver, so with this RM011, Richard Mille is keeping its racing heritage. While this piece has the same complications as the Felipe Massa mentioned above, it is selling for 2.5 times the price of that watch. You would have to spend an astronomical $750,000 USD to pick one up on the secondary market.

Taylor Swift seemingly predicted her romance with Travis Kelce back in 2009 when she described her ideal man in a resurfaced interview.

The singer, 34, who recently celebrated New Year’s with the Kansas City Chiefs star, 34,  detailed her dream man and relationship in a candid chat with Glamour – and he bears a striking resemblance to her current romance.

She said:  ‘It’s always going to be long-distance, even if I date the boy who lives next door to me in Nashville.

‘I’ll be flying to see him and flying him places to see me. It feels like it would involve more scheduling, and I already deal with a lot of scheduling in my life. Of course, if I met somebody who was worth it, I would probably stop thinking that way!’

Taylor has been regularly flying to watch Travis’ games and seeing him whenever she has a break from her The Eras tour.

The singer, 34, who recently celebrated New Year’s with the Kansas City Chiefs star, 34, detailed her dream man and relationship in a candid chat with Glamour – and he bears a striking resemblance to her current romance

When asked if she’d ‘have to date someone at a similar level of success?’ she responded: ‘I think it’s more a question of confidence. I wouldn’t want to be with a pushover who would let me make all the plans and have all the control.

‘It’s really natural for me to go into planning mode, but I’d rather be with someone who has his own voice and passion and ambition.’

The couple  looked as loved-up as ever as they posed with Brittany and Patrick Mahomes in a new snap from a New Year’s party in Kansas City.

Taylor and Travis, who shared a passionate kiss at the soiree as the clock struck midnight, were smitten as the singer wrapped an arm around the NFL star – while cuddling up to Brittany and Kansas City Chiefs star Patrick, both 28.

Travis showed off his quirky style in a mottled brown corduroy two piece and shades, while Taylor wowed in a glittering dress worn with her signature red lipstick as she held a glass of champagne.

A further snap from the festivities showed Taylor pulling a pout as she posed with Travis and a group of pals.

A giddy Travis wrapped an arm around his girlfriend as they prepared to ring in 2024.

This comes amid speculation among fans that Travis told Taylor ‘I love you’ in a viral video of the pair sharing a kiss at midnight.

The pair are seen deep in conversation before locking lips in the video – with Swifties claiming Travis was declaring his love for the star.

Video from the party surfaced across social media on New Year’s Day, with the singer and the NFL star caught on camera in a passionate embrace on a number of clips from the bash.

They partied the night away after Swift went to cheer Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs on to victory in Sunday’s game against Cincinnati Bengals.

The singer arrived for the game at Arrowhead Stadium wearing a replica of the same Chiefs jacket that Kelce had arrived in for the Christmas Day NFL game which she was also at. A closer looks shows that she has ‘Tay’ stitched into the sleeve of her version – a nickname Travis has used for her before.

They have spent plenty of time together during the holidays with the singer enjoying a break before a relentless year of touring in 2024.

The couple went public with their relationship in late September last year when she arrived in Kansas City to cheer him on against the Chicago Bears in September 24. She sat next to his mom, Donna, for the duration of the game.

In her only interview since then, Swift said they had been spending time together up to then and were already a couple.

‘By the time I went to that first game, we were a couple,’ Swift told TIME magazine after they crowned her 2023’s Person of the Year.

‘I think some people think that they saw our first date at that game? We would never be psychotic enough to hard launch a first date.

‘When you say a relationship is public, that means I’m going to see him do what he loves, we’re showing up for each other, other people are there and we don’t care.

‘The opposite of that is you have to go to an extreme amount of effort to make sure no one knows that you’re seeing someone. And we’re just proud of each other.’

As one of LeBron James’ closest friends and former teammates, Tristan Thompson’s suspension has significant implications for both James and the Cleveland Cavaliers.

In the wake of Tristan Thompson’s suspension, rumors have emerged of a potential NBA investigation into the matter. While league officials have yet to confirm or deny the reports, the seriousness of the allegations and the potential ramifications for the integrity of the game make it likely that the NBA will conduct a thorough inquiry into the matter.

In the midst of the controversy surrounding Tristan Thompson, LeBron James has remained steadfast in his support for his friend and former teammate. While expressing disappointment over the situation, James has emphasized the need for due process and fairness, urging fans and observers not to rush to judgment until all the facts are known.

From the Cleveland Cavaliers’ playoff aspirations to the league’s commitment to maintaining the integrity of the game, the stakes are high as the basketball world awaits further developments in this unfolding saga.

 

In a surprising turn of events, NFL star Travis Kelce has called off his relationship with pop sensation Taylor Swift, leaving not only fans but also his mother, Donna Kelce, in disbelief.

The news broke yesterday when Kelce, known for his prowess on the football field and high-profile relationships off it, announced the end of his romance with Swift. The couple, who had been seen together at various public events, had garnered attention for their seemingly close bond.

 

Donna Kelce, Travis’s mother, expressed her shock at the unexpected breakup. “We never saw this coming. Taylor was like a part of the family, and we were all rooting for them,” she said in a statement.

The reasons behind the split remain unclear, as both Kelce and Swift have yet to make any public statements regarding the breakup. Fans are speculating about the possible factors that led to the separation, but for now, the details are shrouded in mystery.

Travis Kelce, tight end for the [Team Name], is renowned not only for his on-field performances but also for his high-profile relationships. This breakup with Taylor Swift adds another layer to the athlete’s personal life, prompting social media to buzz with discussions and opinions.

As fans and the public await further updates on the situation, one thing is certain: the unexpected end of the Kelce-Swift romance has left many in surprise and speculation.

Going on toυr is a very energy-consυмing activity and мakes мany big stars feel “bored”. There are stars who are even afraid of going on toυr becaυse they cannot stand the pressυre and harsh deмands of going on toυr.

However, Taylor Swift is on toυr while qυietly coмpleting her new albυм. Each of her shows on the <eм>Eras</eм> toυr lasts мore than 3 and a half hoυrs, with a song list of мore than 40 songs.

Even thoυgh it hasn’t ended yet, the <eм>Eras</eм> toυr has becoмe the highest-grossing toυr of all tiмe and helped Swift join the groυp of USD billionaires. Not only that, she also invested herself in мaking a мovie revolving aroυnd the toυr – the мovie <eм>Taylor Swift: The Eras Toυr</eм> .

This filм also set a record, becoмing the highest-grossing filм aмong filмs мade aboυt toυrs. Dυring the toυr, Swift also recorded and filмed the MV for the new albυм and re-released the old albυм… That hυge aмoυnt of work has been done by Swift in jυst… the past year and a half.

This tireless hard work can only be explained by Swift’s own words. She told <eм>Tiмe</eм> мagazine (USA) aboυt her state at this stage: “This is the tiмe when I feel the proυdest, happiest, and also the tiмe when I aм мost satisfied with creative ideas.” , I feel мore free than ever.

We can keep things siмple, we can мake things as coмplicated as we want, bυt in the end there’s only one qυestion… Do yoυ find yoυrself entertained when yoυ follow мe?” .
