The homes of Kansas City Chiefs stars Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce were reportedly both burglarized last month. Authorities were alerted to the incidents involving the high-profile NFL players’ residences, and an investigation is now underway, with both the FBI and local police working to identify any potential suspects or connections.
According to The Kansas City Star, Mahomes’ Kansas City-area home was broken into just after midnight on October 6. Police arrived shortly afterward, alerted by a member of Mahomes’ security team. While there were no immediate signs of forced entry, police are still assessing if anything was stolen during the break-in. It remains unknown whether Mahomes or any of his family members were at home during the incident.
The second burglary occurred shortly after the Chiefs’ Monday night game against the New Orleans Saints began at Arrowhead Stadium. This time, it was Kelce’s residence in the Kansas City area that was targeted. Reports indicate that the backdoor to Kelce’s home was damaged during the break-in, resulting in a loss of approximately $20,000 in cash. No further information has been released on whether any other valuables were taken or if Kelce or anyone else was at home when the incident occurred.
In an interesting twist to the situation, pop superstar Taylor Swift was in Kansas City for that particular Monday night game to support Kelce, as rumors about their relationship continue to swirl. Following the game, the couple reportedly traveled to New York, taking advantage of the Chiefs’ bye week.
According to TMZ, The FBI has now joined local police in investigating the burglaries, as well as other reported break-ins in surrounding neighborhoods. Investigators are working to determine if these incidents are part of a broader pattern or if Mahomes and Kelce were specifically targeted.
Mahomes, now in his eighth season with the Chiefs, has been performing strongly with 2,208 passing yards, 12 touchdowns, and nine interceptions so far this season. He and his wife, Brittany, moved into their current Kansas City home with their children last year. Kelce, who has accumulated 499 receiving yards and two touchdowns this season, also purchased his current residence last year.
As Chiefs fans and the Kansas City community await further updates, there’s heightened security awareness around the homes of prominent players, especially following the recent burglaries. Local authorities remain committed to ensuring the safety of Mahomes, Kelce, and their families as the investigation unfolds.
