Travis Kelce didn’t join Christian McCaffrey and Olivia Culpo despite sharing restaurant: Super Bowl wounds?

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce found himself in an unexpected encounter with San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey and his fiancee, Olivia Culpo, just weeks after his team’s victory at the 2024 Super Bowl.

Kelce reportedly arrived solo at Nobu Malibu around 20:00, while his girlfriend Taylor Swift was preparing for her Eras Tour in Singapore.

Among the star-studded attendees were Culpo’s sisters, Sophia and Aurora, along with celebrities like Becky G and Chrissy Teigen.

Kelce, sporting a casual white long-sleeve Chrome Hearts shirt, attempted to evade paparazzi by shielding his face with a black baseball cap.

As the night progressed, McCaffrey and Culpo exited the venue through the front entrance, while Kelce made his exit discreetly through the kitchen’s back entrance. Though leaving simultaneously, they departed in separate cars.

Have a met a couple of times in the past

This encounter adds to the limited interactions between the NFL players before their recent face-off.

“Fun Travis Kelce Story,” McCaffrey told the “B Scar TV Podcast” last November.

“I’ve met him twice. One was in passing over the Super Bowl a couple of years ago. Just like a, ‘Hey, what’s up, man?’

“The other, I was in New York. I was picking out Olivia’s [Culpo] ring. I was in New York by myself. I’d taken the train from Rhode Island to New York.

“So, I get off at Grand Central Station. I’m sitting on the corner right there. By myself, I’m looking for a cab because I’m going to the spot- I blend in well, I’m not like a get-the-black car- I’m taking the train. I’ll get in a cab and get to my destination just fine.

“It took me a while. I’m in New York. It’s busy. I’m standing on the side of the road, and all of a sudden, I hear, ‘C-Mac! C-Mac!’ I was like, ‘What the hell is that?’

“That’s when Travis was shooting SNL, so he’s riding in the car, he’s in the back of a black car, and he rolls the window down, and he’s like, ‘C-Mac! C-Mac!’ And I was like, ‘Yeah!’ And that was it.

“That was the only other time I’ve ever met him. Ever since then, I’m like, ‘That’s the coolest guy ever.’ I knew him as much as someone I’d only met once. So much energy out of the window, I was like, ‘I f–cking love that guy.’ Great energy. Authentic, that’s who he is.”
