Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey appeared to have a pleasant run-in at Nobu in Malibu on Wednesday, just two weeks after Kansas City became repeat champions in a 25-22 overtime win against San Francisco in Super Bowl 2024.
The NFL stars, along with McCaffrey’s fiancée, model Olivia Culpo, were photographed leaving separately.
It’s unclear if they interacted while inside the celebrity hotspot.
Kelce, 34, arrived at Nobu around 8 p.m., around the time McCaffrey, 27, and Culpo, 31, got there, according to TMZ, which reported the Chiefs star was indeed “rolling with the crew.”
Kelce was photographed solo as his girlfriend, pop superstar Taylor Swift, is scheduled to perform in Singapore this weekend and next as part of her blockbuster Eras Tour.
Culpo and her sisters, Sophia and Aurora, also attended an invite-only event at Nobu that night for the launch of Dolce Glow self-tanner becoming available in Ulta Beauty stores.
Singer Becky G was in attendance, as well as models Chrissy Teigen and Kristen Louelle.
McCaffrey and the Culpo sisters reportedly left the restaurant around midnight, the same time as Kelce, who exited through the kitchen in an effort to escape the paparazzi.
It’s unclear if Kelce and McCaffrey are close friends, as the 49ers All-Pro said last November that he met Kelce for the first time during the 2023 offseason.
McCaffrey and Culpo are set to tie the knot in her native Rhode Island sometime this summer — and perhaps Kelce and Swift will make the guest list.
The three-time Super Bowl champ recently visited Swift, 34, in Sydney, Australia, where she performed four Eras Tour shows.
Kelce and Swift’s whirlwind romance dominated sports and pop culture during the 2023 season and generated millions for the NFL.
Kelce and Swift began dating last summer and went public with their relationship in October, when they were seen holding hands while out together in New York City.
Dave Merritt, a defensive backs coach for the Kansas City Chiefs, recently revealed that Swift attended Kelce’s games quietly before she was spotted at one for the first time on Sept. 24, 2023, when the Chiefs demolished the Bears 41-10 at Arrowhead Stadium.
She celebrated with Kelce in Las Vegas earlier this month following the Chiefs’ latest Super Bowl victory.
