Travis Kelce has broken his own strict rule with other half Taylor Swift ahead of the Super Bowl.
Kelce and his Kansas City Chiefs team are vying for a third consecutive Super Bowl triumph in New Orleans on Sunday when they take on the Philadelphia Eagles in a repeat of the 2023 clash.
Since they started dating in the summer of 2023, pop sensation Swift has regularly been in attendance to watch boyfriend Kelce strut his stuff on the field despite being busy with a huge Eras tour.

She was present in a star-studded VIP suite with his family at last year's Super Bowl triumph in Las Vegas and will hoping for the same result at the Caesars Superdome.
Kelce and Swift were spotted out and about on Friday evening, enjoying a meal at uptown French bistro Lilette - said to be one of the "sexiest restaurants" in New Orleans according to Nola News, via Hello Magazine.
The pair dined in a private room, in line with their non-negotiables when eating out in public. Yet it was a change of approach from Kelce to be spending time with his other half close to the crunch clash, as last year in Las Vegas he stressed that he wouldn't be going out and about beforehand.
"We've got one week, we do what we need to do then we can party in Vegas for the rest of our lives," Travis said to brother Jason on their New Heights podcast before Super Bowl 58.
"Everybody is pretty motivated and locked in at the task at hand."
Emphasising the need to lay low and avoid distractions like gambling, he stated that he wouldn't be "going down the strip anytime until the game."
He tweaked things a little to enjoy an evening with his partner this time around, though their restaurant of choice was just 20 minutes from the Marriott Hotel the Chiefs are staying in.
However, NFL rules do stipulate that players can not stay with their significant others the night before a game - while they also have to adhere to a strict time curfew.
If Swift was to stay in the same hotel, even being the massive star she is, she would be required to sleep in a separate room.
Rumours about Kelce potentially announcing his retirement from the sport have been rife as he bids to win a fourth Super Bowl in six years.
Recent reports claim he is still undecided about whether he will continue next season.
