Travis Kelce’s Kansas City mansion burglarized of $20K in cash during Saints game, Patrick Mahomes’ house hit hours prior
Burglars reportedly targeted Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes’ mansions in Kansas City last month ahead of their Oct. 7 match-up against the New Orleans Saints.
According to a police record obtained by Page Six Tuesday, the burglary at Mahomes’ Belton, Mo., estate was reported by a bodyguard just after midnight on Oct. 6.
It’s unknown what — if anything — was stolen from the quarterback’s home.
The three-time Super Bowl champion, 29, was notably out celebrating Kelce’s 35th birthday on Oct. 5 in the hours leading up to the burglary.
It’s unclear if anyone was home during the break-in as Patrick lives with his pregnant wife, Brittany Mahomes, and their two kids — daughter Sterling, 3, and son Bronze, 1.
On Monday, Kelce’s massive Leawood, Kan., mansion was also broken into around 7:30 p.m. — shortly after kickoff against the Saints.
According to the police document obtained by TMZ, the burglars stole $20,000 in cash and damaged Kelce’s back door.
Sources told TMZ they believe the two attempts were connected to other similar crimes in the area.
The Cass County Sheriff’s Office could not provide any additional details as it is an ongoing investigation.
Although lots of Kelce’s family and friends were in town for his birthday, they were all likely at the game.
The tight end’s girlfriend, Taylor Swift, also notably flew into Kansas City for the festivities. Last month, sources told Page Six that Swift threw her beau a private party that Sunday.
At the time, a source told us that Swift and her father, Scott, took Kelce, his family and the Mahomeses out to a popular sushi spot.
We were told the intimate affair ended early as the NFL stars were prepping for their game the next day.
While it’s unclear where Swift was staying, Chiefs players are typically required to stay at their team hotel the night before each home game — meaning Kelce and Patrick may not have been home at the time of the break-ins.
Reps for Patrick and Kelce did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.
The legendary quarterback and his wife purchased their eight-acre property for $400,000 in 2020 and transformed it into a palatial mansion — complete with a basketball court, a par-3 golf hole and a 5-yard football field.
Kelce, for his part, upgraded his digs last year after his romance with the “Fortnight” singer became more serious.
At the time, Page Six confirmed the “New Heights” podcast host snapped up the $6 million mansion to give him and Swift more privacy.
The sense of security that comes with living in a gated community was reportedly a big selling point for Kelce.

Clay County Commissioner says he’s ‘done’ negotiating with Kansas City Royals
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Clay County Commissioner Jason Withington said Wednesday that he still loves baseball, but is “done” negotiating with the Royals on a new stadium for the team in the county.
According to Withington, Thursday, Jan. 8, was the deadline for the Royals to appear on the April 2026 ballot in the county.
Withington said the Royals told the county that they were not ready to meet that deadline.
Withington took to Facebook to explain that “the joy has been drained” out of him over the last few years and expressed his dislike towards the business of baseball.
He called negotiations with the team “a closed chapter” and said that the county is shifting its focus elsewhere.
“It’s time for the Commission to focus fully on priorities we control—either upgrading our existing county jail or building a new one,” Withington wrote.
The Royals’ lease at Kauffman Stadium in the Truman Sports Complex in Jackson County expires in January 2031.
KSHB 41’s political reporter Charlie Keegan reported in May 2025 on efforts by Missouri to keep both the Royals and Chiefs in Missouri.
While the Chiefs announced that they will move to a new stadium site in 2031 in Wyandotte County, the Royals have not announced their next steps to get a new ballpark built.
A stadium site near 119th Street and Nall Avenue in Overland Park has emerged as a possibility for a stadium site for the ball club.
Some residents in that area are not happy about that possibility.
KSHB 41 News reached out to the Royals for comment, but has not heard back.
