Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift going out near his Ohio hometown hits different.
After the loved-up couple were photographed having lunch at JoJo’s Bar in Chagrin Falls on Tuesday, a restaurant manager gushed to People about the “wonderful” date.
“They had a great lunch, enjoyed our food and were really impressed with the team,” John Ponyicky told the outlet. “Travis grew up in Cleveland Heights, so he decided to visit somewhere he was familiar with.”
The employee called Kelce and Swift, both 35, “really pleasant” customers.
“They sat at the bar for a bit, but also had a private lunch in a private room,” he continued. “Taylor and Travis … had a wonderful time.”
Photos of the pair circulated via X, showing Kelce seated with his back to the camera in a striped blue T-shirt.
The pop star, for her part, rocked a loose white top and a pleated tan skirt while wearing her hair in a ponytail.
Social media users raved over the low-key date, with one gushing, “Well this is just really f–king cute.”
Another noted, “We have seen her out more in this last year than in the last 10 I’m so happy for her.”
The outing came one day after Kelce attended the Alex’s Way charity golf tournament at the Sand Ridge Golf Club in Chardon, Ohio.
The tight end’s NFL offseason — combined with Swift wrapping her years-long Eras Tour last year — has reportedly led to “a turning point in their relationship in a lot of ways.”
A source told People that the duo is “incredibly happy and in sync,” adding, “There’s a calmness and ease to their relationship right now that’s been really grounding for Taylor and Travis.”
“Soaking up every minute of this slower season” with “rare … downtime” has “really allowed their bond to deepen,” the insider shared.
“They’ve been splitting their time between New York, Nashville and a few quiet getaways, just enjoying each other’s company without all the usual chaos,” according to the outlet.
Kelce and Swift became an item in the summer of 2023, with the tight end going viral Tuesday for revealing the one aspect of their high-profile romance that he “miscalculate[d]” — the paparazzi.
“I’m just playing golf and all of the sudden in the trees there’s just a f–king guy with a camera,” he explained to “Bussin’ With the Boys” podcast listeners. “I can’t just go over here and take a piss.”
The Kansas City Chiefs player quipped, “Just don’t want my meat on Page Six, know what I mean?”
