Travis Kelce, the boyfriend of Taylor Swift, was praised by NFL star David Njoku as “the purest dude I’ve ever met” following his attendance at a charity softball event hosted by the Cleveland Browns tight end over the weekend.
Kelce, a former baseball player in his high school days, joined Njoku and other teammates, including Myles Garrett, Nick Chubb, Deshaun Watson, and Amari Cooper, at Classic Park in Eastlake, Ohio, a suburb of Cleveland, for the charity game.
Before the main event, Kelce showcased his batting prowess by winning the home run derby, thrilling the hometown crowd with a final swing that secured his victory. He celebrated by flipping his bat and taking a victory lap around the bases.
“He is one of the purest human beings I have ever met in my life. He always means well. Just a great overall dude,” Njoku told reporters after the high-profile local event, expressing his admiration for Kelce.

The three-time Super Bowl champion was seen embracing children from the winning team after receiving a trophy for his impressive batting performance. He adorably addressed a little girl, saying, “What’s up, gorgeous? It’s nice to see you!”
Over the years, Kelce has developed a close relationship with Njoku, who has attended his offseason Tight End University events. Additionally, Kelce has been a long-time supporter of Cleveland’s baseball team, the Guardians, and even threw out an ill-fated ceremonial first pitch last year, spiking the ball like a football.

Travis Kelce’s girlfriend, Taylor Swift, was performing in Scotland during the charity game.
Kelce has had a busy offseason, participating in the Chiefs’ organized team activities and visiting the White House when the Super Bowl champions were hosted by President Joe Biden.
Meanwhile, his girlfriend, popstar Taylor Swift, is currently in the midst of a series of concerts in Scotland this weekend. She will continue her UK tour with shows in Liverpool and Cardiff before heading to London and Dublin.
