Patrick Mahomes and his wife Brittany were among the stars who descended on Kansas City for teammate and close friend Travis Kelce’s charity event on Saturday, but the quarterback’s attention was seemingly elsewhere.
The Chiefs star showed his support for his teammate’s Kelce Car Jam as he celebrated his 35th birthday this weekend.
But Mahomes had another goal Saturday night at the charity event.
The Kansas City Royals opened their ALDS series against the New York Yankees as playoff baseball returned to the Bronx.
And Kelce revealed that Mahomes, a huge Royals fan, anxiously watched their fellow Kansas City sports team at the charity event.

“We’ve got Pat Mahomes in there somewhere,” Kelce said from the stage. “He’s glued to his Royals at the moment.”
While Kelce’s event was a success, the same couldn’t be said for the Royals. In a tight, dramatic thriller in New York, Kansas City slid to a 6-5 loss in the opening game of the series.
Game 2 will be played Monday night in the Bronx, when Bobby Witt Jr. and co. will hope to even the series before returning to Kansas City.
Meanwhile, proceeds from the charity block party will go to Kelce’s 87 & Running Foundation, which raises money for children in Kansas City and Cleveland.
Patrick and Brittany were on hand to show their support at the second annual Kelce Car Jam, a showcase of fancy cars from the Chiefs star and his friends.
The Chiefs quarterback is good friends with his tight end, while Brittany has bonded with Kelce’s girlfriend Taylor Swift over the past year.

The couple was greeted by dozens of fans as they arrived at the charity event in Kansas City.
Kelce and Mahomes return to the field on Monday when the Chiefs take on the New Orleans Saints at Arrowhead Stadium.
It will be the first time Jason Kelce has called a game involving his younger brother since the former Eagles center joined ESPN as an NFL analyst.
Jason and his parents, Donna and Ed Kelce, arrived at the charity event shortly before Mahomes. Kansas City defensive end George Karlaftis was also spotted at Kelce Car Jam.

Patrick and Brittany Mahomes arrived in a black Ferrari, but Kelce planned to show off the 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle he drove Swift around Kansas City last year.
“This year is the second year we’re hosting a car show, basically a block party style event, where some of the city’s best cars from the Fuel House, a fun car club here, will be on display,” Kelce said.
“And then I think there’s a lot of others lining up. It’s going to be fun. I should have my old ’70 Chevelle all revved up, ready to rock’n’roll. If not, I’ll take one of the other cars I have.”
Kelce and Swift have had several double dates, including at last month’s US Open final, when the two couples watched Jannik Sinner beat Taylor Fritz in the men’s final at Flushing Meadows.
