Travis Kelce is still ‘really bothered’ by the horror break-in at his $6million Kansas City mansion last year, it has emerged with the Chiefs star overhauling his security.
The Chiefs star, who is gearing up for next weekend’s Super Bowl in New Orleans, has spent $9,000 on two guard dogs, installed 10 cameras and new lights and movement detectors at a cost of $40,000, according to The Sun.
Kelce lost $100,000 in jewelry, $20,000 in cash, his first ever Super Bowl jersey and a watch that police found in Providence, Rhode Island in November after the October break-in.
And while the 35-year-old, who is dating Taylor Swift, couldn’t be having things any better on the football field as he bids for an historic Super Bowl ‘three-peat’ next week, he is still troubled by what happened at his home last year.
A source was quoted as described Kelce as ‘still really bothered’, adding: ‘Travis felt the urgency of taking care of this situation as soon as possible. It was very uncomfortable to deal with.
‘Travis decided to do things the best way, investing money on alarms and security personnel and dogs to put himself in the safest situation possible. All he wants is to be safe.

Kelce’s teammate, Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, also had his home broken into the same day.
The NFL has sent a warning to every team that an international crime ring could be behind the break-ins, which have impacted players far beyond the Chiefs.
The FBI is investigating the crime wave which has also seen Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow and NBA star Luka Doncic, of the Dallas Mavericks, targeted.
Kelce has not spoken publicly about the incident, while Mahomes didn’t have much to say himself when he was quizzed about it at a press conference.
‘It’s frustrating, it’s disappointing,’ he said. ‘I can’t get into too many details because the investigation is still ongoing.
‘It’s obviously something you don’t want happening to anybody, but especially yourself.’
Kelce purchased his mansion in October 2023, just a month after his relationship with Swift became public news when she watched him play against the Chicago Bears at Arrowhead Stadium.

At the time, it was reported that Kelce felt uneasy with how accessible his previous home was and felt a need for more privacy.
Kelce’s relationship with Swift also apparently factored into the decision to move house, with the mansion being in a gated community appealing to Kelce for its safety.
The Chiefs fly to New Orleans on Sunday, meaning Kelce will be away from home for about a week.
Victory for the Chiefs over the Philadelphia Eagles will make Kelce and his team the first in the Super Bowl era to win three straight тιтles.
