Travis Kelce<\/a> is considering his next career move amid rumors he’s set to retire from the Kansas City Chiefs. Speaking to reporters earlier this month, the football star<\/a> still seemed undecided as to whether or not this will be his final NFL season.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019ve got so much love for this team, this organization and the people here, so I\u2019ll spend some time with them, go through exit meetings tomorrow and get close to the family and figure things out,” Kelce shared<\/a> after the Chiefs were defeated by the Las Vegas Raiders on January 4.<\/p>\n

The athlete also brought up the possibility of retirement on his podcast “New Heights” just weeks ago.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think if my body can heal up and rest up and I can feel confident that I can go out there and give it another 18, 20, 21-week run, I think I would do it in a heartbeat,\u201d he said in a January 7 episode. \u201cI think right now it\u2019s just finding that answer and seeing how the body feels after this game and when it all settles down.\u201d<\/p>\n

Notably, Kelce is set to tie the knot with fianc\u00e9e Taylor Swift this year. Their rumored<\/a> wedding venue was leaked to Page Six\u00a0in December. The outlet revealed that\u00a0the couple<\/a>\u00a0plans to marry at the\u00a0Ocean House<\/a>\u00a0in Watch Hill,\u00a0Rhode Island<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The luxurious 5-star resort first opened in 1868, though it was remodeled as recently as 2004. Erected in a classic Victorian style, the yellow estate sits on 13 acres of land, which includes a putting green, a croquet lawn, and a chapel. With 49 guest rooms and 20 suites, Ocean House also offers direct access to a white-sand beach, complete with cabanas.<\/p>\n

It was previously reported that Swift and Kelce were considering Rhode Island as a venue\u2014Swift’s own Watch Hill mansion was floated as a potential location, though the couple recently decided to expand their guest list, causing them to change course.<\/p>\n

In November, Page Six<\/a>\u00a0revealed that the couple is considering having a much larger guest list than they originally anticipated.<\/p>\n

Sources told the outlet that Kelce “is still close with many of his childhood friends from Cleveland, Ohio, plus he has a lot of teammates and NFL pals.”<\/p>\n
