Kansas City Chiefs star is constantly looking to expand business interests and look beyond his NFL career
TRAVIS Kelce has fallen in love with Italy and wants to invest in a vineyard with mom Donna.
A well-placed source close to the Kelce family has told The U.S. Sun that wine-lover Donna would be “thrilled” to be the co-owner of a business in northern Italy.

We understand Travis and his advisors have been seeking out key players in the wine industry with the view of becoming involved themselves.
The three-time Super Bowl-winning tight-end, according to our insider, was “stunned” by the landscape, culture and beauty on offer in Italy during his recent trip to Lake Como with Taylor Swift.
DREAM DESTINATION
The U.S. Sun revealed last month the pair were looking at purchasing a love nest in the idyllic Italian region.
The Kelce’s, added the source, have been thinking about investing in a vineyard for several months, with mom Donna very excited about the prospect.
A figure of around $3.5 million has been floated to Travis’ advisors who have been “in negotiations with many owners and investors” as their plans begin to gather pace.
“Many people in the industry have been talking to them and would love to be business partners with the Kelce family,” the source confirmed to The U.S. Sun.
“They see just how famous Travis has become, being one of the faces in the NFL and Taylor becoming the most famous singer in the world.”
Travis recently signed a new, two-year deal with the Chiefs, and is desperate to bag a third Super Bowl ring on the spin.
But, having had his eyes opened by Taylor’s rise to the top of the entertainment industry, the 34-year-old is expanding his horizons on several fronts.
As reported by The U.S. Sun, he has invested in a $30 million steakhouse company with superstar Kansas quarter-back Patrick Mahomes and is looking to take his Kelce Jam music festival across the United States.

Sponsors, meanwhile, are queueing up to invest in his popular New Heights podcast with brother Jason, and Nike wants Travis to become the face of Asia.
EXCITING OPPORTUNITIES
His relationship with the Cruel Summer superstar singer has catapulted the NFL legend firmly into the mainstream, with Hollywood bosses also taking note.
Jason and Travis have been in discussions about an action movie with a $100 million budget, while The Rock has been on hand to lend some acting advice.
“Travis is always looking to diversify his portfolio of investments,” added the insider.
“On his next trip to Italy Donna will probably go with him. She dreams of being involved in the wine industry and that’s why Travis is pushing ahead with this. He wants to make her happy.”
