Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have been spotted out in public together for the first time in months, reportedly joining Jason, Kylie and both of their moms for a heartwarming Mother’s Day lunch in Philadelphia.
Taylor was all smiles and held Travis’ hand as they arrived at Talula’s Garden for the meal in Washington Square, Philadelphia on Sunday afternoon, according to various social media reports.
Their shock arrival is said to have stunned diners at the popular farm-to-table restaurant, but Taylor grinned from ear-to-ear as she walked in for the Mother’s Day meal with both sides of the family.
According to the TikTok user who shared the photos of the pair, both Taylor’s mom Andrea and Travis’ mom Donna were present, though neither were pictured.
Travis’ brother Jason and his wife Kylie were also said to be there for a big family affair, and Taylor’s first public appearance alongside Travis in two months.
NFL icon Travis sported a longer haircut for the rare public sighting, after spending the last few weeks holed up in Boca Raton working hard in the NFL offseason.

Travis and Taylor have not been spotted together publicly since a dinner date in New York City back in March.
They visited Del Frisco’s Grille in Lower Manhattan, but then went to ground and have been keeping a very low profile, despite their relatively bare schedules.
Travis is currently deep in the NFL offseason and preparing for another year with the Kansas City Chiefs, while Taylor has finished her sold-out worldwide Eras Tour.
Many expected the pair to attend the Met Gala in New York last week, but they opted against an appearance in the spotlight.
Taylor was thrust into the news unexpectedly last week when she was on the receiving end of a subpoena in the Justin Baldoni-Blake Likely lawsuit.
Donna Kelce was on Jason and Travis’ New Heights podcast last week, and a comment she made about Mother’s Day has gone viral since Sunday’s sighting.
In a potential nod to their upcoming lunch date, Donna responded to a question about what mothers want most on Mother’s Day by saying: ‘They want to be with their children, which doesn’t happen often when they’re older! It’s time, that’s basically it.’
While Travis and Taylor have not been seen much publicly, sources have revealed that they have been making the most of their time together, regularly traveling – and avoiding the spotlight in the process.
An insider told People: ‘They have been traveling nonstop and very much enjoying it. They are making the most of their time off together. They are hanging out with friends too. It’s a special time for them!’
Sunday’s lunch reportedly took place at Talula’s Garden in Philadelphia, which was recently described as ‘the toughest table in America’, such is the difficulty in getting a table.
Per the restaurant’s website, they host nightly 12-person tastings, courtesy of award-winning restauranteur Aimee Olexy.
Despite its exclusivity, the food is well-priced, with Sunday’s brunch menu featuring a southern style shrimp and grits for $25, southern peach pancakes for $22, and buttermilk fried chicken and waffle for $24.
Eagle-eyed Swifties were also sent into meltdown by the dessert menu, titled ‘Sweet Nothings’ – very similar to a 2022 song by Taylor Swift herself.
Intriguingly, every dessert on the menu is $13 – Swift’s favorite number.
