KANSAS City Chiefs star tight end Travis Kelce was curiously absent from the team's offseason practice this week.

Kelce didn't appear at the Chiefs' organized team activities on Wednesday after having a romantic break with his girlfriend and music icon Taylor Swift in Italy last week.

Reporters couldn't spot Kelce at Kansas City's practice on Wednesday.

The 34-year-old three-time Super Bowl champion's decision to not make an appearance at the voluntary practice raised a few eyebrows both inside and outside of the Chiefs' organization.

Kelce's star teammate Patrick Mahomes took part in Wednesday's work.

Yet, it was revealed by the Chiefs' website on the same day that Kelce was in attendance at Monday's practice.

The eight-time Pro Bowl was seen in action alongside the team's newly acquired wideout Marquise Brown.

Kelce's appearance on Monday came after a weekend of partying at his own music festival, called Kelce Jam, in Kansas City.

Mahomes and rappers Lil Wayne and 2 Chainz made an appearance.

Before that, Kelce had a getaway with Swift in Lake Como, Italy.

The couple was spotted enjoying a boat ride and a lavish candlelit dinner.

Swift has been in Europe as she continues her Eras Tour.

Kelce was seen supporting the 14-time Grammy winner during one of the concerts in Paris.

During the offseason, Kelce signed an updated two-year contract worth up to $34.3 million.

Recently, he revealed that he wants to stay in the NFL for the foreseeable future and earn six Super Bowl rings - the same amount of titles that Michael Jordan won in his iconic basketball career.

"Three more? Give me as many rings as Jordan's got, baby," Kelce said in an interview with Zen Water.

"That feeling in the end zone is the greatest feeling, hoisting that trophy at the end, that's the Mecca right there."

"Vince Lombardi (the Super Bowl trophy) at the end of the year with my teammates and my coaches and the fanbase in Kansas City, that's what I've got my mind set on.

"Three more, here we come."
