Just in : Fans of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce were able to breathe a sigh of relief when a leaked ‘contract’ revealing the exact day of their split was denounced as fake…

As the document, apparently printed on the headed paper of his US PR company circulated online, Mr Kelce called in the lawyers – and yet, though the break up announcement never materialised, the public haven’t seen them out together since the date listed on the piece of paper.

The billionaire pop star, 34, was last seen supporting the Kansas City Chief tight end at Arrowhead Stadium on September 24 as his team took on the Chicago Bears – four days before the alleged break up date.

In the time that they’ve apparently spent apart, Taylor missed Travis’s 35th birthday celebrations over the weekend – a surprising absence given their PDA-packed display at the US Open at the start of the month.

While it’s likely that the singer is rehearsing for the Miami leg of her Eras Tour set this month, Taylor’s absence from Travis’s birthday has fuelled speculation among fans, but according to Travis, the pair will publicly reunite today when the Chiefs take on the New Orleans Saints.

When the document spread online alleging that the couple had plans to split last month, Travis’s representatives were forced to deny the claims.

The paperwork, which appeared to have been created by Los Angeles-based firm Full Scope, revealed a strategy to make their split, and said the date for an announcement was September 28.

It also outlined a supposed plan to release an official statement at the end of last month – three days ‘post-break up’ to ‘allow the initial media frenzy to settle and ensure clarity’.

It added that the announcement will be ‘gracious, respectful and stress mutual respect’.

Laying out what the statement would say, they write: ‘Example: Travis and Taylor have decided to part ways after careful consideration. They both value and respect each other’s personal lives and appreciate your respect for privacy during this time.

‘They are both committed to their careers and personal growth. They remain friends and wish each other the best.’

The paperwork also stated that the announcement would focus on Travis’ ‘personal growth’ by framing the breakup as a ‘natural part of life’. It would also highlight his commitment to his career and his ongoing achievements in the sports industry.’
