It’s been a month and two days since Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce married world-famous pop star Taylor Swift in a lavish wedding ceremony at Madison Square Garden in New York City that shut down a large portion of Midtown Manhattan.

Kelce is with the rest of his Chiefs teammates at training camp, while Swift has kept a pretty low profile since the wedding.

“Taylor said she was happier than ever now that she is Mrs. Kelce and says their married life has been blissful so far,” a source told the Daily Mail. “She is a blissed-out wife who is focusing on the simple things in life. She has been spending her days lazing about as she cooks dinner and bakes bread for her new husband.”

As the couple navigate life as newlyweds, they have several decisions to now make together, including where they want to plant their roots and buy their first marital home.

Kelce, Swift Reportedly Targeting Neighborhood Home to Many A-Listers

According to a report from the Daily Mail, the couple plans to make Kelce’s Kansas City residence their “home base” but is also looking at a pretty pricey neighborhood in California — Montecito, an area home to several elite celebrities including Oprah Winfrey, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, Jennifer Aniston, Kevin Costner, Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom, among others.

The average cost to buy a house in Montecito is approximately $5.6 million (with an annual $57,000 property tax) while oceanfront properties range between $8.5 million to $10 million.

“They love how private it is and secluded,” a source told the Daily Mail.

The report also states Swift isn’t tied down to her New York or Los Angeles homes, and the couple is content on crashing at Kelce’s Kansas City pad in the interim while they look for their first home as a married couple.

“They don’t want it to feel like it’s Travis’s house that Taylor moved into,” a source told The Daily Mail about their plan for Kelce’s house. “They want a place that’s theirs from Day 1. This is their fresh start.

“They’re not building Taylor’s life or Travis's life anymore. They're building one life—together. They’ve done the long-distance thing, and it was hard. Now they’re married, Taylor’s going to be where Travis is. That’s home.”
