Apparently it only takes a few months to completely transform into a full-blown Florida Man.

On Tuesday morning, GQ magazine dropped its interview with Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, featuring a photo shoot in the Everglades, the Miami Marine Stadium, and in the ocean at The Boca Raton’s Beach Club. That includes cuddling with an alligator and python, riding a flyboard, and lounging on an airboat all while donning a cowboy hat, leather jacket, and a safety vest.

You know, Florida things.

The resort has been a photo shoot hot spot lately; the Olympic athletes for Sports Illustrated’s swimsuit issue were photographed there last winter.

It’s been a busy few days for Taylor Swift and Kelce stans, as the power couple (who have been spending the summer right here in Boca Raton) also announced Swift’s new album and her appearance on Kelce’s podcast. Swift shared at 12:12 p.m. Tuesday afternoon the release of her 12th album, “The Life of a Showgirl,” and teased her appearance on the Kelce brothers’ “New Heights” podcast. The episode dropped Wednesday.

Kelce made waves this spring when it was revealed he was renting a property in Boca Raton, and over the summer there’s been sightings of the couple and their family at RH Outlet in Mizner Park, date nights at Buccan and Harry’s in West Palm Beach, and training at Johnny O’s Gymnasium.

With part-time residents returning to South Florida, we can only hope our new neighbors will hang out longer between games this football season.
