Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have made their first public appearance since saying "I do", emerging from their secluded honeymoon retreat as they touched down in California.
The newlyweds, who married last Friday in a spectacular ceremony at New York's Madison Square Garden, were filmed arriving at Bob Hope International Airport in Burbank on Thursday after several days of complete privacy in Montana.
Determined to stay out of the spotlight, the couple were shielded by a sea of black umbrellas as they disembarked Taylor's private jet before climbing into a waiting convoy of vehicles, believed to be heading to the singer's Beverly Hills home.

The elite members-only resort has long been a favourite destination for high-profile figures including Bill Gates, Tom Brady and Mark Zuckerberg, offering the couple the rare luxury of complete privacy.

Their return to California isn't expected to last long. The couple are believed to be taking a brief break from their honeymoon to attend the wedding of Travis' close friend and former Kansas City Chiefs teammate JuJu Smith-Schuster, who is set to marry fitness influencer Laura Kruk at the Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel, on Saturday.
