Ed Kelce Reveals: Travis Proposed to Taylor Swift at Home Just Two Weeks Ago!
In a heartwarming revelation, Ed Kelce, father of NFL star Travis Kelce, shared the delightful details of his son’s romantic proposal to pop sensation Taylor Swift. During an interview with News 5’s John Kosich, Ed disclosed that the proposal took place at Travis’s home “maybe two weeks, not quite two weeks ago.”
Travis had initially planned to wait a bit longer, wanting to create a grand event for the proposal. However, Ed encouraged him, saying, “You could do it on the side of the road, do it any place that makes it a special event… when you get down on one knee and ask her to marry you.” Taking his father’s advice to heart, Travis decided to pop the question just before dinner, suggesting they step outside for a glass of wine. It was in that intimate moment that he asked Taylor to marry him, and Ed described it as “beautiful.”

After the proposal, excitement filled the air as the couple FaceTimed Ed and their families to share the joyous news. Ed recounted, “I got a FaceTime call from them, and as soon as I saw Taylor there with him, I knew what they were going to say.” Their happiness was palpable, and Ed felt immense joy seeing them together.
Just days after the engagement, Ed supported Travis at the premiere of ESPN’s “The Kingdom,” where he and Travis’s mother enjoyed a lovely dinner prepared by Taylor. Ed remarked on the chemistry between the couple, saying, “It was wonderful to just watch the two of them, just crazy about each other.”
The couple, both 35, announced their engagement on Instagram on August 26, with Swift playfully writing, “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married 🧨,” alongside enchanting photos from their garden proposal. The ring, a stunning Old Mine Brilliant Cut diamond designed with the help of jewelry designer Kindred Lubeck, showcased the love and thoughtfulness Travis put into this special moment.
Their love story has been a captivating journey, starting with their first meeting in 2023 and Travis’s public date proposal involving a failed attempt to give Swift a friendship bracelet with his phone number. Swift humorously likened Travis’s efforts to win her over to an ” ’80s John Hughes movie,” recalling how he seemed to be saying, “I want to date you! Do you want to go on a date with me?”
For the romantic occasion, Swift wore a breathtaking Ralph Lauren Striped Silk-Blend Dress, complemented by tan sandal heels and elegant gold jewelry. Her signature glam included a nude manicure and a classic red lip, while Travis opted for a casual yet stylish navy blue shirt and off-white shorts.
The engagement announcement sparked a wave of congratulations from celebrity friends. Gracie Hunt, daughter of Chiefs Chairman Clark Hunt, expressed her joy, calling their love story a “modern fairytale.” Patrick and Brittany Mahomes also shared their excitement, praising the genuine love between Travis and Taylor.
Ed Kelce revealed that he had known about Travis’s plans for months, stating, “They’re just two young people very much in love, cast in a spotlight that they really haven’t sought but kind of followed with their success in their respective fields.” As the couple steps into this new chapter of their lives, their love story continues to enchant fans around the world, proving that true love knows no bounds.
