Travis Kelce's father, Ed Kelce, expressed his enthusiasm for his son's impending marriage to Taylor Swift, calling the pop sensation a "sweetheart" and "truly the girl next door."
The wedding is reportedly scheduled for early July, with initial reports suggesting a large reception at New York City's Madison Square Garden for approximately 1,000 guests. Further details indicate a more intimate gathering for about 100 close friends and family on July 2, followed by a larger celebration on July 3.
Permits have been filed to close streets around Madison Square Garden from July 2 to midday July 4, to accommodate tents, canopies, and trucks, fueling speculation that the venue is indeed the chosen location for the high-profile event.
While Ed Kelce refrained from divulging specific wedding details, he shared his happiness about the union. Attendees are expected to include numerous celebrities, with potential guests like Selena Gomez, Benny Blanco, Karlie Kloss, Cara Delevingne, Zoe Kravitz, Ed Sheeran, Suki Waterhouse, Robert Pattinson, and the Haim sisters.
NFL colleagues are also anticipated, with San Francisco 49ers player George Kittle confirming his invitation. Kittle mentioned that the couple has requested no gifts, though he is considering a unique present for Travis, who he noted likes old coins.
In personal news, Ed Kelce recently sparked romance rumors by posting a picture of Doree Hepner on social media, accompanying it with a positive caption.
Ed Kelce was previously married to Donna Kelce, the mother of Travis and his brother Jason. Following their divorce, he was in a long-term relationship with Maureen Maguire, who passed away last year at the age of 74. Ed Kelce shared an obituary honoring her memory.
