Ed Kelce, the father of NFL star Travis Kelce, has reportedly found a new romantic partner, Doree Hepner. Hepner, a 64-year-old singer and vocal coach, lives near Kelce in Ardmore, Pennsylvania. The relationship appears to be progressing, with Kelce having met at least one of Hepner's children.
Kelce, 74, has been seen publicly with Hepner, who he described as 'dynamic and gorgeous' in a social media post. The couple has been observed enjoying evenings out at local venues. Recently, Kelce shared a photo of Hepner's son Dylan and daughter-in-law Maizy performing with their band, Hepner's Rebellion.
Hepner is reportedly a fan of Travis Kelce's girlfriend, pop superstar Taylor Swift. In a social media exchange unearthed by the Daily Mail, Hepner responded to a friend's comment about Swift by stating she was "Swifting Out."
Ed Kelce divorced Travis's mother, Donna Kelce, after approximately 25 years of marriage. Donna Kelce, 73, remains on amicable terms with her ex-husband and has also been seen supporting their sons at public events. Ed Kelce's long-term partner after Donna, Maureen Maguire, passed away in August at the age of 74. Hepner's husband, David, died from colon cancer in 2013.
Swift and Maguire had reportedly shared a warm relationship, with Ed Kelce previously sharing photographs of them together wearing Kansas City Chiefs attire. Maguire had also playfully referred to Swift as "my boyfriend" when the singer took a selfie with Ed Kelce at an NFL game.
Ed and Donna Kelce raised their sons, Travis and Jason, in Cleveland Heights, Ohio. Despite their divorce, they continue to co-parent and support their sons' careers. Speculation about Travis Kelce's wedding to Taylor Swift continues, with various reports suggesting potential venues and dates for the ceremony.
