Ed Kelce has spoken out about his son Travis Kelce’s engagement to Taylor Swift.
The pop icon and the NFL star, both 35, who have been dating for two years, officially revealed their marriage news on Tuesday with a romantic photoshoot showing Kelce proposing in a rose garden.
Ed made an appearance on Channel Nine’s breakfast program, The Today Show, on Wednesday morning to share new details about their engagement.
He said the proposal happened a few weeks ago after ‘several weeks of prodding from myself and Scott Swift.’
‘He wanted to make it special… Travis’ mother and Taylor’s parents have all expected this for a little while,’ he said.
‘They’re just so good together, and they’re just so happy. I haven’t seen him happier.’

Ed also confirmed Travis and Taylor haven’t decided when they will be tying the knot yet.
The couple sent fans into a frenzy when they announced their engagement on Tuesday after a secret proposal two weeks ago.
Taylor captioned the post: ‘Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married.’
The Grammy winner also revealed her jaw-dropping diamond engagement ring in the post – the stunning band is an Old Mine Brilliant Cut and appears to be from Kindred Lubeck at Artifex Fine Jewelry. It is worth an estimated $675,000 to $1 million.
The star shared the post on her Instagram, set to the ballad So High School, which is about her enduring love for Travis.
The couple went public with their relationship in September 2023 when the singer appeared alongside Travis’ mother, Donna, at a Kansas City Chiefs game.
Since that day, their romance has captivated the world, with Taylor supporting Travis’ run to two Super Bowls while the NFL star has travelled alongside her around the globe on her wildly successful Eras tour.
The sports star’s close friend Patrick Mahomes was quick to congratulate the couple, sharing Taylor’s post on Instagram with three heart emojis.
