Travis and Jason Kelce's Father, Ed, Announces Loss of Loved One – Details

The father of two prominent football players shared a personal update that drew attention after posting a captionless link on social media.

Ed Kelce, father of NFL stars Travis and Jason Kelce, announced a personal loss on August 3, 2025. He shared an obituary on Facebook, making the news public.

According to obituary information from Stretch Funeral Home, Ed's girlfriend, Maureen Ann Maguire, died peacefully surrounded by her family. She was 74.

She was born on November 21, 1950, in the Bronx, New York, and later settled in the suburbs of Philadelphia, where she built a home centered on family and tradition.

Maureen graduated from Archbishop Prendergast High School in 1968 and earned a degree in education from West Chester University in 1972. She began her career as an elementary school teacher before dedicating herself to raising her family.

She is survived by her three children, six grandchildren, her sister Loretta O'Brien, and her brother John Bullock. She was preceded in death by her husband, Daniel J. Maguire Jr., her parents, Howard and Cecilia Bullock, and her brother, Howie.

Maureen's obituary also highlighted her love for the beach, her fondness for family gatherings, and the passion for football she developed later in life, which she shared with Ed.

The obituary invited Maureen's family and friends to visit on Thursday, August 7, from 10 to 10:45 a.m. at St. John Vianney Church, 350 Conshohocken State Road, Gladwyne, Pa. A funeral Mass will follow at 11 a.m., with a private burial afterward.

Ed has also spoken warmly of Maureen, often sharing stories that highlighted her easygoing nature. In February 2024, the Los Angeles Times reported that she had a playful exchange with Travis's girlfriend, pop star Taylor Swift, during a game day.

When Taylor posed for a photo with Ed, Maureen joked, "Hey, that's my boyfriend," prompting the acclaimed musician to laugh and switch to a more father-daughter pose.

Ed also shared how Maureen once helped him identify the "Anti-Hero" singer. During an interview with Andy Baskin and Jeff Phelps in January 2024, he explained that before home games, Travis often invites a large group of friends to his house, many of whom Ed doesn't always recognize.

During one of those gatherings, Taylor arrived with her security guard. It was the first time Ed met her, and recalled turning to Maureen and admitting, "Oh my god, I know this kid but I don't know what her name is...geez....you know...like a real idiot." She laughed and teased him, "You don't know her? That's Taylor Swift, you idiot."

Beyond his relationship with Maureen, Ed has also reflected on his family life and how it shaped him as a father. In the 2023 Prime Video documentary "Kelce," he and his former wife, Donna Kelce, revealed that they remained married for nearly 25 years for the sake of their sons.

Staying married was largely a practical decision. Ed said, "If we had split as we probably both would have preferred, that would have been a nightmare with the logistics, getting kids where they had to be and providing all the support." Donna added that keeping the family together while parenting was "tough."

Travis noticed his parents' dynamic growing up. He realized their relationship was different from others, especially when he saw they did not share a bedroom like most couples.

The Kansas City Chiefs star added, "I started making those connections when I was in middle school and I realized that they were probably gonna split. But they stayed together for me and Jason's benefit I believe."

Even as his dad's reflections offer a glimpse into his private world, public attention remains firmly fixed on Travis and Taylor, whose date night on June 22 set the internet abuzz. Some described her outfit as "model off duty," while others wondered if she had "dressed in the dark."

The pop star and the NFL player tight end were photographed leaving a New York City restaurant after having a Michelin-starred meal at Torrisi, holding hands as they stepped into the night.

Taylor wore a scoop-neck corset in sweet cornflower blue and a pale pink poplin mini-skirt. She styled her look with a cream mini cloud cross-body bag and heels in a similar creamy tone.

The pop icon added a diamond watch, finishing her outfit with an opal necklace and gold chains, with a bow and arrow pendant. Taylor kept her signature red lip and wore her hair long and loose with a thick set of bangs.

Travis also stepped out in summer clothes. He wore a pale blue and navy collared U.S. soccer polo shirt, with cream linen bermuda shorts, white sneakers, and white socks.

The outfit quickly set social media ablaze, leaving their fan base with mixed reactions. An Instagram user echoed the discomfort theme, writing, "She dresses like a tween. And no matter what always looks like she was dressed in the dark [sic]"

Another added, "She looks really uncomfortable in those shoes. I’ve seen videos and she can barely walk in them.[sic]"

Another Instagram user on DeuxMoi's post commented, "So weird with a 35 year old woman dressed like a 9 year old ballet dancer. But I am guessing that’s her fanbase. [sic]"

Another chimed in with praise, saying, "I love her outfit, very model off duty ... also her legs are crazy 😮❤️" But the reactions were far from one-sided. One skeptical user asked bluntly, "Is that a pajama skirt?!"

Over on Reddit, fans and users continued dissecting the look and Taylor's apparent struggle with the shoes. One observed, "I think she was wearing horribly uncomfortable shoes and had trouble walking in them [sic]"

Another noted, "Right! All that dancing on stage and touring. Nice runner looking legs, healthy."

One detailed comment read, "Yes, in the photos of them leaving you can see how red her feet are lol. The shoes definitely didn’t fit her properly. She probably had a drink or two at dinner because why not but her feet look painful too. [sic]"

A final user concludes, "Both their legs look amazing but this is also giving 'learning how to walk [sic]'"

Still, the online buzz isn't limited to her shoes or skirt. Back in May, the couple was spotted on a date night in West Palm Beach, Florida. Many fans couldn't help but speculate about what Taylor's outfit meant.

The singer wore a delicate white off-the-shoulder dress adorned with a soft floral pattern, paired with a black handbag. Travis kept it casual in a black-and-white patterned short-sleeve shirt, white pants, and a black cap.

The couple's stylish appearance quickly caught attention, not just for fashion, but for what many believed it hinted at. Online, fans shared their thoughts, with several suggesting the singer might be expecting.

"That is a pregnancy belly," one comment read, while another simply said, "I think she is pregnant, wow." A third person added, "She's giving pregnant vibes…"

Amid the speculation, others praised her look. "She looks so good omg," one admirer wrote. Some stayed focused on the possible news, calling it "pregnant vibes," while another viewer remarked, "They are giving husband wife/ spouses."

Likewise, the couple also turned heads in March, when they had a quiet dinner at Del Frisco's Grille in New York City, adding to the pregnancy speculations.

That evening, the songwriter wore an oversized gray blazer-style jacket, paired with sky-high maroon heels and a black handbag. The NFL star, seen beside her, sported a laid-back look with light blue jeans and a loose button-up shirt.

Online reactions followed quickly. "Baby bump," one person noted, while another wrote, "She's preggers y'all 😍." A third pointed out, "Maybe she's pregnant… being that sneaky and wearing a big jacket." Someone else joined in with, "I think she is pregnant."

Others had different takes. "Maybe they were on their honeymoon," a comment read, while another added, "I think they're planning the secret wedding." One fan focused on their style instead, sharing, "The matching outfits❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️."

Whether it's a daring skirt, a bold heel, or a softly draped floral dress, every step Taylor takes with Travis seems to spark more than just flashbulbs. It ignites fresh speculation, unending fan theories, and a cultural obsession that shows no signs of slowing down.
