Comments From Ed Kelce Before Pairing of Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift Surface Online
In an Oct. 1 interview with First Class Fatherhood host Alec Lace, Ed Kelce was asked about his son’s love life.
Ed Kelce gave an honest take about where he believes his son really is, especially with his last relationship ending.
“He had a long-term relationship with just an absolutely lovely, wonderful young woman. He just isn’t ready to settle down,” Ed Kelce said. “Unfortunately, I think she was. I think she got tired of waiting. They ended up apart, and it is what it is.”

Donna Kelce then went from giving a succinct response to sharing a lengthier one about her feelings toward her son and Swift together.
“I don’t like to talk about it. It’s just one of those things where everyone saw me,” Donna Kelce said. “I was in the boxes with her. It’s another thing that’s amped up my life.”
