Travis Kelce’s Dad Had Sweet Comments About Son’s Relationship With Taylor Swift

Travis Kelce and his parents, Donna and Ed Kelce, were among those in attendance on the red carpet ahead of a screening of ESPN’s The Kingdom, a six-part series that followed the Chiefs’ attempt to win their third straight Super Bowl.

On the red carpet, Ed was asked about where his son’s happiness is coming from, and he quickly replied, “Taylor [Swift]. There’s no question about it. … They’re two people obviously very much in love.”

Ed and Donna both recently tuned into the special episode of his son’s podcast, New Heights, with Swift. He seems quite fond of the relationship Travis has developed with Swift.

“He’s enjoying it, she’s very good for him. I don’t hesitate in saying that in any point,” Ed added. “They are two people who truly deserve each other.”

“I think it was really eventful,” Donna said of the episode. “It was authentic, I think it was something that everyone was thrilled to see. … It was a very loving podcast.”

Along with his thoughts on Travis’s relationship with Swift, Ed detailed that he got to see Travis working out this offseason and is impressed with the shape he is in.

“I think you’re going to see one of the best seasons Travis has ever had. Travis is in incredible shape,” Ed said.

Travis will get the chance to prove his dad right when the Chiefs open up the regular season on Sep. 5 against the Chargers in São Paulo, Brazil.
