Kelce family in mourning as Ed Kelce's partner dies

Ed Kelce, the father of Travis and Jason, has announced the death of his partner, Maureen Maguire. 

Kelce shared an obituary on his Facebook page on Saturday afternoon announcing that she had pᴀssed away on August 1 at the age of 74. 

The obituary describes Kelce as Maguire’s ‘beloved friend’ but she has repeatedly been referred to as Ed’s girlfriend amid the family’s whirlwind rise to fame over the last three years.

Once, according to an interview Ed gave to the LA Times, she even jokingly told Taylor Swift ‘hey, that’s my boyfriend’ when the singer took a selfie with Travis and Jason’s father at an NFL game.

‘She also grew an unexpected love for football later in life, sharing many laughs and adventures with her beloved friend Ed Kelce and her loyal dog Butch,’ the obituary said.

‘Together, they traveled often and attended football games and concerts, and embraced every opportunity to enjoy life to the fullest.’

Ed and Donna Kelce, the mother of Travis and Jason, went their separate ways after nearly 25 years of marriage but have remained friends as their sons have become two of the most famous names in the NFL.

In 2023, the Super Bowl was renamed ‘the Kelce Bowl’ due to the brothers facing each other on opposing teams when the Travis and the Kansas City Chiefs beat Jason’s Philadelphia Eagles.

Later that year, the family were propeled into unprecedented levels of fame when Travis and Taylor went public with their romance. 

Ed, who is also 74, recently told the Daily Mail in an exclusive interview how Maureen was with him when he met the Eras Tour star for the first time. 

Since then, he has forged a close bond with one of music’s biggest ever stars. Swift even seemingly refers to Ed in her song ‘So High School’.

‘I feel like laughing in the middle of practice / To that impression you did of your dad again,’ Swift sings – Travis has repeatedly performed an impersonation of his dad on his New Heights podcast, which he hosts with his brother Jason. 

Donna was at Kansas City Chiefs traning camp on Saturday, watching Travis preparing for the new season. 

The Chiefs start the new season in Brazil on September 5 against the Los Angeles Chargers.
