Travis Kelce’s Dad Spills the Sweet Deets on the Proposal

Now, let’s get to the heart-melting stuff, straight from Travis Kelce’s dad, Ed Kelce. In a chat with ABC 5 Cleveland, the 74-year-old shared the adorable backstory of how Travis popped the question. Apparently, Travis planned a low-key, romantic moment, telling Taylor, “Let’s go out and have a glass of wine” before dinner - and that’s when he asked. Swoon-worthy or what?

Ed revealed the proposal actually went down nearly two weeks before the public announcement. He was at a Philadelphia Eagles public practice - surrounded by 60,000 fans, no less - when he got a FaceTime call from the happy couple. “As soon as I saw Travis and then Taylor on the screen, I knew exactly what they were going to tell me,” Ed recalled. “They started FaceTiming me, their mother, and her folks to make sure everybody knew. To see them together is great.”

This intimate family moment, shared across time zones, just shows how grounded this couple is despite their larger-than-life status. From the streets of DTLA to the beaches of Santa Monica, we’re all rooting for Taylor and Travis to have their happily ever after. Keep the love coming, fam!
