Here’s How The Kelce Family Is Celebrating Taylor & Travis’ Engagement
This is the opposite of champagne problems.
The Kelces know how to celebrate — whether it’s at a tailgate or a wedding. Ever since Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce announced their engagement on Aug. 26, the Kelce family has been showing their love and support for the couple, from sweet social media posts to some early wedding planning ideas.
After two years of dating, Kelce proposed to Swift at a garden in Lee's Summit, Missouri. About two weeks later, the couple shared the exciting update in a joint Instagram post, featuring photos from their engagement (and a close-up shot of the custom ring). “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married,” Swift and Kelce captioned the photos. As of publication, the Instagram has over 35 million likes.
Fans are not the only ones celebrating the engagement. Plenty of the couple’s celebrity friends — including Gracie Abrams, Sabrina Carpenter, and the Mahomes family — have made a point to congratulate the newly-engaged couple.
The Kelce family has also been chiming in to cheer on the duo. Here are all the ways they’re celebrating Swift and Kelce’s engagement.
Jason Kelce Is Hoping To Be The Best Man
Jason Kelce has been a vocal proponent of Swift and Travis’ love story. Following the engagement announcement, he filmed a special shoutout on his and Travis’ New Heights podcast. “There is one gigantic piece of New News that just hit the waves,” Jason said in a TikTok, posted Aug. 27. “[Travis] is not here to address this himself, but we felt necessary as a team here at New Heights to get together and send Travis and Taylor a giant congratulations for being engaged! The proposal heard ‘round the world. F*ck, yeah!”
Jason also spoke about the engagement on a Sept. 2 episode of Barstool’s Bussin’ with the Boys podcast. During the interview, he quipped about practicing his best man speech. “First of all, hopefully I'm the best man,” he said. “We'll see. Trav has a lot of friends. I'm just hoping to get the opportunity.”
Jason continued, “I love my brother, and I just want him to have like the most fulfilled, best life possible, and such a huge part of that is like, you know, who you end up marrying, who you end up raising a family with.”
According to Jason, Swift and Travis are a perfect match. “They are unbelievably supportive of each other, in both of their outlandishly successful worlds. I know the kind of person he is, and I've been blessed to get to know Taylor over the last couple years,” he said. “And I just think that they match so well together.”
Kylie Kelce Privately Congratulated Them
Kylie Kelce tends to steer clear of the media, but subtly supported Travis and Swift’s engagement announcement by liking their joint Instagram post in August.
Then, on a Sept. 5 appearance on Good Morning America, she discussed the engagement — and how her and Jason’s daughters felt about it. “The girls are thrilled. They're so excited they're getting another aunt. And we could not be more excited for them and what the future holds. We love love, and we love Taylor and Trav,” she said at the time.
During a Sept. 11 episode of her Not Gonna Lie podcast, Kylie also had some choice words for critics who claimed she did not congratulate the couple. According to Kylie, she makes a “conscious effort” not to talk about them, knowing that any quote she makes will likely be picked up by “news outlets, tabloids, and AI.”
“I don't need to come out here and make statements when I already talked to them,” she continued. “You see what I'm saying? I don't need you to clickbait my sh*t. I don't need you to take my comments and try and dissect it.”
“I think it goes without being said [that] I am so incredibly happy for them,” Kylie added. “We are so excited that they are taking this next step. The girls are so excited to get another aunt. I am so truly happy for them, and I feel so grateful that we get to welcome Taylor into our family in a more official capacity.”
Still, it sounds like Kylie is protective of their “private relationship.” She added, “I don't always have to comment on what they're doing in their lives because I can just text them and talk to them about it.”
Ed Kelce Gushed About The Couple
Shortly after the couple’s engagement announcement, Ed Kelce shared some details on ABC’s News 5 Cleveland. According to him, Swift and Travis got engaged about two weeks before making the announcement. Afterwards, the couple FaceTimed their families to let them know.
Later that week, Ed and Donna Kelce celebrated with Swift and Travis in person. "We actually went to a thing in KC Sunday night, which was an ESPN airing of The Kingdom and went to that, and his mother and I went with him back to his house for dinner, where Taylor made dinner, and we had a wonderful dinner with them outside on the patio and to just watch the two of them, just crazy about each other. It's truly kinda neat," he said.
Donna Kelce Updated Her Facebook Profile
Donna Kelce has not made any public comments about the engagement, but she gave her Facebook page a sweet update in light of the news. On the platform, Donna updated her cover photo to a screenshot of a fan’s tweet, featuring childhood pictures of Travis and Swift with the caption, “THEY ARE GETTING MARRIED.”
Plus, according to an insider, Donna has been feeling “sentimental” about the milestone. “Donna is already saving little things from this time like photos, notes and flowers,” a source told People. “She is very sentimental about it. She wants to remember every detail, so she has been holding onto mementos from their first days as an engaged couple.”
