Why Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift didn’t attend funeral for dad Ed’s long-term partner- Shocking reason

Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift were conspicuous by their absence from the funeral of dad Ed’s longtime girlfriend Maureen Maguire on Thursday.

Pictures exclusively taken by the Daily Mail showed the likes of Jason and his wife Kylie attending the small family service in Gladwyne, Pennsylvania on August 7.

But while most of the family turned up at St. John Vianney Catholic Church, there was no sign of Travis or his superstar girlfriend Taylor.

It is understood the Chiefs star opted to instead stay in training camp with the Chiefs, where he is preparing for his 13th season in the NFL.

While his family were at the service, Kelce was put through his paces by coaches, and in a video later shared by the team he greeted legendary wide receiver Terrell Owens to practice.

Meanwhile, Jason and Kyle did make the short trip within their home state, arriving five minutes before the start of the service, suited and booted and with a Starbucks in hand.

The 37-year-old Jason appeared downcast as he arrived with wearing a light-colored shirt, dark tie and slacks with wife Kylie dressed in a simple knee-length black shift dress and strappy heels.

The celebrity couple – who live a short drive from the church in a $6 million megamansion in the wealthy suburb of Haverford, Pennsylvania – were among the last to join the line of mourners filing through the front doors of the church to say farewell to the partner of the Kelce patriarch, who died last Friday aged 74.

The older Kelce brother appeared to be representing both of Ed’s sons – after his Kansas City Chiefs brother Travis was spotted at training camp at Missouri Western University in St Joseph, ahead of season start on Saturday.

The 35-year-old appeared in great shape at the training camp, pouring cold water on any imminent retirement suggestions.

‘I love it here,’ Kelce said of training camp. It gets me away from everything else that’s going on in this crazy world. You can really just focus in on your craft and focus in on being the best you can for the guys around you, man.’

‘Football has always been the biggest driving force I’ve ever had. I love coming out here and focusing on this and getting better for another run at hopefully a Super Bowl.’

Travis’s popstar girlfriend Swift was also nowhere to be seen at the small Catholic mass – despite Kelce senior Ed sharing sweet photographs of Maguire and him with the ‘I Can Do It with a Broken Heart’ hitmaker.

Announcing Maguire’s death on his Facebook page with an online obituary, Ed shared photo of the three of them in Kansas City Chiefs merch, with the singer holding a card and what appears to be a friendship bracelet.

Ed also shared a photograph with Maguire from Saturday Night Live in March 2023 in New York, when three-time Super Bowl winner Travis was the guest host.

In an interview last year with the LA Times, Ed revealed how his girlfriend and Swift had struck up a bond.

Maguire, according to Ed, jokingly told Swift ‘hey, that’s my boyfriend’ when the singer took a selfie with Travis and Jason’s father at an NFL game.

Maguire’s obituary doesn’t explain how she and Ed met but revealed how much football was an influence on her later years.
