Maureen Maguire, the longtime partner of Ed Kelce and a beloved figure in the lives of NFL stars Travis and Jason Kelce, passed away peacefully on August 1, 2025. She was 74.
Originally from the Bronx and later settled in the Philadelphia suburbs, Maureen was remembered for her warmth, generosity, and deep love for her family. Her death was confirmed by Ed Kelce, who shared the news through a heartfelt post linking to her obituary.
Maureen Maguire’s Deep Connection with the Kelce Family
Though she wasn’t a public figure herself, Maureen Maguire became known to many fans of the Kelce brothers through interviews and anecdotes shared by Ed. Over the years, she became an integral part of their family circle—supporting Ed at games, attending family gatherings, and cheering on both Jason and Travis from the stands.
Her connection with the Kelce family was not just one of companionship but of genuine affection and respect. In her later years, Maureen developed a surprising love for football. She traveled with Ed to various cities during NFL season, attended Kansas City Chiefs games, and grew close with the family’s inner circle.
Her obituary described her as a woman with “impeccable taste and an unmatched sense of humor,” who made every home she lived in feel warm and welcoming. Her gatherings were legendary—full of good food, laughter, and love.
A Light-Hearted Moment with Taylor Swift
One of the most memorable stories involving Maureen in the public eye came in early 2024 during the height of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s highly publicized relationship. In an interview with the Los Angeles Times, Ed Kelce recalled a moment at a game where fans were excited to take photos with him and Taylor. When someone asked to snap a picture of the pair, Maureen jokingly chimed in, “Hey! That’s my boyfriend.”
The playful jab reportedly made Taylor Swift laugh, and Ed, in classic dad fashion, admitted he didn’t even recognize Taylor at first—until Maureen nudged him and said, “This is Taylor Swift, you idiot.”
The story quickly became a fan favorite online, showing both Maureen’s sense of humor and her ability to bring a down-to-earth energy to even the most high-profile moments.
