Travis Kelce's Paterfamilias
Maureen Maguire, a woman known for her kindness, wit, and gentle strength, has passed away at the age of 74 on August 1st, 2025. The cause of her death and the location where she passed away were not specified in the obituary.
Maureen shared a long-term, loving relationship with Ed Kelce, though the exact timeline and details of how they met are not publicly known. Born on November 21, 1950, Maureen was Ed’s partner for many years until her peaceful passing, surrounded by her loved ones.
Maureen and Ed were often seen together at NFL games, concerts, and family events, even traveling with each other. In recent years, Maureen developed an unexpected love for football and integrated herself into the Kelce family’s rising public life.
One notable aspect of their bond was Maureen’s warm, humorous interactions with Taylor Swift, who began dating Ed’s son, Travis Kelce, in mid-2023. Ed recalled that Maureen helped him recognise Swift at Travis’ house during a gathering before a Chiefs game, jokingly calling Swift “my boyfriend” during a later game photo with Ed and Swift, which then turned into a father-daughter pose.
Ed shared Maureen’s obituary on Facebook, describing her as his “beloved friend” and commemorating moments they shared, including one at the “Saturday Night Live” set when Travis hosted, highlighting their close presence in family milestones.
Maureen was a devoted mother to her three children and six grandchildren. The obituary did not mention the NFL stars Travis and Jason Kelce, but Maureen was known in recent years as Ed Kelce's partner. Before her relationship with Ed, Maureen was married to her husband Daniel J. Maguire.
A funeral service will be held on August 7th in Gladwyne, Pennsylvania, while the burial will be private.
