Their father, Ed Kelce, is grieving the loss of his longtime girlfriend Maureen Maguire, who passed away on August 1 at the age of 74.

Ed Kelce mourns the loss of his “person”
Ed Kelce and Muaureen Maguire were together for many years. During that time, the couple frequently appeared together at NFL games and family events, including Kansas City Chiefs games where they were spotted with Travis’ girlfriend Taylor Swift. In a moment fondly remembered by Ed, Maureen once joked to Swift, “Hey, that’s my boyfriend,” during a lighthearted photo op.
Ed shared her obituary on Facebook, describing her as a warm, generous, and deeply loved woman who found joy in life’s simple pleasures, especially time at the beach, her love of dogs, and hosting gatherings full of food and laughter.
Ed shared a heartfelt tribute on social media, including photos of their time together - a reminder of the deep connection they shared and the void her passing leaves behind.
Maguire, a former elementary school teacher, is remembered for her ability to make everyone feel welcome and special. Her obituary highlighted her enduring kindness, quick wit, and the lasting impression she left on those who knew her. She is survived by three children, six grandchildren, her siblings, and her beloved dog, Butch.
In lieu of flowers, donations were requested to the Penn Heart Transplant Fund. No cause of death was publicly shared.
