The pop star and Kansas City Chiefs tight end shared the joyous news in a joint Instagram post Tuesday.
Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift nearly
broke the internet with their engagement
announcement, and now we're learning
more details from the Grammy winner's
future father-in-law.
Yeah, in fact, we were not in the know
for quite some time. Ed Kelsey says the
power couple kept it all a secret for
the past two weeks. How'd they do that?
He told the Cleveland ABC affiliate that
Travis popped the question two weeks
ago, but waited to share it with the
world until Taylor said, "So, good man."
The elder Kelsey offered some sage
advice to the NFL pro when he thought
about waiting to pop the question.
I think she was getting maybe a little
antsy, but he was going to put it off
till this week to, you know, make some
grand thing to make it a big special
event. And uh and I told him repeatedly,
you know, you could do it on the side of
the road, do it any place that makes it
a special event when you when you get
down on one knee and ask her to marry
you.
Yeah, he's right. Father knows best.
Kelsey quietly proposed in a romantic
setting on his property in Lee Summit,
Missouri. Ed Kelsey said he received the
good news from the couple in a FaceTime
call on August 10th while he was at an
Eagle's public practice at the link.
Travis co-designed Taylor's vintage
inspired brilliant cut diamond ring with
luxury jeweler Kindred Lubec. Estimated
to cost about $550,000.
