According to Ed, the engagement unfolded as Travis and Taylor were en route to a dinner date. Travis cleverly convinced Taylor to stop for a glass of wine in the charming garden, where he ultimately proposed. Following the engagement, the couple quickly reached out to their respective parents via FaceTime to share the exciting news. Ed expressed his delight at seeing Travis and Taylor so enamored with each other.

While Ed did not share any specifics regarding a potential wedding date, he noted the loving connection between the couple. Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift's relationship became public in the summer of 2023, and since then, they have made numerous public appearances together, showcasing their affection for one another at Swift's 'Eras Tour' concerts and NFL games.

This marks the first marriage for both Travis and Taylor, adding a significant chapter to their individual stories as they embark on this new journey together.
