Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift were noticeably absent when his dad, Ed Kelce, buried his longtime partner, Maureen Maguire.
Ed, his son Jason Kelce, and his wife Kylie were all pictured at the service at St. John Vianney Catholic church in Gladwyne, Pennsylvania, on Thursday.
However, Travis and Taylor were missing from the memorial, and the reason is due to the NFL star's schedule.
Funeral no-show
Travis was pictured on the same day his family laid Maureen to rest at the Kansas City Chiefs training camp at Missouri Western State University in St. Joseph, Missouri.
The Chiefs' tight end is under a grueling schedule ahead of the start of the NFL season, which begins in September. Taylor is believed to be in Missouri with him.

Maureen died at the age of 74 on August 1, 2025. Ed shared her obituary on his personal Facebook page and revealed that Maureen "passed away peacefully surrounded by her loved ones."

"A devoted mother whose greatest pride was her children," she is survived by her three kids, Chuck, Courtney, and Patrick, as well as "her six cherished grandchildren," and her sister Loretta O'Brien and her brother, John Bullock.

The obituary also honored her relationship with Ed. "She also grew an unexpected love for football later in life, sharing many laughs and adventures with her beloved friend Ed Kelce and her loyal dog Butch. Together, they traveled often and attended football games and concerts, and embraced every opportunity to enjoy life to the fullest."

"She had a rare gift for making friends with strangers and making everyone around her feel special, seen, and welcomed. Her presence had a way of turning ordinary moments into something memorable," the obituary concluded.

Speaking to the LA Times in February 2024, Ed said that Maureen playfully told Taylor: "Hey, that's my boyfriend."
