In a recent interview, Eric Stonestreet revealed how thrilled he was when Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce went public with their relationship. The 53-year-old actor, who is known for his comedic brilliance and strong ties to the Chiefs community, shared that he’s known Kelce for years and couldn’t be happier about the pairing.
“Travis is awesome,” Eric said. “I’ve known Travis for a long time, and I was so happy for him when they started dating because I know him. She deserves a great guy, and he’s a great guy.”
As a close friend of the NFL star and a vocal supporter of the Kansas City Chiefs, Stonestreet's stamp of approval carries weight—particularly in a time when the spotlight on celebrity relationships can often blur the line between authenticity and hype.
A wedding invite? Stonestreet plays it cool
While fans speculate about a potential engagement between the two stars, Stonestreet remained humble when asked whether he might land a coveted invite to their future nuptials—should that day come.
“Oh my god, I don’t know about that,” he laughed. “I love both of them very much. It would obviously be amazing if that happened, but I wouldn’t want to go if it wasn’t the right thing. I wouldn’t want to force my way in there.”
His response reflects both admiration and respect for their privacy—a rare gesture in the celebrity sphere.
From Sitcom Star to Serial Killer
Beyond his connection to Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, Eric Stonestreet is also making headlines for a darker turn in his acting career. The Emmy-winning actor has landed a role as a serial killer in the upcoming Dexter: Resurrection series.
“The fact they thought who’d be right for this would be me immediately flatters you, right?” he said of being cast. “Once I saw the material, I was in. (It’s) just an awesome experience.”
The role marks a stark departure from his iconic role as the lovable Cam Tucker—but one that’s sure to keep audiences intrigued.
Travis Kelce focused on NFL glory despite retirement rumors
As speculation about his relationship continues to swirl, Kelce is equally focused on football. Despite briefly considering retirement after the Chiefs' tough Super Bowl loss, the tight end confirmed he will return for his 13th NFL season.
“It wasn’t a very tough [decision] for me,” Travis Kelce shared. “I know I’m getting older, but at the same time I still feel like I got a lot that I can prove in this league.”
“I love football... I love coming into work every single day.”
With Kelce’s drive on the field and Taylor Swift’s unstoppable rise in music, the power couple continues to dominate both their worlds—and win the admiration of fans and friends alike.
