He shared a link to an obituary that described Maguire as his "beloved friend," though a Los Angeles Times interview with Kelce published in 2024 noted Maguire was his girlfriend.
Maguire, a former elementary school teacher who was born in New York but spent most of her life in Philadelphia, "passed away peacefully surrounded by her loved ones," according to the obituary.
She "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," the obituary also read. "Together, they traveled often and attended football games and concerts, and embraced every opportunity to enjoy life to the fullest."
Maguire was predeceased by her husband, Daniel J. Maguire Jr., and is survived by her three children, six grandchildren, and her sister and brother.

Ed Kelce was previously married to Donna Kelce, Travis and Jason's mother, for more than 20 years.
In an appearance on her sons' "New Heights" podcast in 2023, Donna Kelce noted that she and Ed are "friends to this day," adding, "We get along great. It's just sometimes people move apart, that's all."

"We're like a tag team with you two," she added, addressing Jason and Travis. "When one of you had to go out of town, another person would help the other child, so it was perfect."
Speaking with the Los Angeles Times in 2024, Ed Kelce revealed an amusing interaction Maguire had with Travis Kelce's girlfriend, Taylor Swift, soon after they met. When Swift was posing for a photo with Ed Kelce and nuzzled up to him, Maguire jokingly warned, "Hey, that's my boyfriend," according to the Times, which said the singer "laughed and struck something closer to a father-daughter pose."

The father of Travis, 35, and Jason Kelce, 37, shared a throwback picture of himself posing with Taylor Swift and Maguire, who died on Aug. 1 at age 74. Uploaded to her obituary page, the image pictured Ed and Maureen smiling alongside Travis' girlfriend Swift. The trio are decked out in Kansas City Chiefs attire in support of the star tight end's team.

Ed and Maureen, who were standing next to the pop superstar in the photo, wore jerseys with Travis' number 87 on them. In February 2024, Ed shared in an interview with the Los Angeles Times how Maureen had been getting to know Swift. He revealed a funny interaction between the pair shortly after they met. While Swift, 35, was posing for a picture with Ed, Maureen joked, "Hey, that's my boyfriend," to which the singer laughed. In January 2024, Ed revealed on Audacy's 92.3 The Fan in Cleveland how he couldn't recall Swift's name during an early interaction at Travis' home and Maguire had to remind him of who she was. "When Travis has a lot of friends coming into town to go to the game, everyone meets at his house, although he's not there,' Ed said on the show, noting that there can often be up to 20 people there before a home game. 'They have a shuttle that comes and picks everybody up and takes them to the game," said Ed, who went on to say that he had probably met some of those in attendance "but cannot for the life of me picture, remember who they are." "And Taylor comes in, walks in with a security guard and I look at her ... and I had my girlfriend with me and I mention to Maureen, 'Oh, my God, I know this kid but I don't know what her name is.' Geez, you know, like a real idiot,' he shared. Maureen then said to him, he recalled, "'You don't know her? This is Taylor Swift, you idiot.' " On Aug. 2, Ed announced the news that Maureen had died by sharing a link to an obituary on his personal Facebook page. According to the obituary, Maureen "passed away peacefully surrounded by her loved ones" and described her as a 'devoted mother' with "impeccable taste." Ed was described as Maguire's "beloved friend," with the obituary noting how she would attend games with the devoted football dad. "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," the obituary from Stretch Funeral Home in the suburbs of Philadelphia read. "Together, they traveled often and attended football games and concerts, and embraced every opportunity to enjoy life to the fullest," it continued. Maureen was also described as a "natural hostess," per the obituary. "She was famous for throwing the best parties, always full of warmth, laughter, and unforgettable food." Ed was married to Jason and Travis' mom Donna Kelce for 25 years after they wed in the late '70s. They divorced in 2011, and Ed explained that they had stayed together for their sons. 'If we had split as we probably both would have preferred, that would have been a nightmare with the logistics, getting kids where they had to be and providing all the support,' Ed explains in the 2023 documentary Kelce. Per the obituary, Maureen leaves behind three children, six grandchildren, her brother John and her sister Loretta. Read the original article on People

Putin's ‘secret daughter' laments father who killed ‘millions' and ‘destroyed' her life as she pivots to support Ukraine
Russian President Vladimir Putin's alleged secret daughter spoke out against her father in a cryptic post condemning the man who 'destroyed' her and 'took millions of lives.' Elizaveta Krivonogikh, a 22-year-old art school graduate living in Paris who is believed to Putin's youngest daughter, shared the messages on her private Telegram, in line with her increasing openness on Instagram as she's started to share more images of herself. 4 22-year-old Elizaveta Krivonogoikh is supposedly Vladimir Putin's secret love child. social media Advertisement 'It's liberating to be able to show my face to the world again,' she wrote, Bild reported. 'It reminds me of who I am and who destroyed my life,' she added. The Telegram chat, dubbed 'Art of Luiza,' references her work pseudonym Luiza Rozova. Advertisement Krivonogikh didn't explicitly name Putin in either post, but has also never shot down the popular theories surrounding her true parentage. The budding artist was born in 2003 after a suspected affair between Putin and her mother, Svetlana, the president's then-housekeeper. 4 Putin has never confirmed the rumored love child. POOL/AFP via Getty Images The bombshell was first revealed after a 2020 investigation by Russian media outlet Proekt, citing her 'phenomenal resemblance' to Putin. He isn't listed on her birth certificate, but 'Vladimirovna' was included, translating to 'daughter of Vladimir.' Advertisement In 2021, slain journalist and Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny exposed Krivonogikh's Instagram, which highlighted her life of luxury and her family's staggering wealth that many have attributed to their connection with the disgraced Russian president. 4 Krivonogikh returned to social media and slammed her rumored father. Instagram / luizaroz__ While Krivonogikh originally celebrated life in the spotlight, she retreated after Russia invaded Ukraine in 2021 and her Instagram was suddenly shut down. She's since returned, but was more reserved at first, hiding her face in many photos. She's now seemingly changed her tune — and swapped sides on the devastating war after previously mourning her inability to 'make an extra lap around my beloved St. Petersburg.' Advertisement Krivonogikh has since denounced her previous Gucci-encrusted lifestyle of obscene wealth and speaks openly against her supposed father's massacre in Ukraine while working in a Parisian art gallery specializing in anti-war works. 4 Krivonogikh also denounced Putin's invasion of Ukraine. AP Krivonogikh also adopted an extra pseudonym, Elizaveta Rudnova, inspired by Putin's late ally Oleg Rudnov — a cheeky stab at her elusive parentage. Still, critics of Putin haven't quite bought her reshaped image and insist that she shouldn't be working in a space where she could be interacting with Ukrainians, regardless of her stance. 'Am I really responsible for the activities of my family, who can't even hear me?' Krivonogikh wrote. Putin is also rumored to share two secret sons, a 10-year-old and a 6-year-old, with his former gymnast fling and Olympic gold medalist Alina Kabaeva.
