Travis Kelce's TV star pal weighs in on Taylor Swift romance as couple near 2-year anniversary
Travis Kelce 's close pal who is known for starring in a beloved sitcom has weighed in on the sports star's nearly two-year romance with Taylor Swift. Eric Stonestreet - who portrayed the character of Cameron Tucker in the hit series Modern Family - offered his thoughts on their relationship at the premiere of Dexter: Resurrection this week. The actor, 53 - who was born in Kansas City - has been a longtime fan of the Chiefs for years and often shares photos as well as videos of himself attending games to cheer on the team. 'Travis is awesome,' Stonestreet told Page Six at the screening. 'I've known Travis for a long time, and I was so happy for him when they started dating because I know him.' Eric continued by saying the Grammy winner 'deserves a great guy' before adding that Kelce is a 'great guy.' When questioned if there was a possibility of being invited to their wedding, he admitted, 'Oh my God, I don't know about that.' '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.' Swift first confirmed her romance with the Chiefs tight end in September 2023 when she attended the team's match at Arrowhead Stadium. The Bad Blood songstress has since made over 20 appearances at NFL games to cheer on her boyfriend of almost two years. Earlier this year in February, Taylor traveled to New Orleans to attend the 2025 Super Bowl as the Chiefs lost to the Philadelphia Eagles. However, during a past interview with Time Magazine, the beauty revealed that she had first met Travis a couple months before going public with their relationship. 'This all started when Travis very adorably put me on blast on his podcast, which I thought was metal as hell,' she said, referencing to his New Heights podcast. 'We started hanging out right after that. So we actually had a significant amount of time that no one knew, which I'm grateful for, because we got to get to know each other. By the time I went to that first game, we were a couple.' The Grammy winner added, 'I think some people think that they saw our first date at that game? We would never be psychotic enough to hard launch a first date.' She also told the outlet, 'When you say a relationship is public, that means I'm going to see him do what he loves, we're showing up for each other, other people are there and we don't care… 'The opposite of that is you have to go to an extreme amount of effort to make sure no one knows that you're seeing someone. And we're just proud of each other.' Stonestreet has also shared his thoughts over Swift and Kelce's romance on Kevin Harvick's Happy Hour for Fox Sports last year. Eric recalled meeting Taylor 'years ago' when he presented the singer an award and joked they had an 'awkward exchange' when he kept hold of the award so she could give her speech without juggling the heavy item. 'So I had met her. So the idea that these worlds of mine, because I knew her a little bit in Hollywood and obviously I know Travis. And the fact that these two things are now connected is pretty crazy, pretty incredible.' He continued, 'When I got wind that they were dating, I have to admit I thought it was a perfect match. 'I really did because I know Travis. I know how Travis is with my mom, I know how Travis is with my sister, I know how Travis is with the boys. I know what kind of guy he is.' Stonestreet said that he 'didn't know as much about Taylor's dating life or whatever she had been going through. 'But I thought well here's a confident due that's not gonna be intimidated by her. She obviously is at the top of her game so she's not going to be intimidated by him. They aren't competing with each other. So I thought it was gonna be a great match.' Stonestreet has often shared photos of himself at Chiefs games over the years - and even shared a glimpse of himself talking to Kelce after the team's Super Bowl win in 2023. Eric also attended an annual charity event in May called Big Slick - which Kelce and quarterback Patrick Mahomes also made an appearance at. The actor's latest comments come shortly after Taylor and Travis whisked themselves away for a romantic trip to celebrate the Fourth of July at the members-only Yellowstone Club in Montana. The Love Story singer spent quality time with her boyfriend over the weekend at the private resort located in the town of Big Sky, per DeuxMoi. The gossip site reported the update in its newsletter - and the A-list couple are no strangers to the exclusive location. Back in March, both Swift and Kelce whisked themselves away to the Yellowstone Club where they were seen dining with sports journalist Erin Andrews. The lovebirds have been seen on recent dates over the past few months. Shortly before Fourth of July, the lovebirds traveled to the NFL player's home state of Ohio to grab lunch at JoJo's Bar located in Chagrin Falls. The pair could be seen sitting closely at a table near a window, with the songstress showing off her personal style in a white blouse and pleated skirt. Kelce kept it casual for the outing in a teal-striped shirt as they held a lighthearted conversation inside the eatery with another male companion. The restaurant's manager, John Ponyicky, told People: 'Taylor and Travis came in and had a wonderful time.' John added, 'They had a great lunch, enjoyed our food, and were really impressed with the team. Travis grew up in Cleveland Heights, so he decided to visit somewhere he was familiar with. 'He and Taylor were both really pleasant. They sat at the bar for a bit, but also had a private lunch in a private room.' And shortly before the romantic trip, both Kelce and Swift were also spotted heading out for date night in NYC. They also stopped by Tight End University's 'Tight Ends & Friends' benefit at Brooklyn Bowl in Nashville - where Swift took to the stage for a surprise performance of her hit song Shake It Off. Last month in June, Taylor achieved the big milestone of regaining control of her masters - which Travis also made 'even more special.' A source told People, 'Reclaiming her masters has been emotional and empowering. She's proud, relieved, and finally feels like a chapter has closed in the best possible way. Having Travis by her side for that milestone made it even more special. The NFL star was also 'honored to support her and he wouldn't have wanted it any other way.' Their nearly two-year romance has also recently hit a 'turning point.' 'They're incredibly happy and in sync. There's a calmness and ease to their relationship right now that's been really grounding for Taylor and Travis.' The insider added, 'Taylor and Travis are soaking up every minute of this slower season together. They've been splitting their time between New York, Nashville, and a few quiet getaways, just enjoying each other's company without all the usual chaos. 'This kind of downtime is rare for both of them, and it's really allowed their bond to deepen.'

Eric Stonestreet is 'so happy' about his friend Travis Kelce's romance with Taylor Swift
Eric Stonestreet is "so happy" that Travis Kelce is dating Taylor Swift. The Modern Family actor is close friends with NFL star as he is a supporter of the Kansas City Chiefs and believes that the tight end is the perfect man for the pop mega star. Eric told Page Six: "Travis is awesome. "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." Travis and Taylor went public with their relationship in September 2023 but Eric isn't sure if he would get an invite to the pair's potential wedding. The 53-year-old actor said: "Oh my god, I don't know about that. 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." Eric features in the new series Dexter: Resurrection as a serial killer and was thrilled to be asked to play such a wicked character. He said: "(The producers) thought of me right off the bat. It would be different if I'd never heard of the show before, but I'm a big fan of the show before, and these guys have a great reputation. "The fact they thought who'd be right for this would be me immediately flatters you, right? And then once I saw the material, I was in. (It's) just an awesome experience." Meanwhile, Travis feels that he has got a "lot more to prove" in the NFL as he contemplated retirement after the Kansas City Chiefs lost the Super Bowl earlier this year before opting to continue his gridiron career. The 35-year-old sports star - who will return for a 13th season with the Chiefs - said last month: "It wasn't a very tough [decision] for me. "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. It really wasn't that hard of a decision for me." Travis felt hurt after losing the Super Bowl, but his passion for the sport hasn't dimmed. He said: "I love football. I don't think I really thought about it that much. My friends and family and the team and the guys and women in this building, I love coming into work every single day."
