Travis Kelce and his parents, Donna and Ed Kelce, were among those in attendance on the red carpet ahead of a screening of ESPN’s The Kingdom, a six-part series that followed the Chiefs' attempt to win their third straight Super Bowl.
On the red carpet, Ed was asked about where his son's happiness is coming from, and he quickly replied, "Taylor [Swift]. There's no question about it. ... They're two people obviously very much in love."
“He looks so happy now. Where do you think that happiness comes from?”
