Ed Kelce said Travis proposed to Taylor Swift less than 'two weeks ago.'
Travis' dad, Ed Kelce, was also quick to react to news of his son's engagement, as he spilled details about when the proposal took place during an appearance on Cleveland's News 5 on Tuesday evening.
"Travis actually did the proposal, oh, maybe two weeks, not quite two weeks ago. He was going to put it off till this week," the father-of-two admitted. "I think she was getting maybe a little antsy, but he was going to put her off till this week, to, you know, make some grand thing, to make it a big special event."
Ed, however, reminded his son "repeatedly" that he "could do it on the side of the road" as long it was "special."
The Kelce patriarch told Travis it'd be special no matter what "when you get down on one knee and ask her to marry you."
Noting the proposal took place at Travis' home, Ed added: "He got her out there, they were about to go out to dinner, and he said, 'Let's go out and have a glass of wine' ... they got out there, and that's when he asked her, and it was beautiful."
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce dated for about two years before getting engaged.
After Travis popped the question, Ed said "they started FaceTiming me and their mother and her folks to make sure everybody knew. So, to see them together is great."
Ed recalled how he was at a Philadelphia Eagles public practice when he "got a FaceTime call from them, and as soon as I saw the FaceTime, I saw it was Travis, and then I saw Taylor there with him, I knew what they were going to say. And they, you know, let us know."
