Taylor Swift’s future father-in-law Ed Kelce has revealed his son Travis actually popped the question at least two weeks ago. However the couple kept their engagement quiet to not overshadow the announcement of the musician’s new album The Life of a Showgirl on the Kelce brothers’ New Heights podcast on August 13. Talking to Sydney radio station 2Day FM’s Jimmy & Nath with Emma on Wednesday morning, Australian time, Kelce said “They did keep it quiet for a while because Taylor had the album coming out, you don’t want to take away the energy from that.” Ed Kelce also revealed the engagement took place in Travis’s backyard—he and Swift, 35, were due to go to dinner, when he stalled her. “He said ‘Let’s go out in the garden on that little patio and have a glass of wine before we go, we’ve got time,’” Ed Kelce shared. “I think she knew something was up, she could see suddenly there were a lot more flowers out there. He did it out there and it was great.” Ed Kelce revealed Travis, 35, first showed him a photo of the engagement ring in July and a month ago had told Taylor’s father Scott he was planning to propose. Travis originally planned to ask Swift to marry him next weekend, before heading to Brazil for the Kansas City Chief’s season opener. “He wanted to make a big production out of it some place, he wanted to make it special,” Kelce’s dad said. “I told him the same thing Scott told him, asking her is what’s going to make it special, not where you do it, you can do it on the side of the road! Scott said ‘Get it done, don’t worry about any special date, you’re ready, you’ve got the ring, go do it!” When asked if Taylor and Travis wanted kids, Ed Kelce said “most definitely, they both do.” However when quizzed on wedding plans or dates, he told the Australian Today show “I’m gonna go mute on that and let them bring it up when they’re ready!”
