Ed Kelce is mourning someone very special in his life. His longtime girlfriend, Maureen Maguire, passed away at the age of 74, a loss that the Kelce family quietly acknowledged over the weekend. On August 2, Ed shared a link to her obituary on Facebook, confirming her death and the deep impact she left behind.
Though described in the obituary as his “beloved friend,” Maureen had clearly become an important companion to Ed over the past few years. Their connection was real, filled with shared moments, inside jokes, and adventures.
According to her obituary, she developed a love for football later in life—something Ed helped spark. She went with him to games, concerts, and trips, fully embracing his world with laughter and curiosity. One of their constant companions? Her loyal dog, Butch.
Those close to the Kelce family might remember a few stories Ed has shared about Maureen in recent interviews. She had even started getting to know Travis’ girlfriend, Taylor Swift, and wasn’t shy when it came to playful banter.
During one interaction, as Swift posed for a photo with Ed, Maureen quipped, “Hey, that’s my boyfriend,” earning a laugh from the pop star. And when Ed forgot Swift’s name at a get-together, it was Maureen who nudged him and said, “This is Taylor Swift, you idiot.”
Maureen died peacefully, surrounded by her loved ones. She is survived by her three children, six grandchildren, and two siblings. Her funeral will be held on August 7 in Gladwyne, Pennsylvania.
Who Was Ed Kelce’s Girlfriend, Maureen Maguire
Born in the Bronx on November 21, 1950, Maureen Maguire eventually made her home in the Philadelphia suburbs, where she raised her family and built a life filled with warmth and tradition. After graduating from Archbishop Prendergast High School in 1968, she earned a degree in education from West Chester University in 1972 and began her career as an elementary school teacher.
Her greatest pride, however, was her family. After marrying her late husband, Daniel J. Maguire, Jr., Maureen devoted herself to raising their three children—Chuck, Courtney, and Patrick. She was also a loving grandmother to six grandchildren and remained close with her siblings, Loretta and John.
Maureen had a gift for making people feel at home. She was known for her effortless style—tennis skirts were her signature—and her ability to throw unforgettable gatherings. Whether it was a casual dinner or a full-blown celebration, her parties were filled with laughter, good food, and genuine connection.
She loved the beach, especially Cape May, and found joy in quiet moments with her family. In recent years, she also developed a fondness for football, often attending games with Ed Kelce and their loyal dog, Butch.
Her presence brought comfort, her humor lightened any room, and her kindness left a lasting impact. Maureen lived with heart, and those lucky enough to know her will carry her memory with them always.
