Kelce and Swift have been dating since the start of the 2023 season
Ed Kelce, the father of NFL stars Travis and Jason Kelce, had no time for anyone trying to talk badly about the relationship between the Kansas City Chiefs star and Taylor Swift.
The elder Kelce on Friday slammed "Real Housewives of New York City" star Bethenny Frankel for doubling down on her remarks about the NFL player and the pop star’s romance.

Frankel answered a question earlier this week over whether Travis was the "peacock" in the relationship. She likened the Kelce-Swift romance to one of her own previous flames and how the person she dated just wanted to "party."
"But when you get into real life and you get into kids and marriage and things like that... it's not easy [and] relationships take work," Frankel added. "And it's hard, because Taylor Swift is certainly a peacock. So they're really usually can only be one peacock in a relationship."
Ed Kelce caught wind of her comments and blasted her in a post.
"Who TF is this troll?" he wrote.

Ed Kelce appears to be fully behind his son’s relationship with the pop star. The two have celebrated the Chiefs triumphs together during the 2023 season.
Frankel previously criticized Swift in September for "chumming with" Donna Kelce in the suite of one of the Chiefs games.
"It felt like the Chia Pet of a relationship," she said in September, according to Page Six. "Like, just add water. Like, they were together for 10 years. Like, she’s a full football wife. … She literally looked like she had been in a serious relationship with this guy for decades."

Frankel noted at the time that Swift had a short fling with Matt Healy in the early days of the "Eras Tour." She advised Swift to maintain her own identity.
Travis Kelce and Swift seem to be full-steam ahead with their relationship. Swift is changing words to her song "Karma" while the Chiefs tight end was in Australia to visit her last week.
