Kelce Brothers Divided: Jason and Kylie Attend Funeral, Travis and Taylor Swift Absent

SCANDAL ROCKS THE KELCE FAMILY: TRAGEDY STRIKES AS "HEARTBROKEN" ED KELCE'S GIRLFRIEND MAUREEN MAGUIRE PASSES AWAY

In a shocking turn of events, the Kelce family is reeling from the sudden loss of Ed's girlfriend, Maureen Maguire. The 74-year-old passed away last Friday after a long battle with an undisclosed illness, leaving her partner and the entire family heartbroken.

According to sources close to the family, Ed Kelce, father of NFL stars Jason and Travis, was "devastated" by Maguire's passing. "Maureen wasn't just his partner, she was his person," said a friend. "They were a team. They shared everything... games, concerts, travel, dogs, dinners with family."

But what makes this tragedy even more shocking is the fact that Travis Kelce, Jason's younger brother and a star player for the Kansas City Chiefs, seemed to be MIA from the funeral proceedings. His pop superstar girlfriend, Taylor Swift, was also nowhere to be seen, despite Ed sharing sweet photos of Maguire with Swift on his Facebook page.

The two brothers are known for their close relationship, but it seems like Travis and Jason have taken different approaches to coping with their father's loss. While Jason appeared somber and downcast at the funeral, wearing a light-colored shirt, dark tie, and slacks with wife Kylie by his side, Travis was busy working out at training camp in Missouri, telling reporters that he loves coming to training camp because it gets him "away from everything else that's going on in this crazy world."

Travis' absence from the funeral has sparked rumors of a possible rift between the two brothers. Insiders claim that Jason is taking on more responsibilities as Ed's partner and representative at the funeral, which may have contributed to Travis' decision to stay away.

Meanwhile, Ed Kelce was seen shaking hands and hugging mourners outside the church, including Kylie, who gathered on the steps of the church. The older Kelce brother appeared to be representing both of his sons, as Travis was not in attendance.

As for Taylor Swift, it seems like she's been MIA from the family drama lately. Insiders claim that Travis and Swift have been having some issues, which may have contributed to her decision to stay away from the funeral.

But what really got tongues wagging is the news that Ed Kelce has been spotted at his sprawling estate in Haverford, Pennsylvania, enjoying a casual day with his wife Kylie and their four daughters. The couple was seen on their driveway, where they were entertaining two of their daughters while another rode a bike and another played on a toy horse.

It's clear that the Kelce family is still reeling from this tragedy, but one thing's for sure: only time will tell how Travis' absence from the funeral will affect his relationship with his father and brother.

A BRIEF HISTORY OF MAUREEN MAGUIRE'S LIFE

Maureen Maguire was more than just Ed Kelce's girlfriend. She was a vibrant woman who lived life to the fullest, always up for an adventure and never afraid to show her love for football. In fact, she even received a heart transplant in 2013 after suffering from ventricular tachycardia (VTAC) at the age of 32.

According to a local Philadelphia magazine article from February 2014, Maguire's family has a history of heart disease, with her younger brother passing away aged 15 from a sudden heart attack due to an undiagnosed heart condition. But despite this, Maguire never gave up on life and continued to pursue her passions, including football.

The couple met through their shared love of sports and music, and Ed has been open about how much they bonded over their shared experiences. "She also grew an unexpected love for football later in life, sharing many laughs and adventures with her beloved friend Ed Kelce and her loyal dog Butch," reads Maguire's obituary.

As the family says goodbye to Maureen, they're left to pick up the pieces and try to make sense of this tragic loss. One thing's for sure: only time will tell how the Kelce family will heal from this devastating blow.

THE KELCE FAMILY'S FINANCES AND ASSETS

The Kelces are known for their opulent lifestyle, with a sprawling estate in Haverford, Pennsylvania, and a $6 million megamansion that boasts three properties, a swimming pool with waterfalls, and a hot tub. The couple is also expecting to build a fourth home on their property and make extensive updates, including adding a fence to improve "security" on the property.

But what's really raising eyebrows is the news that Ed Kelce has been spotted at his estate, enjoying a casual day with his wife Kylie and their four daughters. It seems like they're trying to move forward despite this tragic loss.

THE PENN HEART TRANSPLANT FUND

In lieu of flowers, Ed has asked friends and family to donate to the Penn Heart Transplant Fund, which provides support to individuals in financial need receiving heart transplants. This fund is close to Maguire's heart, as she received a heart transplant herself in 2013.
