Ed Kelce’s Girlfriend
Maureen Maguire, longtime partner of Ed Kelce and close to the Kelce family, passed away this week. Maureen Anne Maguire, the longtime girlfriend of Ed Kelce—father to NFL stars Travis and Jason Kelce—has died at age 74. Her death was confirmed in a public obituary shared by Ed Kelce on Facebook on August 2. Maguire, a retired medical professional, passed away peacefully on July 31, 2025. According to the obituary posted by the Kelce family, she was surrounded by loved ones and remembered for her “infectious laugh,” “deep compassion,” and “immeasurable kindness.” “She was a fierce advocate for patients, a devoted mother and grandmother, and an unwavering friend,” the family wrote. “Her strength, humor, and generous heart touched everyone who knew her.”
A Private Life, A Public Loss
Although Maureen Maguire largely stayed out of the spotlight, she had been a fixture in the Kelce family’s orbit for years. Ed Kelce, who has remained close to both of his sons throughout their rise to NFL superstardom, frequently credited Maguire as an emotional anchor in his life after divorcing Donna Kelce, the mother of Travis and Jason. While the Kelce brothers have not yet released public statements, Jason and Travis are known for their deep family ties and are expected to privately honor Maguire’s memory.
Maguire’s Legacy in Philadelphia and Beyond
According to the obituary, Maureen Maguire was a lifelong advocate in the healthcare sector, working for over 30 years in both nursing and patient care administration. She earned accolades for her work in elder care reform and volunteered extensively in the Philadelphia area, where she and Ed Kelce resided. Maguire is survived by three children, seven grandchildren, and her partner Ed Kelce. A private memorial will be held later this month, per the family’s request. “We kindly ask for privacy as we grieve the loss of our beloved Maureen,” the obituary concluded.“In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Alzheimer’s Association in her honor.” Maguire’s death marks another somber chapter in what has been an emotional year for the Kelce family, following Jason Kelce’s retirement from the NFL and Travis Kelce’s ongoing high-profile public life. As fans of the Kelce brothers continue to send condolences online, one thing is clear: Maureen Maguire left an indelible mark on those closest to one of football’s most beloved families.
