US President Donald Trump has weighed in on Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's upcoming nuptials and offered well-wishes to the couple.
During a cabinet meeting, Mr Trump was asked by a reporter about the engagement, to which he replied: "Well, I wish them a lot of luck, I think he's a great player, I think he’s a great guy, and I think that she’s a terrific person. So I wish them a lot of luck."
In a recent interview with News 5 Cleveland, Kelce's father, Ed, has said Swift and his son are "crazy about each other".
"Kinda knew this was going to happen months ago, to be honest with you, at least that was my guess … probably during last season is when it really became obvious that they were just crazy about each other," he said.
"We actually went to a thing in KC (Kansas City) Sunday night, which was an ESPN airing of The Kingdom and (we) went to that, and his mother and I went with him back to his house for dinner, where Taylor made dinner, and we had a wonderful dinner with them outside on the patio and to just watch the two of them, just crazy about each other. It’s truly kinda neat."
Talking about the moment after they got engaged, he said: "I was at an Eagles practice, a public practice that they had a lot of people that, well, the Eagles had 60,000 people at a public practice two weeks ago on a Sunday night.
"So at that practice I got a FaceTime call from them, and as soon as I saw the FaceTime, I saw it was Travis, and then I saw Taylor there with him, I knew what they were going to say, and they let us know."
Appearing to comment on the proposal, Ed added: "He was going to put it off till this week. I think she was getting maybe a little antsy, but he was going to put it off till this week, to, you know, make some grand thing, to make it a big special event.
"And I told him repeatedly: you could do it on the side of the road, do it any place, that makes it a special event, when you get down on one knee and ask her to marry you.
"They were about to go out to dinner, and he said: 'Let’s go out and have a glass of wine,’ they got out there, and that’s when he asked her, and it was beautiful."
He continued: "They’re just two young people very much in love, cast in a spotlight that they really haven’t sought but kind of followed with their success in their respective fields."
He said: "It was kind of funny, about a week ago I asked Travis: ‘When are you going to announce the engagement?’ He said: ‘Whenever Taylor says so.'"
