Travis Kelce postponed his post‑wedding getaway on July 3 to travel to Laguna Niguel, California, for JuJu Smith‑Schuster’s July 11 nuptials, underscoring the Chiefs star’s deep bond with the Giants wide‑receiver.
Why Travis Kelce is Heading to JuJu Smith‑Schuster’s Wedding
The tight end and his new wife, Taylor Swift, celebrated their own ceremony at Madison Square Garden on July 3, a spectacle that drew over 1,000 guests. Instead of jetting off on a traditional honeymoon, Kelce confirmed via TMZ that he and Swift will attend the wedding of former Chiefs teammate JuJu Smith‑Schuster and fiancée Laura Kruk on July 11. The event is set for an upscale venue in Orange County, marking a rare public appearance for the newlyweds.
How Their Friendship Began and Evolved
Kelce and Smith‑Schuster first locked arms in Kansas City during the tight end’s Super Bowl‑winning era. Smith‑Schuster spent three seasons (2022, 2024, 2025) with the Chiefs, sharing a locker room with Kelce and contributing to the team’s Super Bowl LVII triumph. Their on‑field chemistry translated into a lasting off‑field camaraderie, evident when Smith‑Schuster offered Kelce advice during the wedding planning phase earlier this spring.
What This Means for Kelce’s Off‑Season Schedule
With the Chiefs’ training camp slated to open in mid‑July, Kelce now has roughly two weeks between the two weddings before reporting to camp. The brief hiatus suggests the pair will likely keep a low profile, perhaps opting for a short getaway after July 11 rather than an extended vacation. Rumors of an Israeli or European honeymoon have been debunked, leaving fans to wonder where the couple will finally unwind.
Fans React to the Double‑Wedding Weekend
Social media lit up as photos from both ceremonies surfaced. Kelce’s presence at Smith‑Schuster’s celebration was praised as a sign of genuine friendship, contrasting with the usual celebrity‑focused coverage of his own wedding. Analysts note that such personal ties can boost locker‑room morale, especially as the Chiefs prepare for a new season under head coach Andy Reid.
What’s Next for Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift?
The duo remains tight‑lipped about their honeymoon destination, but the next two weeks will likely involve a mix of family visits and low‑key outings. As the NFL preseason looms, Kelce’s focus will shift back to the field, where he aims to add another Pro Bowl appearance to his résumé. Fans can expect updates once the couple surfaces from the wedding circuit.
