Ed Kelce hard-launches new romance ahead of Travis Kelce wedding

Ed Kelce, 75, posted a candid Instagram photo Saturday introducing Doree Hepner at 118 North in New York City, captioning it: "With the dynamic and gorgeous Doree Hepner at 118 North, listening to York Street Hustle: their Summer Soul(stice) show." Hepner wore a black tank top and a printed maxi skirt and appeared to be sipping an espresso martini.

Fans reacted warmly to the post, with one writing, "Papa Kelce got game. Shooters shoot! Now we know where [Travis] got it from (not that there was any doubt). 😂❤️🙌🔥," and another adding, "She’s beautiful, papa Kelce." The new relationship follows the death of Ed’s former partner, Maureen Maguire, last August.

She was 74 and was laid to rest at St. John Vianney Catholic Church in Gladwyne, Pennsylvania; Jason Kelce and his wife, Kylie Kelce, attended the service. The post comes as Ed’s son Travis and Taylor Swift prepare to wed at Madison Square Garden next month, with the couple reportedly set to marry on July 3.
