Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce will be attending more than one wedding this summer.

As you’ve undoubtedly heard, there’s his pending nuptials with Taylor Swift, the biggest name in music these days. But Kelce also is expected to attend former teammate JuJu Smith-Schuster’s wedding. Smith-Schuster is marrying Laura Kruk, who is a fitness coach.

While talking with the NBC affiliate in Philadelphia, Smith-Schuster expects both weddings to be beautiful.

“He’s gonna have a great wedding, I’m gonna have a great wedding,” Smith-Schuster told the TV station. “We’re gonna be attending both of them.”

Smith-Schuster, 29, has played nine NFL seasons, including three with the Chiefs (2022, 2024-25), but he’s currently a free agent.

Kelce was a free agent briefly before returning to the Chiefs earlier this year. That didn’t surprise Smith-Schuster.

“I think he’s in a place where he just loves ball so much,” Smith-Schuster told NBC Philadelphia. “I can’t see him leaving, not anytime soon … Just being around him, he’s the type of guy that doesn’t back down, so he’s gonna keep fighting as long as he can, and I think he’s still got it.”

Smith-Schuster was asked about Swift, and he praised her for being down-to-earth despite being a worldwide star.

Smith-Schuster also raved about Swift’s baked goods.

“Fire,” he said. “She’s a baker. She can bake. Yeah, she’s good at that.”

Smith-Schuster had a bit of marital advice for Kelce.

“My advice to TK, man, if you see this, man, all I gotta say is just enjoy the process,” Smith-Schuster told NBC Philadelphia. “Obviously, wifey is gonna want what she wants, just do it. That’s gonna be happy wife, happy life, and that’s all I gotta say.”
