Eric Stonestreet is thrilled his “great” pal Travis Kelce is dating Taylor Swift.
“Travis is awesome,” the “Modern Family” alum gushed to Page Six at the “Dexter: Resurrection” premiere earlier this week. “I’ve known Travis for a long time, and I was so happy for him when they started dating because I know him.”
“She deserves a great guy,” the actor, 53, added, “and he’s a great guy.”
The Kansas City Chiefs tight end and the “Bad Blood” singer, both 35, went public with their romance in September 2023, two months after he expressed interest in Swift on his “New Heights” podcast.
The couple most recently celebrated July 4th at the exclusive Yellowstone Club in Big Sky, Montana.
Stonestreet, a passionate Kansas City Chiefs fan, met Kelce through the team and they share a close bond. The actor even joked about being able to FaceTime the NFL star after winning a SAG award in 2024.
“The Secret Lives of Pets” star demurred when Page Six asked if he thinks he’d score a wedding invite.
“Oh my god, I don’t know about that,” he said. “I love both of them very much. It would obviously be amazing if that happened, but I wouldn’t want to go if it wasn’t the right thing.”
“I wouldn’t want to force my way in there,” he added.
Stonestreet can currently be seen as a serial killer in the new “Dexter” series, and is elated at the opportunity to play such a nefarious character.
“[The producers] thought of me right off the bat,” he explained. “It would be different if I’d never heard of the show before, but I’m a big fan of the show, and these guys have a great reputation.”
“The fact that they thought who’d be right for this would be me immediately flatters you, right? And then once I saw the material, I was in. [It’s] just an awesome experience.”
Franchise star Michael C. Hall was also in attendance at the splashy premiere along with Peter Dinklage, Uma Thurman, Christian Slater, Krysten Ritter and David Zayas.
The first two episodes of “Dexter: Resurrection” are now streaming on Paramount+ Premium, and will also air Sunday at 8 p.m. ET on Paramount+ With Showtime.
