JuJu Smith-Schuster is getting married in July.Travis Kelce, his Kansas City Chiefs teammate, is planning his own wedding to Taylor Swift, reportedly on July 3 in New York. Smith-Schuster, who has been through the planning process himself, had a message for his friend when NBC Local asked him about it on April 10.
“My advice to TK, man, if you see this, man, all I gotta say is just enjoy the process,” Smith-Schustersaid. “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.”

The advice carries some weight. Smith-Schuster got engaged to Laura Kruk in September 2024, and the two are set to exchange vows this July, roughly the same window in which Kelce and Swift are expected to marry. When asked whether the two had compared notes on their respective weddings, Smith-Schuster kept it short.
“Not so much, but he’s gonna have a great wedding, I’m gonna have a great wedding,” he said. “We’re gonna be attending both of them.”

Smith-Schuster and Travis Kelce have shared a locker room across the 2022, 2024 and 2025 seasons with the Chiefs, winning a Super Bowl together against the Philadelphia Eagles.
They know each other well enough that Smith-Schuster’s advice lands less as a tip and more as a quiet acknowledgment that Kelce is navigating something big, and that the outcome is largely not up to him.
Kelce and Swift announced their engagement in August 2025. The Instagram caption read, “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married,” a line that circulated widely and set the tone for how the couple has chosen to handle their public life together.
Huge New York wedding planned for Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift
Page Six reported that save-the-dates have gone out, with the couple planning to exchange vows on July 3 in New York, the day before the Fourth of July. The date carries context. Swift has long marked the holiday publicly, and 2026 also marks America’s 250th anniversary.
The New York location represents a reported shift from earlier plans. Page Six had previously indicated the couple was considering Rhode Island before sources said they were rethinking the venue to accommodate a larger guest list.
No representative for Kelce or Swift has confirmed the date or location. What is confirmed is that Smith-Schuster will be there, and he has already delivered his toast.
