"Listen, I'm happy for 'em," he told Kansas City Sports Radio 810 WHB. "It's hard to find somebody that you fall in love with, that's not an easy thing to really fall in love and it seems like they're there."
Reid added, "I think it's a great deal for both of them. They like being around each other and that's a plus I think."
The NFL coach continued, "They're both busy people in their own right, and both are very famous in their own right, so its kinda neat that they come together and handle themselves the way they do."

Earlier in August-before Kelce proposed-Reid fielded a question about Kelce's hypothetical future wedding and what story he might tell at the reception.
"Well, there are a few I can't tell," the coach told 96.5 The Fan with Fescoe and Dusty.
"No, there are a lot of great stories," he added. "He's done so many good things, all the things he does off the field that people don't know about, just helping people out. He's got a big heart that way."
Before that, Reid spoke out against the idea that Swift was distracting Kelce from the game.
"I know people are saying that he's old or that he has distractions, but defenses don't think that," Reid told reporters in a Sept. 25, 2024, news conference, per Fox News. "Trav is fine. He just keeps being Trav. He works his tail off. He hasn't lost a step. He's not distracted."
On Tuesday, Swift and Kelce practically broke the internet when they announced their engagement on social media.
"Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married ๐งจ," the couple wrote in a joint Instagram post alongside engagement photos. Swift's giant diamond ring was front and center in one of the snaps.
Since the news dropped, many big names have weighed in on Swift and Kelce's impending marriage. President Donald Trump issued a surprising response during a cabinet meeting. Meanwhile, the royal family sent an unmistakable message in reaction to the engagement.
Congrats, again, to Swift and Kelce on their engagement!
