Rob Gronkowski did his best to help his old New England Patriots teammate Julian Edelman find a love connection at Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift’s wedding.
The legendary tight end and current Fox NFL analyst shared on TODAY Aug. 13 that he and girlfriend Camille Kostek took Edelman along to the wedding of the year in July.
The couple tried to facilitate a spark with the single ladies for the former Super Bowl MVP, who was scoping out the star-studded crowd of attendees at New York City’s Madison Square Garden.
“Julian Edelman was the third wheel, so we were kind of looking for some girls for him,” Gronkowski said. “He was going, ‘Who’s that? Is she single?’ I’m like, ‘Go for it, Julian.’
“Camille and I were trying to play matchmaker, but no luck,” he added. “But Julian doesn’t need any luck. He’s a beautiful looking kid.”
While Gronkowski, 37, couldn’t find a potential love interest for Edelman, 40, he did bring his trademark zeal to the dance floor.
“The dance floor energy was top notch, and the wedding was top notch as well,” he said. “You couldn’t have painted a better picture of how the whole wedding went down. There’s no doubt about that. Everyone was on the (dance) floor, there was DJs, there was magicians going.”
It was a mini Patriots reunion, as another one of his former teammates, legendary quarterback Tom Brady, was also in attendance.
Kelce made his first public comments about his wedding during a press conference on Aug. 12 at the Kansas City Chiefs’ training camp.
His reflections came more than a month after the Chiefs star tight end and the global music superstar wed on July 3 in front of a star-studded guest list estimated to include 1,100 attendees.
“It was a fun offseason man,” Kelce said. “The wedding was the best night of my life, and I appreciate everybody who came out and celebrated and had fun with us.”
There have been scant details that have trickled out about the wedding, which isn’t surprising considering attendees were required to sign non-disclosure agreements. Sources told NBC News that the bride and groom, who both wore white, each wrote their own vows in a “secret garden”-themed wedding.
The family has also shared only brief comments on the nuptials. Jason Kelce, Travis Kelce’s brother, said in an interview he “probably cried more at this wedding than I cried at my own wedding, which probably is not acceptable.”
