Taylor Swift’s ex tries to top her MSG wedding by marrying in Brazil on Fourth of July weekend: report

Taylor Swift’s ex-boyfriend, Conor Kennedy, is reportedly getting married in Brazil over the same weekend as the pop superstar’s rumored Madison Square Garden wedding.

Although Conor, 31, the son of Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., already tied the knot with Brazilian singer-songwriter Giulia Be, 26, at a civil ceremony in March, the pair are expected to host a bigger celebration over the July 4 weekend at the country’s most iconic landmark, the Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio de Janeiro, according to PageSix. The Independent has contacted Conor’s representative for comment.

The event is expected to bring together more than 150 of Conor’s friends and Kennedy family members, including his father, RFK Jr. Giulia teased in a 2025 interview with UOL that President Donald Trump might also make an appearance.

Conor, who briefly dated Swift, 36, in the summer of 2012, has been with Giulia since early 2022. They announced their engagement on Instagram in 2024. “Easiest yes of all time,” Giulia wrote in the caption, alongside a series of photos and a video clip of the two embracing.

“I literally can’t believe this,” Giulia told Conor in the video. “I’m dreaming. This is a dream.” After kissing Conor, she said: “I’m so happy. I love you so much.”

They then got married at an intimate civil ceremony in March in Los Angeles.

Speaking last month to Brazil’s Gshow magazine about their planned wedding, Giulia revealed: “One of the first things I said [to Conor was], ‘I love you, but I’m not getting married in Massachusetts.’

“I think Brazil is one of the best places to get married. We know how to do it, we give ourselves body and soul, and the party doesn’t end at 10 p.m. This is something really important that I wanted to show people.”

Meanwhile, the “Fate of Ophelia” singer is rumored to be getting married to Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, 36, at New York City’s MSG arena July 3. Security for the ceremony is expected to rival a “presidential visit” and cost around $5 million.

The couple reportedly plans to host 100 guests in the Garden on Thursday, and 1,000 on Friday, and the cost would cover weeks of advance work, as well as pairing up Swift’s personal security team with every MSG security worker and staffing a remote operations center to monitor potential threats, former Secret Service agent Bill Gage told The Independent.
