While Riggle is best known for appearing on shows like “Modern Family” and “The Office,” many of his followers are well aware of his passion for the Kansas City-based NFL team.
“I’ve been a Chiefs fan since I can remember,” he told us. “I mean, like, [since] the beginning of my life. 1975 was my first game, so I’ve been a fan forever.”
The actor, 54, even served as the drum honoree during the team’s opening home game against the Baltimore Ravens at Arrowhead Stadium on Thursday.
The Chiefs defeated the Ravens 27-20 during the game, which was also attended by Swift, who was spotted chatting it up with Kelce’s dad, Ed, in a VIP suite.

Swift and Kelce, both 34, have been dating since 2023. The two have been photographed on multiple getaways together, and have showed their support for each other’s high-profile careers.
While Swift’s been seen cheering and partying at plenty of NFL games – including the Chiefs’ victorious Super Bowl win in Vegas earlier this year – Kelce has returned the favor by attending a handful of his girlfriend’s Eras Tour shows.
As for Riggle, the “Stepbrothers” star has been staying busy by participating in the “Kick off with Crown“ (KOWC) program, sponsored by Crown Royal whiskey, to launch the Crown Royal Rig.

The 18-wheeler will tour NFL stadiums to “spread generosity with an epic tailgate,” a press release states, noting that NFL fans will also be invited to help pack a purple bag in support of the military charity organization, Packages from Home.
It’s a cause that’s near and dear to Riggle, who joined the Marines in 1990 and retired in 2013. During his 20-plus years of service, he attained the rank of Lieutenant Colonel, served in Albania and Afghanistan and received the Meritorious Service Medal and a Combat Action Ribbon.
“I appreciate that [charity tie-in] as a military member, but I really just like what they’re doing,” he said of the Crown Royal collaboration. “I like the fact that they’re raising awareness of the military and our folks that are deployed 365 days a year, 24 hours a day, all over the world.”
