When asked about attending what the reporter called "the wedding of the century," Sock admitted he would "rather err on the safe side" when discussing the event but said it was "an unbelievable experience." He described the celebration as having everything from "comedic relief" to "obviously tears for a lot of people," adding that there were "great times" and "good energy."

The  former tennis player shared that he has known Kelce "for a long time now," explaining that the two connected through Kansas City, "golfed together a lot" and "became good friends over the years." He also revealed that it was his "first time seeing or being near Taylor," adding that he met her "at the end when we said bye."

Reflecting on the evening, Sock said there was "a lot of people watching" and "amazing singing performances by different people," adding, "Herself included, which was really fun to see."

Asked whether there was a particular moment that stood out, Sock said, "I think that was just the general [feeling] for hours. You look, that was the kind of general feel." He pointed to the cocktail hour, where guests were "kind of shoulder-to-shoulder with everybody," recalling seeing Jessica Alba, Scarlett Johansson, Charlize Theron and Brad Pitt.

"You're standing like right here... I was like, all right. Yeah... It was just a crazy, crazy experience," he shared. When asked if he became best friends with anyone, Sock replied, "I definitely stayed on the outskirts. I would say kind of just stayed in our lane. Hung out, people watched, which was fun."

The Olympic gold medalist added that they "called it early" and were "gone probably hours before a lot of people." Summing up the wedding, Sock said, "The best... just an experience. It wasn't like... it was unbelievable in so many ways. It was different, I feel like, than I was expecting maybe in some ways. Overall, it was just a crazy experience."
