Travis Kelce<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0has been one of the biggest stars in the NFL for the past decade. After getting drafted in 2013, he\u2019s played in ten Pro Bowl games, and he\u2019s won three Super Bowl rings with the team, and he\u2019s aiming for his fourth ring in Super Bowl LIX on Sunday, February 9, 2025. Aside from his skills on the field, his love life<\/a> has long been of much interest to fans, especially after his reality dating show Catching Kelce.\u00a0<\/em>Most recently, Travis has made headlines for his romance with pop star Taylor Swift<\/a><\/strong>. The \u201cAnti-Hero\u201d singer-songwriter has cheered Travis on<\/a> at several of his football games, and he\u2019s returned the favor by going to see<\/a> her Eras Tour<\/em>.<\/p>\n

As the obsession continues over \u00a0Travis\u2019 relationship with Taylor,<\/a> the spotlight has also been on his family members, especially as they\u2019ve spent time with the popstar at the games. His older brother, Jason Kelce<\/a><\/strong> was also an NFL player. He played the center for the Philadelphia Eagles for 13 years.\u00a0The brothers are extremely close with their support parents, Donna<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0Ed Kelce<\/a><\/strong>. Find out more about Travis\u2019 family here!<\/p>\n

Travis is the younger brother of fellow NFL star Jason Kelce. Jason joined the NFL as a member of the Philadelphia Eagles in 2011, and like his brother, he only played for one team his whole career. As the former center for the Birds, Jason has had similar success to his younger brother, playing in six Pro Bowls, and he won a Super Bowl championship in 2018. The two teams previously faced off in Super Bowl LVII in 2023, where the Kansas City Chiefs were crowned champions.\u00a0Now, they are set to meet again in Super Bowl LIX, as they are the last two teams remaining.<\/span><\/p>\n

After the Chiefs defeated the Eagles, it\u2019s clear the brothers were good sports about the game. They were seen hugging on the field<\/a> after the game. Their mom<\/a>, Donna, was later seen hugging both boys<\/a> after the game. After the Super Bowl, Travis congratulated his brother<\/a> on a game well played. \u201cYou joke around all the time and say you want to beat your brother on the biggest stage ever, but it\u2019s a weird feeling. That team had great leadership, great coaches, obviously it came down to the end. We got all the respect in the world for those Eagles. There\u2019s nothing that I could really say to him other than that I love him and he played a hell of a season,\u201d he said in a press conference.<\/p>\n

Jason announced his retirement from the NFL in March 2024 following a 13-season career.<\/p>\n

While the Kelce brothers have faced off on the field, they\u2019ve both gotten to work together on a variety of projects. They launched the\u00a0New Heights\u00a0<\/em>podcast in 2022. The series features both brothers chatting about their careers in the NFL as well as their personal lives. When Travis hosted\u00a0Saturday Night Live<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>in March 2023, Jason was there to support him and even appeared in a sketch.\u00a0As a retired football player, Jason now hosts ESPN\u2019s late-night show, <\/span>They Call It Late Night with Jason Kelce<\/span><\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Jason<\/a> has been married to his wife\u00a0Kylie McDevitt<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>since 2018. The couple have three daughters,<\/a> welcoming their third<\/a> just about two weeks after facing off against the Chiefs in the Super Bowl. Quite a few videos have surfaced of Jason showing off what a great dad he is to three daughters over the years, whether he\u2019s playing with them at home<\/a> or at the Pro Bowl. <\/a>In November 2024, they announced that they are expecting their fourth child, another girl, due to arrive in 2025.<\/span><\/p>\n

Amid Travis\u2019 relationship with Taylor, Jason has been a key figure. Back when the Chiefs player admitted to trying to hand the singer a friendship bracelet with his number<\/a> on it during The Eras Tour,\u00a0<\/em>Jason teased him on their podcast. During the early rumors, the Eagles player was also subjected to questions about his brother\u2019s love life<\/a>. In one interview, he said that he thought the rumors were \u201call 100 percent true<\/a>.\u201d Jason has had some fun with the rumors, tweeting a video<\/a> of a Swiftie calling out Taylor for dating a Chiefs player, despite saying she was an Eagles fan. \u201cPreach!\u201d he wrote. \u201cGo Birds!\u201d<\/p>\n

Jason gave his honest feelings<\/a> about Travis dating Taylor in an interview with NBC Sports<\/a> in October 2023. \u201cIt\u2019s certainly been weird, the level that it is now,\u201d Jason said. \u201cOn one hand, I\u2019m happy for my brother<\/a> that he seems to be in a relationship that he\u2019s excited about, that he is genuine about. But there\u2019s another end of it where it\u2019s like, \u2018Man, this is a lot.’\u201d<\/p>\n

After the Eagles lost in the playoffs for the 2023 season, Jason shifted his attention to cheering on his brother! The Eagles center went viral when he went shirtless and began chugging beers among the fans when the Chiefs faced off against the Buffalo Bills during their playoff game. He also adorably helped a young Swiftie show her sign<\/a> to his brother\u2019s new girlfriend.<\/a><\/p>\n

After the fact, Jason did admit that it was the first time that he was meeting Taylor, and he was just trying to make thee best impression he could (despite Kylie\u2019s warnings), which Travis confirmed he did.<\/a> \u201cShe\u2019s like, \u2018be on your best behavior.\u2019 I was like, \u2018Kylie, the first day I met you I was blacked out drunk and fell asleep at the bar.\u2019 This is part of the charm. This is part of the Jason Kelce charm. I want to make my best first impression. This is my best chance,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Jason has also paid his compliments to Taylor. He gushed about her<\/a> in an interview with a local radio station. \u201cShe\u2019s a world star, she\u2019s the quintessential, you know, artist right now in the world, singer-songwriter, immensely talented, unbelievable role model for young women across the globe,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Travis is the younger son of a proud mama, Donna Kelce! Donna is a retired senior vice president for Truist, which she stepped down from in 2021. Since retiring, she\u2019s been a full-time NFL mom with two sons to root for! Of course, there was a bit of drama ahead of Super Bowl LVII, where both of her sons faced off against each other for the championship. She was the first mother to have two sons competing against each other in the big game. Ahead of the game, Donna was a guest on her sons\u2019 podcast to reveal that she\u2019d first greet Travis on the field<\/a> no matter the outcome, since Jason\u2019s wife and children would be there for him. At the game, she did wear a jersey<\/a> with both of her son\u2019s uniforms split down the middle. While Travis won, it\u2019s clear she\u2019s proud of both of her sons.<\/p>\n

Ahead of Super Bowl LVII, Donna did admit that she\u2019d keep the peace at Thanksgiving after the game in a\u00a0Today<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>interview. \u201cObviously, there\u2019s gonna be somebody that\u2019s gonna go home heartbroken, they\u2019re not gonna have bragging rights at the Thanksgiving table, but this is gonna be an awesome event and I\u2019m really looking forward to it,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Amid the early rumors about Travis and Taylor, the singer was seen hanging out with Donna at the Chiefs game on September 24, 2023. The \u201cShake It Off\u201d singer wore Chiefs colors, while standing in a box suite with Travis\u2019 mother, who rocked one of her son\u2019s jerseys. Since then, Donna has confirmed that she approves of her younger son\u2019s new relationship. \u201cI can tell you this, he\u2019s happier than I\u2019ve seen him in a long time,\u201d Donna told WSJ. Magazine<\/a> <\/em>on November 20. \u201cGod bless him. He shot for the stars!\u201d<\/p>\n

Donna has spent a fair amount of time with Taylor since she started dating her son. She\u2019s even made nods to some of the memes<\/a> that have arisen amid the popstar\u2019s romance with Travis.<\/p>\n

Donna was married to Jason and Travis\u2019 dad Ed for almost 25 years. He had a long career in the steel industry, having a family with a strong military background, per\u00a0People<\/a>.\u00a0<\/em>The couple split up, but they opened up about why they stayed together for so long because of their kids in the documentary\u00a0Kelce.\u00a0<\/em>\u201cIf we had split as we probably both would have preferred, that would have been a nightmare with the logistics, getting kids where they had to be and providing all the support,\u201d Ed said, via\u00a0People<\/a>.\u00a0<\/em>During the COVID-19 pandemic, Ed moved closer to Jason to spend time with his granddaughters.<\/p>\n

Like his ex-wife, Ed was prepared for an emotional game during Super Bowl LVII. He told his sons that he planned to see whoever lost on the field first on their podcast. \u201cBut by 10 o\u2019clock Sunday night, somebody\u2019s brokenhearted and somebody\u2019s celebrating. We\u2019ll deal with that the best we can when it happens,\u201d he told\u00a0The Los Angeles Times\u00a0<\/em><\/a>ahead of the game.<\/p>\n

Like his ex-wife, Ed has spent time with Taylor while cheering on Travis and the Chiefs. Ed was seen chatting with Taylor at one of Travis\u2019 game in October 2023. While they\u2019ve been spending a lot of time together, Travis\u2019 dad did admit that he didn\u2019t know Taylor<\/a> when they first met. He joked that he felt like \u201ca real idiot\u201d for not recognizing her in a radio interview. \u201cTaylor comes in, walks in with a security guard and I look at her and I had my girlfriend with me and I mention to\u00a0Maureen<\/strong>, \u2018Oh my god, I know this kid but I don\u2019t know what her name is,’\u201d he said, noting that he regularly met lots of people during Chiefs games.<\/p>\n
