Kylie Kelce Makes Rare Comment on Brother-in-Law’s Romance With Taylor Swift
Kylie — who has been married to Travis’ brother Jason Kelce since 2018 — sat down with Savannah Guthrie and Hoda Kotb on the Monday, April 1, episode of the Today show, where she expressed her enthusiasm over Travis’ happiness in his romance with Swift.
“Ultimately, if Trav’s happy, we’re happy. We are always cheering on Uncle Trav,” Kylie, who shares three young daughters with Jason, told the Today cohosts. “It’s such a treat to be able to do that on and off the field. It’s been amazing.”
All eyes have been on Travis and Swift ever since the Kansas City Chiefs tight end revealed on his and Jason’s “New Heights” podcast that he attempted to give Swift his phone number after one of her Kansas City Eras Tour shows over the summer. While the initial meet-cute plan was a fail, the pair ultimately connected and debuted their relationship in September 2023 — with Swift cheering for Travis alongside his mom, Donna Kelce, as the Chiefs defeated the Chicago Bears at Arrowhead Stadium.
“I can tell you this: He’s happier than I’ve seen him in a long time,” Donna told WSJ Magazine on Travis and Swift’s relationship in November 2023. God bless him. “He shot for the stars!”
While Travis and Jason were at comfortable with their mother meeting the pop singer, they joked about being frightened when they saw Swift interacting with their father, Ed Kelce, at a game a month earlier.
“Yeah, Taylor talking to Dad,” Travis told his brother on an October 2023 episode of New Heights. “You know Dad, like I know Dad —” “He shouldn’t be talking to Taylor Swift,” Jason quipped, as Jason joked, “This is a terrifying conversation, I felt terrible for Taylor for being in this.”
The brothers admitted to giving their father a hard time, with Jason joking that their father told Swift, “Bless his heart.” He responded, ‘Now I’ve stolen all of your CDs out of the local library and burned them onto my computer. Jason and Kylie met after matching on Tinder and made plans to meet at a pub.
Jason, who retired from the Philadelphia Eagles earlier this year, paid homage to his wife in an emotional speech on the night they met. “I won’t forget the Eagles’ Christmas party in 2014 and heading out afterwards with a bunch of my teammates to Buffalo Billiards where my life would change forever.
That night, I’d meet my future wife. I still remember the moment she walked through the door,” he remembered, tearing up. “It was like she glided through the opening, an aura around her. Then she started talking and I thought, ‘Man, is this what love feels like?’ She was beautiful and smart, serious yet playful. I knew it right away.”
Kylie, for her part, recalled that night in not such as glowing terms while on Today on Monday, confirming that Jason actually fell asleep at the bar that night
Your turn next, Travis? Chiefs star Kelce plays the role of doting ‘uncle’ as he poses for photos with friends’ baby – after returning from Bahamas vacation with Taylor Swift
Travis Kelce proved to be a doting ‘uncle’ on Thursday when he visited friend Chandler Parsons’ home and posed for pictures with his newly-born son Chrome.
The Kansas City Chiefs star was filmed playing golf with Parsons earlier in the day before heading back to the former NBA player’s home to hang out with his family.
Pictures uploaded to Instagram showed Kelce beaming as he held Chrome, who was appropriately wearing pajamas covered in footballs.
Parsons’ wife, Haylee, captioned the picture: ‘Uncle Trav’s in town!’.
She also posted video of Kelce signing Chrome’s cranial helmet, which is fitted to correct the shape of a baby’s skull.

‘Making cranial helmets cool!’, Haylee commented before posting another video of Kelce completing the signature.
The sight of Kelce with a baby will undoubtedly excite Taylor Swift fans as the loved up couple’s relationship continues to thrive.
While there appears to be no children on the immediate horizon for the A-list couple, Swift has showed her maternal instincts in the past.
She is the godmother to actress Jaime King’s child and adorable photos of them together were posted on Instagram around eight years ago.
Kelce sparked engagement rumors and talks of having a baby with Swift earlier this month.
He was discussing ‘lab-grown’ rings and NBA players, like Victor Wembanyama, as he told his older brother Jason that he can’t wait until he ‘f***in’ makes his own little (or giant, rather) athlete, one day.
Travis and Taylor recently returned to the US after enjoying a break in the Bahamas where they were pictured frolicking on the beach and enjoying a kiss in the ocean.
The much needed vacation came after months of flying around the world to see each other amid their busy schedules.
But things have slowed down for them as of late, with the latest leg of her Eras Tour wrapping earlier this month and the athlete’s football season coming to an end in February.

‘This is the first time the two of them have had no commitments and they are both really looking forward to being a normal couple and playing house,’ a source previously revealed to DailyMail.com.
Taylor is known for spending her downtime baking and hosting friends – and the singer is said to be looking forward to doing the same with her partner.
‘She is looking forward to sleeping in and cooking dinners at home,’ the source continued.
‘They both want their relationship to be as normal as possible and it works because they are both very aware of their fame but neither let it go to their heads.’
However, the duo will still have to travel back and forth between their home bases in Kansas City, Missouri and New York City as Taylor prepares for the release of her next studio album, The Tortured Poets Department, on April 19.
The insider continued: ‘They will split their time between his house and NYC. Taylor is off Eras until May but that doesn’t mean she’s off completely.
‘She is working on her push for everything Tortured Poets in April and Travis is going to be there every step of the way.’
