AceShowbiz - Former Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce, 37, jokingly shares his perspective on playing against younger brother Travis Kelce, a tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs. "It's annoying, is what it is," Jason says, highlighting Travis's exceptional talent.
He adds that seeing his brother on the field triggers childhood memories of backyard football. "Because he's so good, that's why. They [the Kansas City Chiefs] were very good. I was only fortunate to beat Trav once, but, yeah, when you're out there on the field [and] you're getting ready to play your brother, there's just something about seeing your brother out there. You get these flashbacks of being out in the backyard playing football together," he shares.
Travis, 35, has been integral to the Chiefs' success, winning three Super Bowls (2020, 2023, 2024). Currently, the Chiefs are vying for their third consecutive Super Bowl victory with a 10-1 record in the 2024-2025 season.
Despite their on-field rivalry, the Kelce brothers maintain a strong bond, sharing glimpses of their family life and supporting each other. Their bond inspired Travis's monologue when he hosted "Saturday Night Live". Jason, drafted by the Eagles in 2011, retired after 13 seasons and now hosts ESPN's "They Call It Late Night with Jason Kelce". The show, featuring NFL legends, coaches and celebrities, will air weekly from January 3 to February 1, 2025 on ESPN.
Off the field, the Kelce family continues to make exciting announcements. Jason and his wife Kylie Kelce are expecting their fourth child, a girl, in 2025. Travis recently celebrated National Siblings Day by sharing heartwarming home videos of him and Jason throughout their lives.
Jason expresses his love for his daughters, noting their ability to bring joy and warmth. He adds that welcoming a fourth child will provide opportunities for sibling rivalry and bonding.
Jason's comments on playing against his brother highlight the competitive yet affectionate dynamic between the Kelce brothers, who have made significant contributions to the NFL. Their future endeavors, both on and off the field, promise to continue captivating fans.
