Travis Kelce’s sweet reaction to Kylie Kelce’s Eagles loyalty reveals the special bond behind their football rivalry
The conversation took place during the November 4 episode of New Heights, which Travis hosts with his older brother, Jason Kelce. He initially hesitated before saying, “I’m absolutely rooting for Travis, for sure, I am 100% rooting for Travis. Her decision not to wear Chiefs merchandise became especially noticeable during Super Bowl LVIII in February 2024.
Because travis was playing, jason had explained the situation during an earlier New Heights episode, revealing that he had tried to convince his wife to make an exception.
Laughing at his colleague, he told him, “You hear that Jets fans? “At least my sister-in-law will tell me to my face, ‘F*** you, I hope the Birds win,’” Travis said, making Jason and Chatzky laugh. He said, “I have tried saying, ‘Kylie, we have family in the game, it’s okay to cheer on that team.
The brothers were discussing the Kansas City Chiefs’ upcoming game against the New York Jets when longtime show staffer Jake Chatzky found himself caught between his childhood team and his boss. Travis used the exchange to explain why he appreciates Kylie’s straightforward approach to football. Since Chatzky grew up supporting New York, the question put him in an awkward position. Travis was quick to question his answer. He’s a f***ing phony. He’s a phony. The playful argument gave Travis a reason to bring Kylie into the conversation. Unlike Chatzky, she has never tried to hide which team she wants to win, even when her brother-in-law is playing for the opposition. Kylie’s loyalty to the Philadelphia Eagles is not something she has started showing recently. She has supported the team since childhood, and her connection to Philadelphia has remained strong even after marrying former Eagles center Jason Kelce. The game brought the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers together, giving Kylie a chance to support Travis on one of the biggest nights of his career. However, she still refused to wear an official Chiefs shirt. They’re not playing the Eagles. You realize this isn’t against the Eagles right? She just refuses.”
Jason asked Chatzky which side he would support when the Jets and Chiefs met on Sunday.
