Kylie’s loyalty was also evident at Super Bowl LVIII in February 2024, when the Chiefs faced the San Francisco 49ers.
“Don’t make me do this, Jason,” he said before adding, “I’m absolutely rooting for Travis, for sure, I am 100% rooting for Travis. “You hear that, Jets fans?” he said. “Don’t f*cking lie to my face,” he said. “At least my sister-in-law will tell me to my face, ‘F*ck you, I hope the Birds win,’” Travis said. She also wore an “Alright Nah” shirt underneath, referencing Travis. She just refuses,” Jason said on New Heights.
Travis Kelce has learned that family ties do not always translate into football support. His sister-in-law, Kylie Kelce, remains firmly committed to the Philadelphia Eagles, even when her brother-in-law is on the opposite side. During a recent episode of New Heights, Travis recalled how openly Kylie expresses that loyalty, including a blunt message she would deliver directly to him. The conversation began with a debate about another NFL team’s loyalties, but it soon offered a fresh glimpse into the Kelce family’s approach to football rivalries. When Jason asked which team he would support, Chatzky tried to avoid upsetting either side. “He’s a f*cking phony. He’s a phony. When Chatzky suggested that backing Travis did not necessarily mean rooting against the Jets, Travis pushed back again. That was when Kylie became his example of someone who never hides her football allegiance. She attended the game to support Travis but refused to wear Kansas City merchandise. Instead, she chose a red University of Cincinnati shirt, a nod to the college attended by both Kelce brothers. “I have tried [saying], ‘Kylie, we have family in the game, it’s okay to cheer on that team. They’re not playing the Eagles. You realize this isn’t against the Eagles, right?
Jason had previously explained that even having family on the field could not persuade Kylie to wear Chiefs gear.
