Jason Kelce has hung up his cleats, but his love for the Philadelphia Eagles isn’t going anywhere. His wife, Kylie Kelce, is even more locked in as an Eagles diehard, being a lifelong Philadelphian, thanks to her roots.
The Kelces’ loyalty to the Birds has never been in question. However, now with Jason retired and his brother Travis suiting up for the Chiefs in a Super Bowl rematch, where does their allegiance truly lie?
Jason Kelce And Wife Kylie Kelce Are Hoping To Root For Both
Turns out, the Kelce household is walking a tightrope between family and football. Jason, ever the proud older brother, is Travis’ biggest fan, but he also admitted he still bleeds green.
“I’m rooting for Philadelphia, and I’m rooting for Travis Kelce,” Jason said on New Heights. “That’s the reality of it. No matter what, on game day, I’m going to be happy for one of those sides, and I’m gonna be sad for the other.”
As for Kylie, she’s staying true to her roots but isn’t about to ignore the family connection. She revealed that she and Jason will be at the game while their three daughters—Wyatt, Elliotte, and Bennett, will be watching from home in custom gear.
“We have made moves to get the girls ‘Go Uncle Trav’ shirts because they love their uncle, and of course, they love cheering him on,” Kylie shared on her Not Gonna Lie podcast.

Kylie made one thing clear via Vanity Fair, that her heart lies with the Eagles and that she will cheer on them, no matter what. So, while she and Jason will cheer for Travis personally, their hearts still belong to the Eagles.
“I was raised to bleed green.” As she put it, “This is hard. I don’t like it. It’s very exciting, but I’m mad about it.”
Kylie has always been vocal about her love for the team. Even after Jason left the team last year, she continues to cheer on them, so much so that she even refuses to don the jersey of any other NFL team.
Jason Kelce confirmed that Kylie Kelce does indeed refuse to wear any other team’s gear than the Eagles.
“She will not do it.. I try to tell her “Listen Kylie, we have family in the game. It’s okay to cheer on that team. They’re not playing the Eagles. She just refuses to do it”… pic.twitter.com/LYKqKHzoaZ

The mother of three and soon-to-be-mother again attended a special event hosted by the Eagles Autism Foundation on February 7 to cheer the Eagles’ fan up while meet the young specially-abled fans ahead of the big game.
The Kelce’s are truly making their support felt for the Eagles and their support for the team and Travis will be an interesting amalgamation to watch for the NFL fans.
