Despite their uncle being one of the biggest stars in the NFL, Jason Kelce’s children have yet to watch Travis play in person for the Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium.
And their mom has a simple reason why. As he begins his latest NFL season, it’s uncertain how many more chances he will get before Travis, who is dating Taylor Swift, decides to retire for good.
Kylie Kelce explained that timing has been the main obstacle, outside of previously admitting that she didn’t trust Jason to watch their kids alone. Over the past five years, the Kelce family has been so busy that they have yet to find the time to attend even one of the 105 combined regular-season and postseason games featuring the Chiefs.
“The girls have not yet been to an Uncle Trav game just because a lot of opportunities that we’ve had to go and support Trav have been, even just last year, a lot of Monday nights,” she said to People. “I think two different Monday Night Football opportunities.
“But as anyone knows, an 8 pm start is not conducive to a 5, 4, and 2-year-old. We’re not tagging in on that, so maybe we’ll get out there for a nice 1 pm. Sunday with the girls.”
Kansas City had two Monday games on the schedule last season and won both games, including a Week 5 victory against the New Orleans Saints. An overtime victory against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 9 saw both Swift and Brittany Mahomes cheering from the stands, despite a fourth-quarter injury scare for the latter’s husband, Patrick.
Jason and Kylie’s eldest child, Wyatt, was born in 2019, two seasons after Jason and the Philadelphia Eagles clinched the Super Bowl.
Their second child, Elliotte, arrived on March 4, 2021, six months before the Eagles’ season opener and the first campaign under head coach Nick Sirianni, who would later lead his team to a resounding victory over Travis’ Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX.
Bennett, their third child, was born on February 23, 2023, just a year before Jason announced his retirement.
The newest member of the family, Finnley ‘Finn’ Anne, made her grand arrival on March 30 in a year where the Chiefs are set to feature in two nationally televised Monday night games on ABC and ESPN.
In Week 5, they’ll go up against the Jacksonville Jaguars at EverBank Stadium. During Week 8, they’ll face off against the Washington Commanders at Arrowhead. The Chiefs will also take on the Kelce family’s hometown Eagles in Philadelphia in a Super Bowl rematch on September 14.
