Jason Kelce and Travis Kelce\u2019s father, Ed Kelce<\/a>, is confirming his weight loss journey<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cA couple of years ago, I got beautiful shirts from my friends at Tommy Bahamas [sic] in 2XL. Since then I\u2019ve lost quite a bit of weight and now wear an XL,\u201d Ed wrote via Instagram<\/a> on Thursday, June 18, sharing a photo of a pile of clothes. \u201cWhen the folks at Tommy Bahamas heard about this, they sent me new shirts in XL. How cool is this?\u201d<\/p>\n

Ed further thanked the Tommy Bahama brand for gifting him a new batch of T-shirts and a pair of Olikai sandals \u2014 \u201cNew Heights version.\u201d (Ed and his ex-wife, Donna Kelce, raised their two sons<\/a> in Cleveland Heights, Ohio, which eventually inspired the brother\u2019s football podcast name.)<\/p>\n

While Ed hasn\u2019t further detailed his weight loss progress, he offered fans a glimpse of his slimmed down physique in a second social media upload.<\/p>\n

Papa Kelce, explained during the Friday, January 26, episode of the \u201cBaskin & Phelps\u201d podcast. Ed, who shares Jason, 36, and son Travis Kelce\u00a0with [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n

\u201cGonna have some fun in Sea Isle,\u201d Ed captioned<\/a> a Thursday video of himself modeling his new Tommy Bahama merch.<\/p>\n

In the footage, Ed sported a gray polo with a Philadelphia Eagles logo in honor of Jason\u2019s former NFL team.<\/p>\n

\u201cHey everybody, I wanted to show you this really cool shirt I got from our friends at Tommy Bahama,\u201d he gushed at the time. \u201c[It] comes with the Eagles logo already on it. Check out the back! Is this cool or what?\u201d<\/p>\n

The backside of the shirt read, \u201cTommy Bahama Eagles\u201d above an illustration of an Eagles football player in uniform. The front, meanwhile, featured an Eagles Autism patch that matched a similar one on athletes\u2019 jerseys.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is to raise awareness for the Eagles Autism Foundation,\u201d he explained. \u201cNext week, Wednesday and Thursday, June 24 and 25, we have a fundraiser going on in Sea Isle City. We\u2019re going to have a great time. I\u2019m going to get players, any celebrities there [and] as many people as I can to sign this [shirt]. Afterward, we\u2019ll raffle this off to raise a few more bucks for a very worthy cause. So, come on out and have fun with us next week!\u201d<\/p>\n
