In the Kelce household, NFL rivalry simmers, pitting blood against heart.
At the center of this gridiron divide is Kylie Kelce, the wife of Philadelphia Eagles" iconic center, Jason Kelce, and the sister-in-law of Chiefs" superstar tight end, Travis Kelce.
Kylie Kelce"s unwavering commitment to the Eagles is nothing short of remarkable.
She"s the kind of hardcore fan who proudly dons the green and silver.
In a candid moment featured in Jason Kelce"s documentary on Prime Video in September 2023, Kylie made her stance abundantly clear, stating:
“I am like an Eagles fan to the extent of, like, if Jason ever went and played for another team, I would wear ‘Kelce," I would not wear another team"s stuff. Like, I"ve thought about that a number of times where I just couldn"t do it. It sounds terrible."
Such loyalty is admirable, but it"s not without its moments of inner conflict.
Kylie recounted a moment from 2020 when the Chiefs were in the throes of a thrilling playoff run, while the Eagles languished on the sidelines.
The Kelce couple found themselves at a playoff game deep in the heart of Chiefs territory, and Kylie wrestled with the dilemma of whether she was obligated or expected to swap her Eagles" green for a Chiefs jersey.
But it doesn"t end there. Kylie also made it clear that she won"t partake in the popular Chiefs fan tradition known as the “Chiefs Chop."
“We went to a playoff game in Kansas City, and I was like, ‘Do I have to [wear his jersey]?'" Kylie recounted with a hint of reluctance. “Like, Trav knows that, like, I always want Travis to be successful, and obviously, I always want Jason to be successful. But like, I"m not going to be out here doing the Chiefs chop."
Jason Kelce, though not a native Philadelphian, has become an indelible part of the City of Brotherly Love.
Drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles in 2011, he"s donned the green jersey for 12 remarkable seasons and has earned the title of the “King of Philly."
On the other hand, Kylie"s roots in Eagles country are firmly planted. She hails from Narberth, a Main Line suburb of Philadelphia.
The love story between Jason and Kylie Kelce started on Tinder. On April 14, 2018, the duo got hitched.
Today, they are the proud parents of three daughters, Bennett Llewellyn, Elliotte Ray, and Wyatt.
