Jason and Kylie married in 2018 and welcomed three daughters: Wyatt, Elliotte and Bennett. The little ones quickly grew fond of their “Uncle Trav,” who taunted his “beautiful” nieces during Kylie’s special episode of the brothers’ “New Heights” podcast in September 2023.
“This is a question from Kylie, Jason, shut up,” Travis teased the episode while asking about the couple’s parenting dynamic.
The trio’s close bond was on full display throughout the podcast, with Kylie regularly making playful jokes to both her husband and brother-in-law. Kylie even joked that Travis — who plays tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs — is an “honorary member” of Jason’s Philadelphia Eagles family.
‘Every time you come to Philly, [people] say, ‘It’s Jason’s brother!’” she told Travis. “They love you here.”

While Kylie tends to stay out of the spotlight, she appeared alongside Jason, Travis and their parents – Ed And Donna – in the 2023 Prime Video documentary Kelce. Fans also got a glimpse of her interacting with Jason as he virtually records ‘New Heights’ with his brother.
In October 2023, Kylie threw candy at Jason off-camera after asking for chocolates to give to trick-or-treaters at their door. As Travis watched the two bump into each other, he quietly said, “I love Kylie, man. The best sister a man could ever ask for.”

He will never forget her wedding day
Two months after Kylie and Jason’s wedding, Travis shared photos of the family’s special day. “Throw it back on Thursday!! After a Super Bowl run with a two-ring season!! Well played Jason… @kykelce I already told you this, but you are the best sister a man can be[k] for!!” he captioned a June 2018 Instagram slideshow. “I don’t know how, but you keep this crazy man in line and you have one of the biggest hearts I know!!”
He added: “I can’t wait for the future memories we will all enjoy together, but here are a few photos from a day I know I will remember forever! 4.14.18.”
She supports the Chiefs – sometimes
When Travis and his team won the 2020 Super Bowl, Kylie celebrated with a sweet photo of daughter Wyatt in an “Uncle Trav” outfit. “I’m so grateful that we saw the insanely talented and hardworking @killatrav and the Chiefs win the Super Bowl last weekend! Wyatt is so proud of her world champion uncle!” she gushed through Instagram at the time.
Three years later, Kylie and her daughters cheered for Jason as the Eagles took on the Chiefs in the 2023 Super Bowl, which the Chiefs ultimately won. Months later, Kylie revealed on “New Heights” that her kids recognize when Travis is playing. “They understand that if there are green jerseys on the field, that’s Dad,” she said. “And vice versa, they understand that if there is a red jersey on the field, this is Uncle Travis’s team.”
He takes her dating advice
Kylie and Jason reminisced about the beginning of their relationship during her 2023 episode “New Heights,” prompting Travis to jokingly say he should “get back on” the dating apps. He asked Kylie if he should use photos of himself with a mustache on his potential profile — and she gave him some tough love.
“This sounds a little harsh, but I think you should do the mustache.” [in your dating app photos] because if they swipe right at your worst, they’ll love you at your best,” she teased. Travis replied, “That doesn’t even hurt my feelings, that’s just smart.” (He continued to rock the mustache while dating Taylor Swift.)
She was a “Catching Kelce” fan
Travis played by himself Bachelor education-style dating series in 2016 titled Catching Kelce – which was filmed “early” in Jason’s relationship with Kylie. “I will say it was funny sitting in the stands and watching that debacle unfold,” Kylie said on “New Heights” in 2023.
Kylie was referring to the pilot episode taping, where 50 women from all 50 states were introduced to Travis. “That was fun, Trav,” she said before Jason mentioned one contestant who was “crying” because it was “so cold” during filming. “Wasn’t that [the girl from] Alaska?” Kylie teased.

Her memory of the short-lived series prompted Jason to joke, “Ky, you really enjoyed catching Kelce!” Do you remember which states everyone came from?
They’re not afraid to roast each other
Kylie remembered her “welcome to the Kelce.” [family] moment” during a conversation with Jason and Travis on “New Heights,” describing the 2016 NFL Pro Bowl in Hawaii. “We were there for Travis and it was the first time everyone was there [in the family] was in the same place at the same time,” she recalled, noting that it was also the first time she met Travis.
Travis had his own memories of the “magical” trip, telling listeners that Kylie was “shy” at first – until the group started playing a drinking game. “You did the exact same thing Jason tried to do, which was never actually win the game. It’s basically just to fool whoever you’re playing with,” he joked. “And you did that with Jason. And I was like, ‘Oh wow, this is a tag team that’s going to threaten America here.’
Kylie got her own playful jab elsewhere in the episode when Travis asked if he could be trusted with his nieces for an extended period of time “unsupervised.” “But who’s watching you?” she teased.
He supports her charity work
The entire Kelce family — including Travis — showed up at the annual Eagles Autism Challenge, which raises money for the Eagles Autism Foundation. Kylie is closely involved with the foundation and was inspired by a youth neighbor who has autism.
Travis further pressed his sister-in-law about her dedication to the cause during her appearance on “New Heights” in 2023. “I feel passionately that the Eagles Autism Foundation is doing their utmost to impact the autism community through programs and research. … Every dollar donated goes back to the autism community,” Kylie said, while Travis added, “All the events you guys are putting on to raise this money absolutely look like they are just an absolute blast.”
