Travis Kelce And Jason Kelce talk about their podcast and Travis’ relationship with Taylor Swift changed trajectory. Meanwhile, Travis made a subtle fashion statement in honor of his girlfriend.
During their appearance at Sport Beach 2024 in Cannes, France, in support of their podcast, New heights with Jason and Travis Kelce, Travis was spotted wearing a pair of friendship bracelets that read “Cannes” and “Fearless.” The latter, of course, is a nod to Swift’s album and hit single of the same name.
According to Peoplethe balls were handmade by a fan at the festival.
While speaking on a panel at the event, Travis explained how the brother’s original vision for the podcast was to take the mask off the football helmet and get people to see their personality and who they are .
He pointed out that although they may appear as two completely different players on the pitch, getting to know the footballers reveals their brotherly bond.
Jason added a more personal perspective on the importance of the podcast, noting that for him and Travis, it was a way for brothers to communicate. Jason revealed that during their careers, they would sometimes go months without speaking to each other. The podcast gave them the opportunity to chat each week, highlighting how the show strengthened their relationship.
Jason, 36, described the experience as “fun,” emphasizing the importance of remaining loyal to both his new fans and the loyal listeners who supported them before Travis, 34, began his high-profile romance with Swift.
“We want to be careful to stay true to the people who listened to us from day one,” Jason said, acknowledging that many of their original listeners “are die-hard soccer fans” looking for soccer-related content in the show.
The former Philadelphia Eagles center explained that New heights has always included a “lifestyle” element where the brothers discuss their daily lives “even before the demographic shift” when Travis and Swift went public with their relationship.
“But now it’s really expanded,” Jason shared. “It’s been fun for me; I have three little girls, so in a way the show and everything that’s happened over the last year has given girls reason to get involved in a sport which previously did not arouse much interest.”
“So all of a sudden, dads are hanging out with their daughters, and there are worlds colliding, and our show becomes another place where worlds collide, and it’s awesome,” Jason continued .
Travis echoed his brother’s sentiments, giving insight into how they balance their football content and lifestyle. “You have to listen to your viewers, you have to listen to the commentary and your demographic, and see who you’re talking to,” the Kansas City Chiefs tight end explained.
Earlier this monthJason addressed the intense public attention focused on his family amid his brother’s death. romance with Fastsaying woman Kylie Kelce East sometimes wary of attention aiming to their children.
When about comedian Andrew Santino Ginger Whiskey podcast, Jason was asked about the spotlight on his wife. Santino maintained that Kylie is “most famous at this point” than her NFL star husband.
“She should be,” Jason replied. “Without a doubt.”
Santino then asked if Kylie liked to be the center of attentionspeculating that “it seems like she doesn’t really want this nonsense, but she’s okay with it.”
Jason thought about the couplethe decision to welcome cameras into their homes for Prime Video Kelce documentary, which chronicled the athlete’s 2022-2023 football season as he toyed with the idea of retirement. That year, he ended up confronting his younger brother in Super Bowl LVII as the first siblings to compete for the Lombardi Trophy. (Travis and his Kansas City Chiefs emerged victorious.)
“We made the documentary a few years ago,” he told Santino. “I think she’s a little uncomfortable, I guess, with how bad it’s become and our family is over there, like, people know what our children look like.”
He added that he and Kylie had “tried to back off a little bit,” but acknowledged that it “comes with the territory.”
Kelce fell in September, the same month as Swift and Travis went public with their relationship. The doc quickly became Prime’s most watched documentary of all time in the United States.
“Travis and Taylor have gone to another level and it’s a whole different aspect,” Jason said on Ginger Whiskey of glory. “Kylie and I think we’re in a bad place, and then we date one of them for a second. It’s a whole different situation here. I don’t even know how, like, you can’t be a normal person at that time.
Jason said fame “can be too much sometimes,” but he also humbly acknowledged the privileged position he and Kylie found themselves in because of it.
“It’s hard to always be available, you know what I mean, but I think, more often than not, it’s such a great interaction whenever you do this stuff and the vast majority of people are beyond respect and appreciation,” he said. said. “We’re very fortunate to be able to be where we are. And it’s all because of these people who are really, really big fans.”
For Kylie, she is especially grateful for the public interest for his charitable efforts. The mother of three works closely with the Eagles Autism Foundation and serves as youth field hockey coach.
“I think she enjoys the fact that she can do charity outings, that she can give back to the community,” Jason told Santino, adding that there are also aspects of fame that she “shies away from a bit more”.
He remembers her saying, “I didn’t really sign up for this. And I’m like, “Everything’s going to be okay, we’re going to get through this.”
Jason and Kylie got married in 2018 and share three daughters: Wyatt, 4, Elliotte, 3, and Bennett, 16 months.
Earlier this year, Jason announced his retirement of the NFL and has since signed to serve as a sportscaster for ESPN Monday Night Football. Her first mission will be in San Francisco this fall when the 49ers take on the New York Jets.
Meanwhile, Travis recently signed a two-year contract extension with the Kansas City Chiefs. The $34.25 million deal — including $17 million fully guaranteed this year — makes him the highest-paid tight end in the league.
The star player was widely praised for remaining unapologetically himself amid increased public scrutiny over the past year, with Jason adding his voice to the chorus.
As for his personal life, a source told ET last month that those close to Travis and Swift see a bright future for the couple.
“Taylor and Travis are doing wonderfully, and those close to them see an engagement coming sooner rather than later,” the source said. “They are having a great match and there is no doubt about it.”
