Jason Kelce explains why Kylie refused to wear Chiefs’ gear at Super Bowl LVIII: “Respect that loyalty”

For football fans across the country, loyalty to their franchise is of utmost importance. The community takes their allegiances very seriously, and seldom does that change over a period of time.

However, what wasn’t known until now is that some players and their families have also formed allegiances to a particular franchise, perhaps with even more passion than that of fans. Take Jason Kelce, for example, the Eagles starlet recently revealed his wife Kylie Kelce’s extent of fanaticism, and it caught a lot of fans by surprise.

Jason explains why Kylie Kelce’s refusal to wear Chiefs gear

The recently concluded Super Bowl was a big deal for the NFL community in the States, but it was an even bigger deal for the Kelce family as they had skin in the game. Travis Kelce, the star TE for the Kansas City Chiefs, featured heavily in the Super Bowl and helped his team clinch a nail-biting overtime victory against the San Fransisco 49ers.

The entire Kelce fam was in attendance, including Kylie Kelce, the wife of Travis’ brother Jason. However, as revealed by Jason himself, Kylie refused to put on the Chiefs’ jersey to cheer his brother-in-law as a sign of allegiance to the Philadelphia Eagles, the franchise her husband plays for.

In a recent conversation in their very own podcast, the two brothers discussed this bizarre choice. According to them, Jason tried to convince his wife. He said, “She will not do it. I try to tell her ‘Listen Kylie, we have family in the game. It’s okay to cheer on that team. They’re not playing the Eagles.’ She just refuses to do it.”

Travis Kelce took this in good spirits, saying, “Don’t you f— around with my fandom over the birds. I respect it, Ky. I appreciate you even wearing red. You could have worn something neutral and just showed your support — you showing up was enough for me, so I appreciate it.”

Exploring Jason-Kylie Kelce relationship timeline

Jason Kelce and his wife Kylie have established themselves as one of the most stable and loving couples in the entire NFL circuit, perhaps second only to the incredible pairing of his younger brother Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift.

After meeting in 2015 on dating websites, the couple got off to a sound start and grew closer together through the years. In 2017, Kylie started attending Eagles’ games on a regular basis and started showing off her man on social media. Ultimately, the couple tied the know in 2018 in an intimate ceremony and have been going strong ever since.

The couple has three beautiful daughters named Wyatt [4], Elliotte [2], and the youngest Bennett, who was born in February 2023.
