If you’re from Philly, you don’t just like sports—you live and breathe them. Whether the Eagles are flying high or crashing hard, fans show up, loud and relentless. Hate them? They don’t care. And right now, the only thing that matters in the City of Brotherly Love is the Super Bowl. And talking of ‘brotherly love’ a little bit of Travis and Jason Kelce ahead of the SB LIX is just hitting so purely.
You see, the Eagles are set to face Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs in a rematch of Super Bowl LVII. But for Jason, it’s more than that. I mean, after all, he has spent his whole life bleeding green. Now, he’s got to watch his own brother line up on the other side.
But for those questioning where his heart truly lies, he gave his answer in the most Kelce way possible—by changing his X profile picture to a throwback of a young Travis holding a basketball. Subtle? Not at all.

But this is Jason we’re talking about. When has he ever been subtle? If that wasn’t enough, Travis backed him up. So, for anyone still doubting his loyalty, take it from Trav himself: Big Yeti’s got love for both sides.
You see, Jason wasn’t just an Eagle. He was the Eagle. A sixth-round draft pick turned franchise icon, he played 13 seasons in Philly, won a Super Bowl, and stacked up enough All-Pro nods to guarantee himself a gold jacket. His retirement in March 2024 was the end of an era. But his love for this city? That didn’t retire with him.

The man’s still out here signing Phillies baseball cards and making sure his presence in Philly sports never fades. He may have grown up in Ohio, but let’s be real—Jason Kelce is Philly’s own ‘crazy’ Kelce.
But here’s the problem and Jason admitted on New Heights that Super Bowl LIX has him all kinds of conflicted. “I’m rooting for Philadelphia, and I’m rooting for Travis Kelce,” he said. “No matter what, on game day, I’m going to be happy for one of those sides, and I’m gonna be sad for the other side.” That’s as real as it gets. One way or another, February 9 is going to hurt.

Travis Kelce wants Jason to support where his heart lies
Jason Kelce and his wife, Kylie, have never been shy about where their loyalty stands. They bleed green. Philly isn’t just where they live—it’s who they are. But when family steps onto the other sideline? That’s where things get tricky. With Travis Kelce and the Chiefs set to face the Eagles in Super Bowl LIX, the Kelces are caught in a pickle.
Kylie and Jason will be in the Superdome for the game, but their three daughters—Wyatt, Elliotte, and Bennett—are staying home. Not because of some deep-rooted team struggle, but because, as Kylie put it, “The logistics of travel, school, and childcare were just too overwhelming.” Plus, let’s be real—kids sitting through an entire Super Bowl? That’s a challenge on its own. Instead, the little Kelces will be tuning in from home, sporting custom “Go Uncle Trav” shirts. Because yes, they love the Eagles. But they also love their uncle.

That’s all Jason and Kylie’s part of the plan. To make sure, that ‘Uncle Trav’ knows that he is being loved. And they can bet that he knows it. He knows where his brother and sister-in-law stand. And he knows that it’s totally fine as well. “Jason and Kylie, I love them to death. This game isn’t going to get between how much I love them,” he said this week.
Still, seeing his nieces rock those shirts? That meant something. “It warms my heart and gives me something else to fight for.” Because sure, the Lombardi Trophy is nice. But family? That’s bigger than football (yes, even when you are chasing immortality).
