Kylie Kelce is opening up about bringing her and Jason Kelce‘s daughters to see uncle Travis Kelce play at Arrowhead Stadium for the first time.
“The girls had not yet seen Uncle Trav play in Arrowhead Stadium,” Kylie, 33, said on the Thursday, December 18, episode of her “Not Gonna Lie” podcast, joking that she had “some business” being at the Kansas City Chiefs vs. Los Angeles Chargers game that weekend.
Kylie and Jason, 38, share Wyatt, 6, Ellie, 4, Bennett, 2, and Finn, 8 months. The little ones were spotted with their parents in a suite at the stadium in Kansas City on Sunday, December 14, along with Travis’ fiancée, Taylor Swift. In footage shared via social media, Swift, 36, was seen high-fiving and holding the kids throughout the game.
Though her older daughters saw Travis and the Chiefs win the Super Bowl in 2023 — defeating Jason and the Philadelphia Eagles — Kylie said it was “a really cool moment” for the girls to see their uncle on his home field.

“It was also super exciting to get to see friends and family that were there, because the girls were so excited to get to watch a game with all of them,” Kylie continued.
The actual game, however, wasn’t as exciting for the kids. “They are not that interested in football, to be quite honest with you,” Kylie joked. “They actually yell at us any time we try to put football on the TV and only get on board after a little while of realizing that they can freely yell. Finnie slept for, like, an hour and a half there, so she’s a real one. She actually slept through all the screaming and cheering, which is hilarious to me.”
While Sunday’s game was a fun bonding opportunity for the Kelce family, the Chiefs faced a brutal blow when quarterback Patrick Mahomes was injured. He was officially diagnosed with an ACL tear, with the team announcing Monday, December 15, that he “successfully underwent surgery” and will begin rehab “immediately.”
The Chiefs ultimately lost to the Chargers 16-13, ending their hopes of making the playoffs this season. Travis, 36, spoke candidly about the upset on the Wednesday, December 17, episode of his “New Heights” podcast.
“We got three games left, I know we’re still talking about this game, but the integrity of who you are as a professional, as a player, you gotta love this s***, man. And Chiefs Kingdom, we’re gonna give you everything we got. There’s no question about that,” he said. “There’s only one way I do things, there’s only one way Coach Reid does things, and if we’re gonna go out there and play some football, we’re gonna do it the right way and keep trying to get these things fixed and end on the highest note we can.”

Travis, who is currently in his 13th NFL season, emphasized that it’s “an honor” to be playing on the professional level. “I’ll tell you what, man, if there’s a game to be had, I’m gonna go out there and I’m gonna love f***ing playing in it, no matter if it’s a game that’s in the playoffs or gets us in the playoffs or a game that, you know, seems like it doesn’t have any implications of that. That’s the integrity you gotta go out there with,” he continued.
Despite the disappointing result, Travis had family by his side on Sunday. Both he and Swift have spoken at length about spending time with Kylie, Jason and their daughters.
During her podcast on Thursday, Kylie gushed over how Travis has embraced his “funcle” role.
“He’ll do anything to make [the kids] happy,” she said. “He wants to flip them, play with them, get on the floor, play Barbies. He’ll dance until they tell him to stop. It’s all of it.”
