With another Chiefs vs. Eagles Super Bowl on the horizon, there’s no question who Kylie Kelce will be rooting for — but this year, her daughters are getting involved.
Kylie, 32, revealed during the Thursday, January 30, episode of her “Not Gonna Lie” podcast that she was at the NFC Championship Game over the weekend to watch Jason Kelce‘s former team, the Philadelphia Eagles, defeat the Washington Commanders. Jason, 37, was at the AFC Championship Game to cheer on his brother, Travis Kelce, and the Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium.
After recapping her experience at the Sunday, January 26, game in Philadelphia, Kylie addressed “the elephant in the room” by revealing which team will have her support in the Super Bowl next month. Jason and the Eagles previously lost to Travis, 37, and the Chiefs in the 2023 Super Bowl, which some fans dubbed the “Kelce Bowl.”
“Obviously, this time when the Eagles play the Chiefs, it is a little bit different because my husband is retired from the Eagles,” Kylie, who is a diehard Eagles fan independently from her marriage to Jason, explained. “That being said, I am so happy and proud of Travis and the Chiefs’ accomplishments. I think that the opportunity to play for such a historic milestone is incredible to be able to potentially witness. And I think that Travis has been there for his entire career, he has worked so hard and put in so much time that I am truly as always cheering Travis on. I love him, he’s my family. So I will always cheer on Travis’ accomplishments and hopefully successes.”

However, Kylie’s love for her brother-in-law doesn’t quite compare to her love for the Eagles. “I was raised to bleed green,” she continued. “I have friends who are still associated with the team. I have a close relationship with a lot of people in the Eagles organization. I get to live in the Philadelphia community, so I will also be cheering for the success of those people.”
Torn between the two sides, Kylie teased, “Ultimately, the plan is to go to the game and to cheer.”
Travis’ nieces — Kylie and Jason share daughters Wyatt, 5, Ellie, 3, and Bennett, 23 months, with another baby girl on the way — have permission to be a little less biased.
“We have made moves to get the girls ‘Go Uncle Trav’ shirts,” Kylie said on Thursday. “Because they love their uncle, and of course, they love cheering him on. And to be fair, they love cheering on the Birds too, but he is our family. I want to make sure that the girls feel included.”
When there’s not a Super Bowl title on the line, Kylie has no hard feelings toward Chiefs Kingdom. “Any other week, when I see Chiefs fans, I will tell them, ‘Go Chiefs.’ I will not be saying that for the next two weeks,” she said. “I can’t bring myself to do it, because then it feels as though I’m actively wishing it against [the Eagles]. … This is hard, I don’t like this. I’m not having fun.”
Jason Kelce Debates What to Wear for Chiefs vs. Eagles Super Bowl
Jason, who retired from the NFL in 2024 after 13 seasons, has also been candid about which team he’ll be cheering for. During a March 2024 episode of his “New Heights” podcast, Jason said he would “of course” root for the Eagles, which Travis called “b——-.”
Jason shared even more insight into his loyalty on the Wednesday, January 29, episode of the siblings’ podcast. “Here’s the biggest thing. Obviously, you’re my brother. I’ll always root for my brother. That’s the reality of it, even though I’m decked out in Eagles gear [right now]. I’m always going to root for Travis,” he said, noting that his former teammates still “feel like extended family” post-retirement.
“I still feel like I’m a Philadelphia Eagle and I’m a part of all of these people who root and cheer on our team,” he added. “I would be lying if I said I don’t want the Eagles to win. I want them to, but I also want Travis Kelce to win.”
A more impartial option? “I’m rooting for Cher,” Jason teased after blasting “Believe,” which he called “the f—ing song of Super Bowl LIX.”
