Retired former Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce revealed that pop superstar Taylor Swift had a "staggering" impact on his brother, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, since they began dating in 2023.
The elder Kelce appeared on the Fitz & Whit podcast hosted by former NFL players Ryan Fitzpatrick and Andrew Whitworth this week and said his brother used to be like "Peter Pan and the Lost boys" but sees that "it's changing" since dating Swift.
"It's been staggering, honestly," Jason said.
"I think sometimes you get people in your life that maybe get that out of you," he added. "And that's a good thing."
Jason's wife, Kylie, previously revealed when she and her husband found out about Travis' relationship with Swift during an appearance on the Call Her Daddy podcast last week.
"I will say we knew before everyone else knew," Kylie said, confirming that she and Jason were aware of the relationship prior to Swift's first appearance at Travis' game at Arrowhead Stadium on September 24, 2023, but clarified, "It did not hit the group chat."
"Jason and I found out together. But, we knew before, like, they hard launched with her going to a game," she added.
Travis famously revealed that he attempted to give Taylor a friendship bracelet with his phone number when he attended her concert at Arrowhead Stadium prior to their relationship in 2023. Swift later said that the three-time Super Bowl champion "very adorably put me on blast" when he acknowledged the situation on his podcast, which she said "was metal as hell" while being featured as Time Magazine's 'Person of the Year' in December 2023.
