Jason Kelce revealed where his true loyalties lie when asked to choose between his brother Travis Kelce and his Philadelphia Eagles.
The legendary Eagles center, 36, will be watching next season’s Super Bowl from the stands after announcing his retirement from the NFL at the beginning of this month.
He hung up his cleats after an incredible 13-year career that included being on the losing side of a Super Bowl showdown against Travis and the Kansas City Chiefs last year.
But even though he won’t be on the field next year, Jason maintained he would stick by his beloved Philadelphia over his own brother, if Super Bowl LIX proves to be a rematch of the 2023 big game.
‘I will root for the Eagles of course because I will always be an Eagle first and foremost,’ he insisted when asked who he would support in the hypothetical situation on their New Heights podcast.

Travis and the Chiefs will look to make history next season in search of a Super Bowl three-peat
‘I will still root for Travis to have a good game because he’s my brother,’ he added. ‘But I will definitely be cheering on the Eagles in this scenario.’
An annoyed Travis could be heard grumbling in the background, branding Jason’s decision ‘bulls***’, before bitterly adding: ‘Well good luck to your Eagles.’
If Jason’s wish for the Chiefs to fall to the Eagles were to come through, it would prevent Kansas City from sealing a historic three-peat.
The Chiefs’ overtime triumph over the San Francisco 49ers in las Vegas last month saw them crowned back-to-back champions, becoming the first to do so since Tom Brady’s New England Patriots in 2003 and 2004.
Travis and co. launched a second-half comeback in 2023 to beat Jason and the Eagles 38-35 to mark what could be the first victory of a three-peat, if they can replicate their success again last year.
During the rally and Union Station in Kansas City at the end of the Chiefs’ Super Bowl parade, quarterback Patrick Mahomes called for a ‘three-peat’.

‘They all doubted us,’ Mahomes said. ‘I don’t want to hear any different. But you know who came through at the end? That’s the Kansas City Chiefs!’
Jason’s loyalty to the Eagles would match his wife Kylie’s with the Philadelphia native adamantly sticking by the team last season even after they were eliminated.
The mother-of-three joined her husband in cheering on her brother-in-law, alongside Travis’s girlfriend Taylor Swift, throughout the playoffs after the Eagles were knocked out by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the Wild Card round.
However, she refused to wear Chiefs merchandise, settling for red University of Cincinnati – the brothers’ Alma Mater – to show her support instead.
