Jason Kelce Offers Insight into Travis’ Mindset at Start of Swift Romance

When Travis Kelce began dating Taylor Swift, he was understandably cautious about sharing details of their relationship, even with his brother, Jason Kelce. Jason shared this insight during an episode of The Pivot Podcast, explaining why Travis was reserved about revealing information. “I think he was very cautious about even telling me or anybody,” Jason said. “The reality is, [Swift] is under such a microscope.”

Jason emphasized the importance of respecting the couple’s privacy. “I think they wanted to make sure everything was done in a way that was respectful to people’s privacy,” he added. The retired center for the Philadelphia Eagles expressed his desire to keep their relationship private and reiterated, “It’s really not my place to speak on their relationship. But he is my brother, and I’m very happy for him.”

As a devoted father of three daughters, aged four, three, and one, with his wife Kylie, Jason acknowledged that while Travis played coy about his relationship with the world-renowned pop star, there were hints leading up to it. He referenced a previous podcast discussion concerning Travis’s attempt to give Swift a friendship bracelet, indicating that he was aware there was something brewing between them.

Travis had attempted to deliver a bracelet containing his phone number to Swift during her Eras Tour in Kansas City, Missouri, back in July 2023. This gesture did not go as planned; Travis later recounted on their own New Heights podcast, which recently moved to Wondery in a lucrative deal, that Swift didn’t want to meet him at that time, leaving him feeling “butthurt.” Yet, this effort seemingly caught Swift’s attention, leading to the couple starting to date secretly over the summer before making their relationship public in September 2023.

Jason has shown unwavering support for his brother’s relationship with Swift. He has shared that his daughters are avid fans of the singer’s music, and their enthusiasm has rubbed off on him. “I’ve been listening a lot to ‘I Can Do It With a Broken Heart,’ and Ellie right now, there’s a line in that… ‘I’m a real tough kid/I can handle my s**t,’ and… she says, ‘I’m a real tough kid/I can handle my stuff,’” Jason quipped, laughing at how often he hears the lyrics at home.

This dynamic between the Kelce brothers highlights not only the excitement surrounding Travis’s high-profile romance but also the joy and relatability of family life that complements their public personas. As both of them continue to thrive in their respective careers and personal lives, fans are watching closely, hoping to catch a glimpse into their journeys. Given their close bond, it’s clear that Jason will always be there to support Travis, no matter the attention that comes with dating one of the biggest pop stars in the world.
