Jason opened up on the negative aspects of being in the spotlight

JASON Kelce has opened up on his brother’s new lifestyle now he is dating Taylor Swift.

Kansas City Chiefs star Travis was already a huge figure thanks to his exploits on the field.

But since hooking up with Swift, he has been catapulted into the global spotlight.

Jason and his wife Kylie get plenty of attention themselves – not all of it positive – but he admits it is not on the same level.

“It’s been crazy [and] then Travis and Taylor have taken it to another level and that’s a whole other side of it,” Jason said on Andrew Santino’s Whiskey Ginger podcast.

“Like, Kylie and I think we have it bad and then we go hang out with one of them for a second.

“This is a whole other situation here [and] I don’t even know how to, like, you can’t be a normal person at that point.”

Jason, 36, has been married to Kylie, 31, since 2018.

The former Philadelphia Eagles center’s notoriety grew as he faced off against Travis, 34 in the 2022 Super Bowl.

And the brothers used the attention to launch successful media ventures including their New Heights Podcast.

“She should be [more famous than me] no doubt,” Jason joked of Kylie, with whom he shares three daughters.

“So, we did the (Kelce) documentary a few years ago.

“I think she’s a little bit uncomfortable with how much it’s become and our family’s out there, like, people know what our kids look like.

“We’ve tried to retract from that a little but, I think she enjoys the fact that she gets to go and do charitable outings [and] she gets to give back to the community [and] do clinics with little girls [for] field hockey and all these other things.”

Kylie and Jason were recently involved in an altercation with a member of the public.

The fan was reportedly “harassing” the pair for a picture as they tried to enjoy a dinner date.

And Jason admits there are some aspects of the celebrity lifestyle that Kylie did not sign up to.

“I’m like, ‘We’re going to be all right [and] we’re getting through it,’” he explained.

“It gets to be too much at times and it’s hard to always be available.

“But I think, more often than not, it’s awesome whenever you’re doing that stuff and the vast majority of people are beyond just respectful and appreciative.”

Jason and Kylie Kelce Think ‘We Have It Bad’ Until Hanging Out With Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift

Jason Kelce and his wife, Kylie Kelce, get a lot of fan attention — but they know it’s nothing compared to his brother Travis Kelce’s girlfriend, Taylor Swift, and her level of fame.

“It’s been crazy [and] then Travis and Taylor have taken it to another level and that’s a whole other side of it,” Jason, 36, said during the Friday, June 6, episode of Andrew Santino’s “Whiskey Ginger” podcast. “Like, Kylie and I think we have it bad and then we go hang out with one of them for a second. This is a whole other situation here [and] I don’t even know how to, like, you can’t be a normal person at that point.”

Jason has been married to Kylie, 31, since 2018 in the middle of his tenure as a football center for the Philadelphia Eagles. The couple’s notoriety grew as Jason and Travis, 34, became the first siblings to face off in the Super Bowl last year. Travis’ Kansas City Chiefs won the big game five months before the tight end started dating Swift, also 34.

Travis initially wasn’t used to the amount of attention that Swift commanded when they started seeing each other but has not run away from it.

“Obviously, I’ve never dated anyone with that kind of aura about them … I’ve never dealt with it,” Travis, a three-time Super Bowl champion, told WSJ. Magazine in a November 2023 profile. “But at the same time, I’m not running away from any of it. … The scrutiny she gets, how much she has a magnifying glass on her, every single day, paparazzi outside her house, outside every restaurant she goes to, after every flight she gets off, and she’s just living, enjoying life. When she acts like that, I better not be the one acting all strange.”

As Travis and Swift’s romance continued to heat up, her fans started watching more of his NFL games. Swifties also began supporting Jason, who retired from the Eagles in March, and his down-to-earth wife, Kylie.

“She should be [more famous than me] no doubt,” Jason joked of Kylie, with whom he shares three daughters, during the Friday podcast episode. “So, we did the [Kelce] documentary a few years ago and… I think she’s a little bit uncomfortable with how much it’s become and our family’s out there, like, people know what our kids look like.”

He continued, “We’ve tried to retract from that a little but, I think she enjoys the fact that she gets to go and do charitable outings [and] she gets to give back to the community [and] do clinics with little girls [for] field hockey and all these other things.”

 

According to Jason, there are a few aspects of fame that Kylie was “more hesitant” to accept that she “didn’t really sign up” for when she married the now-retired center.

“I’m like, ‘We’re going to be all right [and] we’re getting through it,’” Jason explained. “It gets to be too much at times and it’s hard to always be available, … but I think, more often than not, it’s awesome whenever you’re doing that stuff and the vast majority of people are beyond just respectful and appreciative.”

Jason further knows that he — along with his family — is “in a position of great fortune” all thanks to “really, really big fans.”
