Travis Kelce exposes Kylie Kelce's no-filter side with a candid admission about their Chiefs-Eagles rivalry

Travis Kelce has learned that family ties do not always translate into football support. His sister-in-law, Kylie Kelce, remains firmly committed to the Philadelphia Eagles, even when her brother-in-law is on the opposite side. During a recent episode of New Heights, Travis recalled how openly Kylie expresses that loyalty, including a blunt message she would deliver directly to him. The conversation began with a debate about another NFL team's loyalties, but it soon offered a fresh glimpse into the Kelce family's approach to football rivalries.Travis Kelce appreciates Kylie's blunt Eagles loyaltyThe exchange came as Jason Kelce questioned podcast staffer Jake Chatzky, popularly known as Jets Jake, about his loyalties ahead of the Kansas City Chiefs' upcoming matchup against the New York Jets. Chatzky grew up supporting New York, but working on a podcast hosted by Travis put him in an awkward position.When Jason asked which team he would support, Chatzky tried to avoid upsetting either side. “Don't make me do this, Jason,” he said before adding, “I'm absolutely rooting for Travis, for sure, I am 100% rooting for Travis.”Travis was not convinced. He called the staffer a “phony” and challenged his attempt to support both sides. “You hear that, Jets fans?” he said. “He's a f*cking phony. He's a phony.”When Chatzky suggested that backing Travis did not necessarily mean rooting against the Jets, Travis pushed back again. “Don't f*cking lie to my face,” he said.That was when Kylie became his example of someone who never hides her football allegiance. “At least my sister-in-law will tell me to my face, ‘F*ck you, I hope the Birds win,’” Travis said.The remark drew laughter from Jason and the podcast crew. It also showed that Travis has little problem with Kylie's refusal to put family ahead of her support for Philadelphia. He seems to value that honesty more than a polite show of support.Kylie's Eagles support has never depended on TravisKylie's loyalty was also evident at Super Bowl LVIII in February 2024, when the Chiefs faced the San Francisco 49ers. She attended the game to support Travis but refused to wear Kansas City merchandise. Instead, she chose a red University of Cincinnati shirt, a nod to the college attended by both Kelce brothers. She also wore an “Alright Nah” shirt underneath, referencing Travis.Jason had previously explained that even having family on the field could not persuade Kylie to wear Chiefs gear. “I have tried [saying], ‘Kylie, we have family in the game, it's okay to cheer on that team. They're not playing the Eagles. You realize this isn't against the Eagles, right?’ She just refuses,” Jason said on New Heights.Travis, however, took no offence. “I respect it, Ky,” he said. “I appreciate you even wearing red. You could have worn something neutral and just showed your support. You showing up was enough for me, so I appreciate it.”That response says as much about their relationship as Kylie's language does. She can support Travis as family without pretending to support his team. For the Chiefs tight end, her presence matters, even if her cheers belong elsewhere.Get the latest Sports News and Live updates. Download the TOI app.
