Another Super Bowl and another year of the Kelce brothers, Travis and Jason, making headlines both within and outside NFL circles – and this time it’s been supersized by music megastar Taylor Swift.
The Kelces made history by both playing in last year’s Super Bowl, with Travis’ Kansas City Chiefs beating Jason’s Philadelphia Eagles – after a week their mother Donna dominated in terms of media coverage while talking about her sons.
In the 12 months since then, the brothers have had their own Amazon Prime documentary, they’ve both appeared on Saturday Night Live and their New Heights podcast, already growing in popularity, exploded thanks to a certain blossoming new romance – ending 2023 as the sixth biggest podcast in the United States.
For all the headlines they create off the field, on the field the pair continued to excel. They’re both Super Bowl winners and future Hall of Fame entrants as two of the best players we’ve seen in their respective positions.

Travis is back in a fourth Super Bowl in five years and broke some big play-off records in getting to Super Bowl 58 against the San Francisco 49ers in Las Vegas, while centre Jason fell just a couple of games short of a rematch but produced another dominant season with the Eagles.
Off the field, the pair have transcended the world of NFL and moved into the news and entertainment sphere – and not just because of Travis’ high-profile relationship with Swift.
Jason was all over social media when he went to watch his brother play the Buffalo Bills, drinking with home fans before the game and picking this first meeting with Swift to go shirtless in the stadium and climb out of his box and into the crowd for pictures.
The 36-year-old was also named as one of People magazine’s sexiest men of the year for 2023 – which Travis reacted to in typical brotherly fashion on their podcast.
“You’re one of the ugliest people I’ve ever seen in my life, so this actually threw me off,” the Chiefs tight end joked.
They’re the hottest sporting siblings in the US right now, and the Super Bowl could be yet another boost to their growing profile.

🔥 Meghan Markle STRIKES BACK — Even After Her Own Father Calls Her “FAKE” on Camera!
“When Travis Kelce arrived quietly at the private memorial service in Dallas, no one expected the Chiefs’ tight end to turn the somber gathering into a moment that would be remembered forever. ▶️ WATCH THE VIDEO: As Marshawn Kneeland’s father sat in the front row holding a framed photo of his son, his hands trembling, Travis approached — not as a football superstar, but as a teammate, a brother, and a man who understood the weight of loss. Placing one arm gently around Kneeland’s father’s shoulders, Travis spoke softly, his voice steady yet full of emotion: “Marshawn Kneeland wasn’t just a player on our team — he was the soul of it. His energy, his laughter, his fight… they’ll stay with us every time we step on that field.” For a moment, the chapel fell completely silent. Then Travis lowered his head, offering a quiet prayer. His words, unspoken yet deeply felt, carried through the room — a promise that Marshawn’s spirit would live on through the game he loved and the men who played beside him. By the time Travis stepped back, tears filled the eyes of teammates, family, and friends alike. In that small chapel, it wasn’t about football anymore. It was about brotherhood, grief, and the kind of love that refuses to fade — even after the final whistle.”
