    She couldn’t stop hugging her,Mom Donna Kelce final decision about Taylor Swift ” That’s a face only a mother could love

    Donna Kelce is “seemingly” weighing in on Taylor Swift’s condiment choices.

    The NFL mom, whose younger son Travis Kelce is in a rumored relationship with Swift, posted a cute caption hinting at a viral moment at the Kansas City Chiefs game when Swift ate chicken tenders, ketchup and what appeared to be ranch.

    On Sunday, Donna attended both of her sons’ games. Earlier in the day, she cheered on her older son Jason Kelce and the Philadelphia Eagles while they played the Washington Commanders at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia. After, she traveled to East Rutherford, N.J. to cheer for Travis, 33, as the Chiefs took on the New York Jets.

    While at the Eagles game, Donna sat with Jake from State Farm, who stars in a hilarious commercial alongside Travis and Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes. There, she made mention of the “Cruel Summer” singer’s viral moment from last week’s game.

    “No ‘seemingly ranch’ available at the Linc,” Donna wrote on an Instagram post with an arrow pointing to Jake (whose real name is Kevin Miles) and his plate of chicken fingers with ketchup.

    The joke is a reference to last weekend, when Swift and Donna hung out in Travis’ suite at the Kansas City Chiefs and Chicago Bears game. Following the game, a photo went viral on Sept. 24 of Swift in the suite posing with a plate of chicken tenders and two sauces. A popular X account called @tswifterastour, re-shared the photo with the caption, “Taylor Swift was eating a piece of chicken with ketchup and seemingly ranch!”

    The “seemingly ranch” caption delighted fans and food brands alike. The official KFC X account commented, “Our Ranch Queen,” while Hidden Valley Ranch has since changed its X name to “Seemingly Ranch.”
    Heinz even took the viral moment to another level by releasing 100 limited-edition bottles of a new “Ketchup and Seemingly Ranch” sauce just days after the tweet was posted.

    Jason, 35, reposted the same photo of Donna and Jake on X, and poked fun at his brother’s support from Swift. “I also have a superstar in my corner. @JakeStateFarm,” he wrote.

    On Sunday night, Donna was spotted by NBC cameras in a suite at MetLife Stadium with Swift. The two were spotted hugging and giggling as Travis and his team defeated New York 23-20 in a close finish.

    “Donna likes Taylor,” a source told PEOPLE, “and thinks she’s very sweet and down to earth.”

    Several of Swift’s longtime friends joined her on Sunday, including Sophie Turner, Blake Lively, Robyn Lively, Ryan Reynolds, Hugh Jackman, Sabrina Carpenter and Antoni Porowski.

    Brittany Mahomes, whose husband is Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, also took in the big win from inside the suite with Swift.

    Chiefs tight end Blake Bell and wife Lyndsay also sported matching looks in another photo that Brittany shared, indicating that many of the players and their dates wore coordinated outfits.

    An onlooker told PEOPLE that Swift’s holiday song “Christmas Tree Farm” played at the party — which took place in a semiprivate back room of the venue — and confirmed that the singer was in attendance at the celebration with her beau Kelce, 34.

That’s right. She liked an Instagram announcement from the Chiefs about you breaking this record

    SHOCKING NEW: $80M? Thank You For Being a Mother and a Best Friend To Me. I Can’t Repay You Mama’ Taylor Swift Tells Donna Kelce as She Gives Out Her $80M house in NYC to Her …

    Indeed, Swift has risen to become the second richest self-made woman in music — with her net worth at a cool $740 million. She has surpassed Madonna’s net worth of $580 million, but ranks behind Rihanna, whose net worth is $1.4 billion.

    And while she’s not busy on a very sold-out tour, she stays active when it comes to real estate.

    Since 2011, Swift has stockpiled a real estate portfolio worth upward of $80 million.

    Most recently, the singer’s former townhouse in Manhattan’s West Village — where she rented in 2016 while waiting out the renovations of her combination penthouse unit in Tribeca — listed for sale asking $17.99 million. What’s more, it’s the home that inspired her “Cornelia Street” tune.

    Her first NYC real estate purchase was made in 2014, buying two adjacent penthouses in a Tribeca building for $19.95 million.

    In 2018, she bought the second-floor complex to the building for nearly $10 million. The unit, which she bought from financier Jeremy Phillips in an off-market deal, spans 3,540 square feet.

    In 2017, she purchased a 100-year-old, four-story townhouse next door for $18 million. The three-story townhouse on Franklin Street comes with a gym, a spa, antique French wide-plank oak floors and a planted terrace with a Japanese paper glass wall.

    Taylor Swift Celebrates Parents 36th Marriage Anniversary “Life without mom and dad would be life without air. I love you.”

    Taylor Swift’s parents have always helped her chase her “Wildest Dreams.”

    Long before she was a Grammy-winning superstar and the world’s highest-paid female entertainer, the “Folklore” singer’s parents were listening to her sing karaoke and driving her to local gigs near her hometown of Wyomissing, Pennsylvania.

    “She was always singing music when she was 3, 5, 6, 7, years old,” her dad, Scott Swift, told UDaily, the newspaper of his alma mater, the University of Delaware. “It’s Taylor doing what she likes to do.”

    Scott and Andrea Swift have been their daughter’s biggest fans since birth, nurturing her talent and passion from a young age while striving to keep the pressures of fame off of her.

    “There would always be an escape hatch into normal life if she decided this wasn’t something she had to pursue,” Andrea told Entertainment Weekly in 2008. “And of course that’s like saying to her, ‘If you want to stop breathing, that’s cool.’ ”

    Andrea, a former marketing manager at an advertising agency, married Scott, a stockbroker-turned-vice-president for Merrill Lynch, on February 20, 1988, in Harris County, Texas. The couple welcomed Taylor on Dec. 13, 1989. Just over two years later, Taylor became a big sister when her brother Austin was born on March 11, 1992.

    The two siblings grew up on a 15-acre Christmas tree farm in Pennsylvania before eventually moving to the suburbs of Nashville after the “Teardrops On My Guitar” singer landed her first major record deal with Sony at age 14.

    Within a few years of taking that leap of faith, Taylor made her debut onstage at the Grand Ole Opry as a rising country star in September 2006. Andrea began to accompany her on the road as her career took off, while Scott stayed home with Austin.

    By 2010, Taylor’s chart-topping success took her to the Grammys, where she swept up four awards and made history as the youngest artist ever to take home album of the year for 2008’s Fearless. She effusively thanked both her parents for their support in her acceptance speech, dedicating the award to her dad. “This is for all those times that you said I could do whatever I wanted in life,” she said. “And my mom, you’re my best friend.”

    They raised Taylor on a Christmas tree farm

    The “Lover” singer’s deep affinity for Christmas stems from growing up on a Christmas tree farm in Wyomissing, Pennsylvania. Though the family later moved to Nashville, Taylor has always spoken fondly of her memories on the farm, even returning to pay a visit there in 2018.

    She later commemorated her childhood home in her 2021 song “Christmas Tree Farm,” on which she sings about her happy holiday memories from growing up.

    They named her with a business career in mind

    Both of Taylor’s parents have backgrounds in the financial industry, something which influenced the moniker they chose for her.

    “My mom thought it was cool that if you got a business card that said ‘Taylor’ you wouldn’t know if it was a guy or a girl,” she told Rolling Stone in 2009, explaining that they thought an androgynous name could help reduce any potential discrimination in the corporate world. “She wanted me to be a business person in a business world.”

    Pregnant Kylie Kelce Reveals What She Loves About Jason Kelce as a Girl Dad Ahead of Baby No. 3

    Kylie Kelce says that Jason Kelce has risen to the occasion of raising daughters in an incredible way as they prepare to welcome their third baby girl this month

    Jason Kelce is getting ready for his second Super Bowl and his third start as a girl dad.

    By his side is pregnant wife Kylie Kelce, who isn’t just proud of her husband’s accomplishments on the field, but also at home as a dad to daughters Elliotte, who turns 2 next month, Wyatt, 3, and another little girl on the way.

    “I don’t think in his life, Jason ever assumed that he would be the father of three daughters,” Kylie, 29, tells PEOPLE.

    “He would always be like, ‘No, no, we’ll get a boy. We’ll get a boy.’ And I’m like, ‘You got to stop challenging the universe. Stop saying it because you’re the universe is like, ‘Yeah, okay,’ ” she chuckles.

    “I used to tell him before we had our first daughter, she’s gonna have you wrapped around her finger. He said, ‘I’m not gonna spoil her!’ And I’m like, ‘I don’t think you understand.’”

    Kylie had some knowledge of these situations, even before starting a family of her own. Not only is she a mom of girls, but she’s one of two daughters and her dad was the only boy in a family with six girls.

    “I just know that the bond that I have with my own father, and so I would have to try and explain to Jason. Like, ‘I just mean that this little girl is going to be so deeply in love with you, and you’re going to be like her first love, her first idea of what true love can be.’”

    While he was skeptical then, Kylie says he’s changed his tune now. “I’ll send him a video or a picture of our oldest and he’ll just be like, ‘She’s just so cute!’”

    Joking that it’s “quite the compliment” to himself because Wyatt “looks just like” him, Kylie admits that the 3-year-old and her husband share “this unbelievable bond.”

    “It’s been amazing to see him sort of transformed from only having a brother, not having any first cousins, so really having like no experience with little girls. And now, he is just absolutely head over heels in love with his daughters, and they feed that back to him tenfold.”

    As fans wonder whether the “Kelce Bowl” will feature the birth of the third Kelce girl, Frida decided to sponsor Kylie as their MVP, “Most Valuable Pusher.”

    In a full-page ad in the Philadelphia Inquirer Wednesday, Frida announced its sponsorship of Kylie alongside a photo of her during Elliotte’s birth.

    Helping other families through the partnership, Frida will be doing something special for all of the women who are bringing babies into the world on Sunday, providing them with the tools to start their season of motherhood.

    Moms who welcome a baby on Sunday, Feb. 12, 2023, can send proof of birth and a shipping address, and Frida will send Frida Mom and Frida Baby gear to help them tackle parenthood.

    Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce fans go wild after spotting ‘hickey’ on NFL star’s neck… but Pat McAfee defends pair and says they’re ‘just having fun’

    Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce fans believe they spotted a ‘hickey’ on the Chiefs star’s neck during a recent game.

    The couple’s relationship has dominated the headlines in recent months with the popstar becoming a regular at his Chiefs games.

    Kelce returned the favor by travelling to Buenos Aires to see Swift perform one of her hit Eras Tour shows during his bye week.

    And eagle-eyed fans believe they noticed a hickey on Kelce’s neck during the Chiefs’ game against the Patriots earlier this month with a red mark on his neck clearly visible in pictures and footage.

    Swift was in attendance at Gillette Stadium for that game, sitting alongside her father Scott and new friend Brittany Mahomes.

    ‘Taylor left a hickey on Travis???? Queennnnnn’, wrote one fan on X, formerly Twitter.

    Another posted: ‘Wait Taylor give Travis a hickey ?!?’.

    Sports TV host Pat McAfee made light of it on his show on Wednesday morning, saying: ‘It did look like he had a hickey right there on his neck.

    ‘That made me think him and Taylor as just having fun. Sucking necks.’

    McAfee and his colleagues then hilariously misheard one of them say ‘getting his pulse sucked on, if you will’.

    The couple are currently celebrating the holiday season together. Swift was at Arrowhead Stadium on Christmas Day to watch Kelce and the Chiefs lose against the Raiders.

    It’s also believed she’ll be in the stands on New Years’ Eve to watch him in action against the Cincinnati Bengals.

    Kelce – and the Chiefs – struggled again on Christmas Day against the Raiders and exploded into a fit of rage at one point.

    The tight end launched his helmet into the ground before it bounced up and flew into the stands. He also had stern words with coach Andy Reid, who bumped into Kelce to try and calm him down.

    Speaking about the incident on the latest episode of New Heights alongside brother Jason, Kelce conceded that his antics were not helpful to the team.

    ‘He (coach Reid) is looking out for me and I love him for it,’ Kelce said.

    ‘I didn’t go back out there and play good. He wanted to see the fire in me and I reacted in a bad way.

    ‘He wanted the best out of me and right now I’m just not playing my best football.

    ‘I’ve got to f***ing lock the f*** in and be more accountable for him and more accountable for my teammates.

    ‘I’ve got to keep my f***ing cool man because as a leader on this team that’s not how you switch momentum.’

    At halftime, the Chiefs were booed off the field – and it was a far-from-Happy Christmas for the fervent home support at Arrowhead.

    They squandered an opportunity to clinch the AFC West for the eighth consecutive year with one of their worst performances of the Patrick Mahomes era.

    A year after the split and now with his pending relationship with Taylor Swift many Kansas City Chiefs fans might be asking why did Travis Kelce and Kayla Nicole break up? Previously, during an episode of the podcast New Heights in July 2023, the star tight end and single player for the Kansas City Chiefs star revealed that he tried to give Swift a friendship bracelet with the digits of his phone number before her concert for her Eras Tour at the Arrowhead Stadium.

    “I was disappointed that she doesn’t talk before or after her shows because she has to save her voice for the 44 songs that she sings, so I was a little butthurt I didn’t get to hand her one of the bracelets I made for her,” Kelce admitted. Kelce’s brother, Jason Kelce added, “She doesn’t meet anybody — or at least she didn’t want to meet me, so I took it personal, but it was an unbelievable show.”

    The Super Bowl winner has a complicated dating past (including his own personalized dating show). So what exactly happened between Travis Kelce and Kayla Nicole that caused them to break up? Read more to find out.

    Why did Travis Kelce and Kayla Nicole break up? We don’t have a reason but Kelce and Nicole started dating after some Instagram interactions together. “He had been following me and insta-flirting for a few months,” she revealed in an Instagram Story. “All double taps and no dm. Soooo after a little liquid courage and a pep talk from @iqueenb (something along the lines of ‘WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR’) I dm’d him on New Years.”

    “I didn’t just go through every single pic and just start liking it immediately,” Kelce clarified with E! News. “It was over the course of a month’s span, just following her and liking the pictures that she was posting and watching all of her stories when stories had first started coming out.”

    He continued, “I was just stalking her and then finally on New Year’s, she gave in. And, you know, New Year new me. She just shot her shot, jumped in my DMs and the rest is history.”

    The two nearly dated on and off for five years, but Kelce confirmed that he was single in 2023. “I’m in the free market right now. I’m out there just enjoying life, focused on my profession,” he said in an interview with Pivor.

    Barstool Sports alleged that Kelce did not pay for half the bills or their dates when the two were together. The tight end shut down those rumors immediately. “Don’t buy into that s–t,” he said. “I would never say that I was supporting her. She had a very financially stable life and what she was doing in her career.”

    “But you’ve got to be crazy if you’d think I would never helped or gave her a couple thousand to grab some food or she gave me some money to go get some food,” he added. “We were in a relationship for five years. A hundred dollars here, a hundred dollars there wasn’t even thought about.”

    Nicole responded to Barstool Sports’ X (formerly known as Twitter) to debunk this rumor, writing, “Not sure where y’all got this nonsense from, but it’s absurd and very false.” After their breakup, the model posted a now-deleted Tiktok, You’re not stupid Kayla. No, I am actually. Thought I’d get wifed after dating for 5 year. That’s 1,825 days.”

    During an interview with People published on October 25, 2023, she confessed: “Just full transparency, I went through this major breakup, major life change, and I had lost a substantial amount of weight within a very short amount of time. I wasn’t sleeping, I wasn’t eating. I was really abusing melatonin to sleep at night,” she says. “It was like I was working out, I was in really great shape, but I felt like sh— and I was sad, and I was having a hard time getting out of bed. It got to the point where I was like, ‘Okay, what else can I possibly do?’ So, I started to go to therapy … and quickly realized, okay, it’s one thing to be physically fit, but it’s another thing to be mentally fit. You could be in the best shape of your life, but mentally, if you are not a healthy person, it’s not going to feel good.”

    Is Travis Kelce dating Taylor Swift? Yes! They basically hard-launched their relationship with this cute pic. Things were basically confirmed after Taylor was spotted with Travis’ mom in a suite at Arrowhead Stadium and celebrating a touchdown that Travis scored. Right after the game, they drove down in Travis’ convertible to an intimate dinner together.

    Right before the outing, Travis seemingly confirmed that the reports about trying to give his number to Taylor were true. “I said what I said. And I meant what I said when I said it. And you know what, it is what it is,” he said, before playing it coy about their relationship status on NFL+ With Andrew Siciliano. “I’m not gonna talk about my personal life,” he added.

    The Kansas City Chiefs tight end went on to playfully tease listeners. “I know what you writers wanna hear, and you wanna hear more about that and I’m not gonna give you anything,” he joked while pointing a finger at the camera.

    Andrew pressed him for more, however. “Has she reached out?” he asked, to which Travis remained tight lipped. “And that’s gonna wrap it up here,” he said, ending the interview.

    NFL commentators haven’t taken a break from these rumors and took every chance to tease the player. When Travis scored a touchdown against the Jacksonville Jaguars, commentator Ian Eagle quipped, “Kelce finds a blank space for the score,” making reference to Taylor’s song “Blank Space” from her 1989 album, adding later that the champion tight end could “shake it off” after suffering a knee injury in practice a few weeks prior, another reference to a T-Swift song, “Shake It Off”.

    NFL Network’s Rich Eisen chimed in with the banter on Twitter with a rollcall of Swift hits while covering Kelce’s return to the field, including “Delicate,” “Anti-Hero” and “August.” Sharing a clip of the broadcast via Instagram, Eisen wrote in the caption, “Look what you made me do, @killatrav.” Kelce responded: “Well played Rich… Well played 👏🏻😂”

    Even Travis’ own brother Jason Kelce who plays for the Philadelphia Eagles (Taylor’s hometown team) teased his brother. He explained on the “WIP Morning Show,”  “It’s hard to answer because I don’t really know a lot about what’s happening with Travis’ love life,” and added that he was “blindsided” by the speculation.  He called the rumor “out of that world” before saying, “But having said that, man, I think they’re doing great, and I think it’s all 100 percent true and I hope that this thing goes the mile.”

    He then cleared up what he said by saying he was joking and that he stays out of his brother’s business, “No I’m joking. I don’t even know what’s happening.”

    Shaquille O’Neal offers Jason Kelce honest advice as the Eagles center considers retiring from the NFL: ‘I made a lot of dumb mistakes’

    NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal gave some brutally honest advice to Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce as the seven-time Pro Bowler considers ending his career.

    The 36-year-old Kelce is known to be considering retirement and has yet to publicly announce if he will hang up his cleats or return to the field for another season.

    O’Neal spent nearly 20 years in the NBA – most notably with the Los Angeles Lakers – and won four titles before retiring in 2011.

    ‘My advice to you is if you are going to retire, accept it, (and) enjoy your family brother,’ O’Neal said.

    ‘I made a lot of dumb mistakes to where I lost my family and I didn’t have anybody. That’s not the case for you. So enjoy your beautiful wife. Enjoy your beautiful kids, and never dwell on what we had. What we had is what we got.’

    Kelce has been considering walking away from the game but has yet to reveal his decision

    Kelce, who won Super Bowl LII with the Eagles, has three daughters – Wyatt Elizabeth, Elliotte Ray and Bennett Llewellyn – with his wife, Kylie.

    Shaq, meanwhile, has six kids but he and ex-wife Shaunie Henderson divorced in 2011 with the NBA legend later admitting he was ‘a serial cheater’.

    ‘You got the ring. People know who you are. Enjoy. Because again, I was an idiot and I’ve talked about it a long time,’ O’Neal added. ‘I lost my whole family. I’m in a 100,000 square foot house by myself.’

    Kelce recently stated that he would like to stay around football in some capacity evenif he did choose to retire.

    A recent report claimed the 36-year-old had been ‘making the rounds’ with various networks in Las Vegas during Super Bowl week about a potential move to the broadcast booth.

    The article also states that Amazon, NBC and CBS would pursue Kelce, 36, if and when he commits his future to broadcasting.

    Kelce appeared on Amazon’s Thursday Night Football broadcast during the Eagles’ bye week this season.

    His recent discussions with Fox and ESPN were described as a preliminary ‘testing of the water.’

    Kelce also recently said that if he decided to get into coaching he would do so at either high school or NFL level but not college because of the necessary time commitment.

    Jason Kelce shouting down the mic, Travis stumbling over his words… and a hilarious story about castrating a bull!

    When Travis and Jason Kelce started the New Heights podcast in September of 2022, they probably had no idea how big the program would get.

    As the name of the podcast suggests, the Kelce brothers’ weekly talk show reached incredible success and became the world’s biggest sports podcast in less than two years. But like anybody else trying a new venture, the Kelces were not always as comfortable on the mic as today.

    The pilot of New Heights blatantly appeared like the trial and error process that it was. The first episode – which currently has just over 340,000 views on YouTube – was a stutter-filled and eardrum-shattering experience. To open up what would be a glue to their brotherhood and respective fanbases, the Kelces followed a 12-question format to structure their conversation.

    The rest, as they say, was history.

    ‘Welcome to New Heights,’ Travis said to open the first ever show, smiling in his Cincinnati Bearcats baseball jersey as he rubbed his palms together. ‘A Jukes original show presented by Wave Sports and Entertainment.’

    At this point, both Kelces had won a Super Bowl and were no strangers to the bright lights. But the mics and cameras around the NFL shined differently than the ones of their latest venture. While Travis appeared to be holding his laughter in, Jason looked stoic as he nodded through his younger brother’s intro.

    After laying their football accolades on the table, Travis choppily explained the premise of the program.

    ‘New Heights is our new talk show, where we will be giving you next-level access in the NFL,’ Travis stuttered. ‘From Philly all the way to Kansas City.’

    ‘We’ve talked about this for some time,’ Jason said. ‘So to finally be able to get this started, I’m excited.’

    The Eagles star explained how they and the producers agreed to do 12 questions to honor their 12 combined Pro Bowl selections. As Jason tried to get the Q&A started, Travis interrupted to break down the title.

    Travis explained that ‘New Heights’ had two meanings to it.

    ‘Obviously, me and my brother venturing into a new world, into a new playing field, which is on mic and camera. Showing our personality, showing our dynamic and we thought it’d be fun to bring that to you guys,’ Travis said.

    ‘Also, we are very prideful of where we come from. From Cleveland Heights, Ohio,’ Travis continued. ‘We actually got some ties at Jukes and Wave Sports, both throughout the industry and back in Cleveland.’

    ‘Whenever we get to rep the Heights, it’s always something that we try and do,’ Jason added.

    The conversation took several different turns as their answers ventured outside their world of football. While being asked about the highlight of his offseason, Jason shared that besides his daughter Eliotte learning to talk, he also castrated a bull on a trip to Missouri.

    ‘You gotta do branding and you also gotta castrate the ones you don’t keep as bulls,’ Jason said. ‘So I had to castrate my first bull – it was hard.’

    ‘I had my granola crunch hiking boots on while I was knuckles-deep in this bull’s n***ack .’

    The brothers raised decibels, with smiles on their faces, as Travis opted out of Jason explaining the castration methods.

    ‘You asked me what I did this offseason,’ Jason exclaimed, red in the face. ‘This was the highlight of my offseason.’

    The screaming resumed when Jason described the moment he first played against Ray Lewis. He admitted his curiosity about how it would feel to play against people he idolized before entering the league.

    ‘In the middle of the play,’ he screamed as Travis laughed on the other half of the screen. ‘Not only am I doing my assignment, but I’m like, ‘Holy s**t, I’m blocking Ray Lewis.”

    Like much of the episode, the ending saw the brothers talk about the NFL as they discussed their upcoming seasons. Jalen Hurts and Andy Reid were mentioned in the hour-long conversation before they compared Super Bowl rings in the final segment.

    One year later, the podcast grew bigger when Travis began dating pop star Taylor Swift. On an episode over the summer, the three-time Super Bowl winner admitted that he failed to give Swift a friendship bracelet with his phone number.

    Nevertheless, the pair started dating in September 2023 and dominated headlines around the NFL.

    The relationship added another layer to their conversations while they continued to provide their weekly breakdown of all things NFL. The podcast became something that fans waited for every Wednesday, especially in light of Travis’ most recent Super Bowl victory with the Chiefs.

    New Heights now holds the top spot on Spotify and Apple’s sports podcast charts. More importantly, Jason said the weekly talk show has brought him and his brother closer to each other.

    Jason admitted that before starting the program, he and Travis had not connected as much since college.

    ‘It has been fun doing it another year, talking to my brother,’ Kelce said. ‘I haven’t been this connected with Travis, over the last two years, since college.’

    ‘And that has been one of the best things, probably the best thing, of the podcast. It forces us – because we are brothers, before this we would go months on our own without talking. We would text, send a funny video but [to] truly sit down and talk with him, it would be a long time.’
