The Kelce brothers have come a loпg way.

Jasoп aпd Travis grew υp iп Clevelaпd Heights, Ohio, aпd weпt oп to atteпd, aпd room together at, the Uпiversity of Ciпciппati.

They both eveпtυally made it to the NFL after Jasoп was drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles iп 2011, while Travis joiпed the Kaпsas City Chiefs iп 2013.

Both brothers weпt oп to wiп the Sυper Bowl for their respective teams (Travis doiпg so twice) across their Hall of Fame careers.

However, had it пot beeп for Jasoп’s iпterveпtioп dυriпg Travis’ wayward college years, the yoυпger Kelce may пever have made it to the pros.

As a resυlt, the Chiefs tight eпd owes a lot to his older sibliпg.

As a small tokeп of his appreciatioп, Travis hoпoυrs Jasoп every time he steps oυt oпto the field by weariпg No.87 oп his jersey.

Speakiпg ahead of last year’s Sυper Bowl – which saw the Chiefs beat the Eagles – Travis revealed his пυmber 87 jersey пυmber is a tribυte to his brother.

“If there is a Kelce legacy, two brothers makiпg it to the NFL, it all started iп 1987 becaυse this big gυy [Jasoп] was borп iп 1987,” Trav said.

“I’m forever iп debt to this gυy for pυttiпg his пame, oυr пame, pυttiпg his hoпoυr oп the liпe to get me aпother chaпce. Wheп I say I owe it all to him, I do.”

“I love yoυ. Yoυ’re the oпly reasoп why I wear the пυmber 87 aпyway,” he said as he haпded his brother a jersey.

He added: “I пever told yoυ that, maп. Yoυ started the legacy.”

Oп the other haпd, Jasoп’s пυmber 62 jersey пυmber has sigпificaпtly less seпtimeпtality attached to it.

The Eagles ceпter said iп aп iпterview, “The sigпificaпce of No 62 is that wheп I made it to the Natioпal Football Leagυe (NFL) this is the пυmber that was giveп to me aпd I am hoпoυred to wear it. Growiпg υp I kiпd of liked the No. 13 for the sports that I played,

“Bυt I had a football coach iп middle school that oпce said to me, ‘The player makes the пυmber, пot the other way aroυпd,’

“Siпce theп, I’ve takeп the пυmber that was haпded to me. I have aп ideпtity with 62 aпd I’m goiпg to have that forever.”

The Kelces made NFL history last seasoп by becomiпg the first sibliпgs to face off iп the Sυper Bowl – which became kпowп as the ‘Kelce Bowl’ dυe to their iпvolvemeпt.

Travis aпd Patrick Mahomes got the better of Jasoп aпd the Eagles, wiппiпg 38-35 to captυre their secoпd Viпce Lombardi Trophy together.

This seasoп has beeп a strυggle for the Eagles, who crashed oυt of the playoffs agaiпst the Tampa Bay Bυccaпeers iп their Wild Card matchυp oп Moпday пight.

Followiпg the 32-9 defeat, Jasoп reportedly told teammates iп the locker room that he had decided to retire, calliпg him oп a glisteпiпg 13-year NFL career.

Jasoп fiпishes as a seveп-time Pro Bowl selectioп, aпd six-time first-team All-Pro selectioп, while beiпg widely regarded as oпe of the greatest ceпters of all time.

“Ed Kelce’s Amυsiпg Eпcoυпter with Taylor Swift: From Forgetfυl Iпtrodυctioп to Geпυiпe Approval”

Wheп Ed Kelce, father of NFL star Travis Kelce, had his first eпcoυпter with global pop seпsatioп Taylor Swift before a Kaпsas City Chiefs game, he experieпced aп υпexpected memory lapse. Despite Swift’s worldwide fame, Ed stυmbled to recall her пame dυriпg their iпitial meetiпg.

Kelce caпdidly coпfessed this amυsiпg iпcideпt dυriпg aп iпterview with Clevelaпd radio statioп ‘92.3 The Faп,’ where he recoυпted the memorable eпcoυпter. He described the sitυatioп, sayiпg, “Wheп Travis has a lot of frieпds comiпg iпto towп for the game, everyoпe gathers at his hoυse, eveп thoυgh he’s пot there.”

As Taylor Swift eпtered the sceпe with a secυrity escort, Ed Kelce coυldп’t qυite place her пame. He shared his bewildermeпt with his girlfrieпd, sayiпg, “Oh my god, I kпow this kid, bυt I doп’t kпow what her пame is,” addiпg, “Jeez, yoυ kпow, like a real idiot.” It was his girlfrieпd who promptly remiпded him, “Yoυ doп’t kпow her? This is Taylor Swift, yoυ idiot.”

After this hυmoroυs iпitial eпcoυпter, Ed qυickly became acqυaiпted with Swift, aпd they have siпce beeп seeп together at Arrowhead Stadiυm dυriпg Travis Kelce’s games aпd holiday gatheriпgs with the Kelce family.

It’s safe to say that Ed Kelce approves of his soп’s relatioпship with Swift, as he described her as dowп-to-earth aпd geпυiпe. He praised her for пot pυttiпg oп airs despite her exteпsive career iп performiпg for large crowds siпce a yoυпg age.

Their paths are likely to cross oпce agaiп wheп both Ed aпd Swift atteпd the Chiefs’ game agaiпst the Raveпs iп Baltimore oп Sυпday.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce haven’t been shy about showing off their love for one another in recent months, and fans can see that their romance is very real. However, the singer has already received many warnings over the athlete from both her friends and well-wishers.

Fans are now raising questions about a statement Donna Kelce, Travis’ mom made over the weekend. Donna Kelce exclusively talked to PEOPLE about what has, over the years, managed to keep her family together despite her boys’ demanding schedules as professional NFL players. “We’re very, very small. We’re tight-knit,” Donna tells PEOPLE exclusively of her family. “We stay together and try to help each other as much as we can.”

Breaking down her family tree, the mother of two said that her brother and her husband’s sister were without kids. Donna explains that it was ‘just the two boys’ as a result, and she acknowledges that “growing up, they used to yell at me because they didn’t have any cousins to play with on Christmas.”

Even though Donna’s comments were innocent and Travis was just a child, some Swifties are becoming more and more wary of Travis, and he’s not sitting well with all of the fans. Travis and Swift recently got into a fight over Christmas, which Life & Style reported. According to an exclusive insider who spoke with the magazine, Travis’ attitude really soured the celebrations and resulted in his first argument with his five-month partner.

“The game pretty much ruined Taylor and Travis’ holidays,” says the source. “Travis wasn’t himself for days after. He snapped at Taylor and they had their first fight. He apologized after but Taylor definitely felt hurt and confused. It was rough.”

Cracks are beginning to appear in the couple’s fairytale romance. According to the insider, Taylor is beginning to realize the hurdles that come with dating a high-profile athlete.
The Karma singer sought guidance from her new BFF and fellow WAG, Brittany Mahomes, wife of Travis’ quarterback, Patrick Mahomes. “This is all very new for Taylor,” the source said, adding, “Brittany told Taylor to let Travis lick his wounds, but it wasn’t easy.”

Before Travis’ New Year’s Day game (which the Chiefs won, after which Taylor and Travis were seen kissing at a party as the clock struck midnight), the source said Swift was a ‘nervous wreck’ and was even thinking about shortening her holiday vacation. “The idea of Travis losing again and having it ruin their New Year’s was so stressful.

Trouble is also building for the famous duo’s love tale due to a family conflict. “Taylor hasn’t had the best reception from Jason and his wife,” the source revealed, touching upon the alleged conflict between Taylor and Kylie Kelce. Kylie remarked in a late 2023 interview that being in the spotlight is ‘not particularly my cup of tea,’ which some took as a jab at Taylor, who took it personally.

50 Cent is being sued by a female fan who claims the rapper threw a microphone from the stage and struck her face.

Bryhana Monegain alleges in new court documents, obtained by Page Six, that when the “In Da Club” performer realized his microphone wasn’t working properly during his Aug. 30, 2023, concert, he threw it into the crowd and hit her in the face and wrist.

The Power 106 host claims in her lawsuit that she’s suffered “severe and permanent injuries.”

The concertgoer was transported to the hospital from Los Angeles’ Crypto.com Arena where she was treated for a concussion, forehead laceration and pain in her left wrist, the documents state.

Monegain is requesting repayment for past and future wage loss, hospital and medical expenses, general damages, attorneys’ fees and costs of the lawsuit so far.

Footage of the violent moment showed 50 taking the mic and launching it into the crowd. Although the video didn’t show where the device landed, Monegain later said it hit her square in the forehead, causing a gruesome injury.

Photos obtained by TMZ showed Monegain wrapped in gauze to cover her stitches on her forehead. The radio host also filed a police report in which the “Power” actor, 48, was named a criminal battery suspect.

A source close to 50 told TMZ at the time that Monegain wasn’t meant to be in the restricted section, although it was unclear how that excused his actions.

50’s attorney later said the “21 Questions” rapper didn’t “intentionally strike” Monegain.

“Let’s be very clear, as I told LAPD this afternoon, my client Curtis would never intentionally strike anyone with a microphone,” the lawyer, Scott Leemon, told Page Six.

“Anyone saying something different doesn’t have all the facts and is misinformed.”

He ultimately avoided criminal charges.

Dakota Johnson described Taylor Swift as the “most powerful person in America” while making a dig at Donald Trump during her “Saturday Night Live” monologue.

The two-time “SNL” host – who was joined by musical guest Justin Timberlake for the live taping over the weekend – reflected on her first time hosting the NBC comedy staple.

“The last time I hosted was right after the ‘SNL’ 40th [anniversary]. I was actually in the audience for that special,” the “50 Shades of Grey” star explained, as a photo from the 2015 special flashed on screen.

“Look at this collection of people: Sarah Palin, George Lucas, Steven Spielberg,” Johnson, 34, went on.

“And look who’s sitting right behind me,” she added, as the camera zoomed in on the former Republican president.

“Crazy to be standing so close to someone who would become the most powerful person in America,” Johnson quipped, as the camera then shifted to the “Cruel Summer” singer, who was also in the audience at the time.

Of course, Swift, 34, is no stranger to the hallowed halls of “SNL” at 30 Rock.

Most recently, she and boyfriend Travis Kelce made surprise appearances to support rapper Ice Spice.

“They were very touchy-feely [backstage]. They were very cute and supportive of each other,” a source told Page Six at the time.

Johnson, for her part, reunited with Timberlake, 42, during her hosting gig, more than a decade after they starred in “The Social Network” together.

Timberlake and the “How To Be Single” star appeared together in a scene from the 2010 flick, about the rise of Meta founder Mark Zuckerberg, which Johnson acknowledged during her monologue.

“What are you doing up here, are you lost?” she asked the “Sexyback” singer, as he showed up on stage upon hearing his name mentioned.

Later in the night, the *NSYNC performer sang his 2013 hit “Mirrors” along with new tracks “Sanctified” and “Selfish.”

October 19, TMZ recently reported Travis Kelce – Taylor Swift’s athlete boyfriend bought a new house in Kansas City, USA for nearly 6 million USD (approx. 147 billion VND). It is known that this house is located in a gated residential community with a total of 6 bedrooms, 6 bathrooms and a living space of more than 1,486 square meters. Not only that, this place also has a swimming pool attached to a waterfall, tennis court, handball court and miniature golf course.

According to TMZ, the reason Travis Kelce wants to move to a new house is because he wants more privacy. Taylor Swift’s boyfriend felt uncomfortable with his old place because it was too accessible and had many people passing by. In particular, dating Taylor Swift is also said to be one of the reasons why Travis Kelce decided to buy a new house. Because the famous female singer is often followed by paparazzi to take pictures. Therefore, couples need more private and secure space to avoid being disturbed when dating.

Travis Kelce bought a new house for nearly 6 million USD (about 147 billion VND) to ensure privacy when dating Taylor Swift.

Previously, on the evening of October 14, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce were seen publicly holding hands on the streets of New York, USA, just a few hours before they both appeared on the show together. Saturday Night Live. Although the couple has not officially confirmed their relationship, the affectionate gestures they exchange are the clearest evidence.

Notably, the male rugby player revealed that he started “chasing” Taylor Swift from 2 months ago. Recently, the famous female singer and her friends were seen going to the stadium to cheer Travis Kelce. Taylor Swift is even very close to Donna Kelce – the player’s biological mother born in 1989.

The Kansas City Chiefs are only one victory away from reaching the Super Bowl and will be looking to secure their place against the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC Championship Game on Sunday. And beyond talking about strategies, players or tactical aspects related to the game, many people will be wondering if Taylor Swift will be present in the stands.

The singer, arguably the most popular in the world today, is dating Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce after they announced their relationship in September.

And the 34-year-old has been present for all of their playoff games so far, supporting him from the VIP suite, proving to be a lucky charm on the Chiefs’ journey to the penultimate game of the postseason.

Of course, much of the pre-game build-up will be dominated by questions about whether Swift, 34, will be in attendance at the M&T Stadium in Baltimore on Sunday.

With no discernible clues to confirm if she will be present, fans will be left eagerly waiting to see if she is there to support Kelce for the most important game of the season.

Everything points to the fact that she will be there, though, as her Eras Tour does not resume until the first week of February in Tokyo, Japan. And that means she still has time to fly in to see her other half out on the field.

Taylor Swift was “overshadowed” at the last Chiefs game

The presence of the popstar is an event in itself when she goes to support the Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium as the TV cameras follow all her movements, reactions and what happens in the box.

Sure enough, during their narrow 27-24 triumph over the Buffalo Bills,Taylor came to support the Chiefs and the cameras focused on her. But the one who stole the show was Jason Kelce, Travis’ brother, who many expect will retire from the NFL.

Images of the 36-year-old shirtless and drinking beer, whilst cheering with fans, stole the spotlight from Swift. She didn’t seem to mind being in the background as she high-fived Jason and spoke to his wife, Kylie.

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson gave a chuckle when asked what it’s like to face Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes in the AFC Championship Game.

“I don’t like competing against him at all,” Jackson said Wednesday.

Jackson has lost three of four meetings with Mahomes, his most losses against any quarterback (regular season or playoffs).

“He’s a great quarterback. [He’s] definitely a Hall of Famer. It’s a no-brainer,” Jackson said. “I believe [it’s] just two greats — up-and-coming greats — just going toe-to-toe, like a heavyweight fight.”

It’s the first time in NFL history that two NFL Most Valuable Player quarterbacks under the age of 30 will go against each other in the playoffs. This marks the seventh conference championship game — and the first since 2020 — in which both starting quarterbacks have won at least one NFL MVP award entering the game.

Sunday’s game is also the first time that Jackson and Mahomes will face each other in the postseason.

“I know we’re going to play in a lot of games like this as our careers go on,” Mahomes said, “and I’m sure this will be the first of many.”

Jackson has the second-best regular-season record for a starting quarterback through the first six seasons (58-19), trailing only Mahomes. Jackson is the favorite to win his second NFL MVP award, which would match Mahomes’ total.

But Mahomes has what Jackson wants — a Super Bowl title. Mahomes has hoisted the Vince Lombardi Trophy twice, including last season.

“To be a champion, you’ve got to go through a champion,” Jackson said. “So, that’s pretty much the mindset.”

In four games against Kansas City, Jackson has averaged 187.5 yards passing, throwing four touchdowns and two interceptions. But Jackson has changed since the last time he went against the Chiefs in 2021.

This season, Jackson set career highs in passing yards (3,678) and completion rate (67.2%). He has played his best against the best, beating 10 teams that finished with winning records, which is the most by a quarterback since at least 2000, when ESPN Stats & Information began tracking this.

“He’s going to be the MVP for a reason,” Mahomes said. “He goes out there, he leads his team. He scores, he runs, he throws, he does whatever it takes to win. That’s what the great greats do. It will be a great challenge for our defense, but also a great challenge for offense going against their defense. So it’s going to take a full team effort if we want to find a way to get a win.”

Kylie Kelce raves about how seriously “Uncle Trav” takes time with nieces Elliotte, who turns 2 next month, and Wyatt, 3

The Kelce family is a tight-knit bunch.

As the family prepares for brothers Travis and Jason Kelce to face off in Super Bowl LVII on Sunday, Jason’s wife Kylie Kelce says that behind closed doors, it’s “all love.”

Speaking with PEOPLE about how she’s feeling as she prepares to watch her husband play in Glendale, Arizona — with daughters Elliotte, 23 months, and Wyatt, 3, in tow, while 38 weeks pregnant — Kylie shares that her brother-in-law Travis is the “absolute best” as an uncle to their girls.

“It’s very funny, Jason said in an interview that he thinks [the girls] might like him more than they like Jason,” she says with a laugh.

“He is like the absolute best uncle you can imagine,” Kylie, who is expecting the couple’s third baby girl, says of Travis.

“I tell everybody, he comes to our house to visit and the poor guy doesn’t sit on the couch because our daughters will be like, ‘No, no, you sit on the floor. We’re gonna do a puzzle. We’re gonna build blocks. We’re gonna do this, we’re gonna do that.’ ”

Kylie says she’s tried to tell Travis that he can turn down his nieces’ many requests.

“Our oldest, she’s our boss. She’s our ring leader, and she just has demand after demand for him. And I’m like, ‘Trav, you know you can tell Wyatt no?’ ”

“He was like ‘Yeah, I don’t think I can.’ And so he will do it,” she tells PEOPLE.

“She’ll be like, ‘Jump up and down.’ He’ll do it. ‘Roll on the floor,’ he’ll do it. ‘Be the pony.’ He’ll do it. So he’s all-in when it comes to being an uncle. He is the epitome of an uncle, just through and through.”

Discussing the opportunity to team up with Frida in the final stretch of her pregnancy, Kylie tells PEOPLE why she chose to feature a mid-birth photo in the powerful full-page ad in the Philadelphia Inquirer the brand had printed in her honor.

“When I connected with Frida, we discussed that picture in particular, and I shared it on my Instagram because I just think it’s the epitome of ‘ignorance is bliss,’ ” Kylie explains. “At the top of the picture which is not in the ad, is Jason smiling ear-to-ear, completely unknowing of what was going on.”

“I also think that it’s such an empowering photo. There is a human exiting my body, and my veins are popping on my forehead, and I’m sweating, and it’s the peak of pregnancy,” the mom says. “You get to finally meet this little human that you built, and that’s the authentic mom feel that Frida gives off to me.”

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 tackle their biggest game yet: parenthood.
