“I pledge to stand by Travis Kelce from start to finish; nothing, not even the critics or haters, can come between us.”‘Taylor Swift declares, ‘I will attend the game, even if it’s raining. I will watch the match because I promise to stand by my man.

While the wetsuits are designed for water use, Wright reveals that some players on the Chiefs utilize them in cold conditions. Offered in long-sleeve and short-sleeve versions with varying thickness, Wright extends the option to every player, estimating that about half of them choose to wear these wetsuits. He anticipates a high adoption rate for the upcoming Chiefs vs. Dolphins game, considering it to be the ultimate test of their effectiveness in cold weather, predicting that ‘the majority of them will.

“I pledge to stand by Travis Kelce from start to finish; nothing, not even the critics or haters, can come between us.”‘”

Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift have been pretty public about the fact that they’re dating, but there are some things the NFL star wants to keep just for himself. On Friday, Kelce was interviewed during a press conference ahead of the Kansas City Chiefs’ overseas game in Germany when he was asked about their “status.”

“The latest status is I got to see her last week,” he said. “That’s the latest status right there.”

An even bolder reporter wanted to know if he’s “in love” with the Eras Tour singer, to which Kelce replied, “I’m going to keep my personal relationship personal.”

The Chiefs are scheduled to play the Miami Dolphins on Sunday, November 5, and he was also asked if Swift would be in attendance. He played coy again.

“When I mention—or everyone knows—she’s at the game, the Vegas [line] and over-under on my catches goes up and down,” Kelce joked. “The spread goes up and down. So I don’t want to mess with any of that stuff…I’m just going to keep that to myself.”

On October 22, Swift watched Kelce’s team win against the Los Angeles Chargers, and CBS broadcasters showed a graphic comparing game play when she was in the bleachers versus when he’s “left to his own devices.” They stated that Kelce has gained 99 yards per game over 46.5 whenever she’s not there to cheer him on.

Even his brother, Jason Kelce, has mentioned it during their New Heights podcast together, saying, “Taylor was in attendance and it’s turning out it was good she was in attendance because they put your stats up—when she’s at the game, when she is not at the game. I don’t know if you’re aware of this.”

Kelce responded, “How could I not be aware of this? ‘Left to his own devices.’ Well put.”

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce isn’t thinking about all of his past successes in the playoffs as he prepares for the AFC Championship.

 

Instead, he’s locked in on winning Sunday’s matchup against the Baltimore Ravens — a game he said he wants to win more than any other game he’s played in.

“I ain’t thinking about a single one I did, I already accomplished,” Kelce said. “I’m thinking about this one on Sunday and I want it more than I’ve ever wanted one in my life.”

Kelce and the Chiefs got past the Buffalo Bills on the road last Sunday, and they’ll have to win on the road again to reach a second-straight Super Bowl.

Kelce, who is accustomed to the playoff atmosphere at this point, believes no matter where the Chiefs are playing, there is always a different feeling come playoff time. Kelce said Kansas City needs to rally around that feeling this week.

“There’s nothing like playoff football,” Kelce said. “You could feel that energy the week before against Miami at Arrowhead. It doesn’t matter who you are, where you play, if you rally together with the men and women that you’ve got and the team that you’ve got, like I said you can play anywhere you want to. You got to bring that juice no matter who’s in the crowd.”

Kelce came up big for the Chiefs on the road last week. The veteran had five receptions for 75 yards and two touchdowns, proving once again how valuable he can be after a relatively less-successful regular season.

While Kelce has already brought home the Lombardi Trophy twice, it doesn’t negate the importance of doing it again this year. For Kelce, it’s about doing it for a team that has dealt with adversity all year.

“The different challenges we’ve had this year, the type of team that we have, the camaraderie we have in that locker room,” Kelce said. “I want it for the guys next to me. It’s a good feeling, but we’ve got to get the job done.”

Jason Kelce is explaining why he made the right moves when wife Kylie was in labor with their third child.

 

In a clip from his appearance on the hit cooking show Last Meals shared exclusively with PEOPLE, the Philadelphia Eagles center, 35, told host Mythical Chef Josh Scherer why eating was such a priority while his wife of five years was in labor with their third baby, daughter Bennett Llewellyn.

Scherer wanted to give the athlete the “platform here to clear the air,” about the situation after Kylie’s viral TikTok about Kelce’s behavior during labor. “You weren’t just sleeping when your latest child was being born, right? You were doing more.”

“I was doing a lot of sleeping. There’s not much you can do,” Kelce said with a laugh.

“You try and get water when your wife is running out of things. ‘Is there anything I can do? Can I go grab things?’ Outside of that, it’s a lot of sitting around waiting for the fireworks to get going.”

“I think the mistake that a lot of dads make, when your wife goes into labor — a lot of times you’re sitting around all day. You haven’t eaten anything all day. And this is why I think a lot of guys pass out. Seriously, their blood sugar levels are low, man.”

“That’s why I’m eating bagels. That’s why I’m trying to get all of this food down. I want to be there.”

“That was the third rodeo. The first rodeo, I didn’t bring a fan, didn’t bring anything. They don’t care about the dads at the maternity ward at the hospitals — as they shouldn’t,” he quickly clarified. “I’m not campaigning.”

In addition to Bennett, the couple is also parents to daughters Elliotte, 2, and Wyatt, 3.

Kelce also spoke about the criticism he received on a recent episode of New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce (presented by Wave Sports + Entertainment), leading a number of fans to come to the father of three’s defense.

Sharing some of the fan comments on her Instagram Story, Kylie, 31, addressed what had turned into criticism of her as a wife and mom.

Zeroing in on the commenter who asked what she wanted him to do, Kylie said, “Let me clear the air by answering this … Exactly what he did!”

“What is he supposed to do?? Just stare at me the whole time?” she asked before urging fans, “Let’s just have a sense of humor.”

This holiday season, Donna Kelce is reminiscing on the days before her sons, Jason and Travis Kelce, grew up to become NFL stars.

 

In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE, Donna shares that she’s planning to spend Christmas Day in Philadelphia to support Jason, 36, as the Eagles host the New York Giants.

Meanwhile, Travis, 34, and the Chiefs will take on the Las Vegas Raiders in Kansas City.

 

But Donna is used to spending her Christmas away from home. Before her sons made it to the NFL, Donna was still frequently away from home this time of year supporting her sons as they pursued their athletic dreams.

“Most times, the holidays were spent supporting the kids in various sporting events and enjoying the Christmas break with other families,” Donna tells PEOPLE.

“But I remember the joy in their eyes as they woke up early on Christmas Day to come downstairs to screams, laughter and a flurry of ripped wrapping paper,” she recalls.

Donna’s Christmas Day plans with Jason will include some quality time with her daughter-in-law, Kylie Kelce, and grandchildren, Elliotte, 2, Wyatt, 3, and Bennett, who was born in March.

“I will be in Philadelphia for Christmas, spending time with my grandkids as we cheer on their dad,” Donna says.

Her plan for Christmas Day also includes a fun opportunity for fans to try Donna’s cookies that she famously brought to Jason and Travis ahead of the Super Bowl.

This year, Chiefs and Eagles fans will have a chance to buy her chocolate chip cookies on Christmas Day at Arrowhead Stadium and Lincoln Financial Field through her partnership with Aramark Sports + Entertainment.

“All proceeds from cookie sales will benefit organizations selected by the teams – the Eagles Autism Foundation in Philadelphia and Operation Breakthrough in Kansas City,” Donna says. “These two organizations mean a lot to my sons, and it’s a nice feeling to be able to support them in my own special way.”

The cookies will be available at Arrowhead Stadium, Kingdom Lodge in Section 136 starting at 1 p.m. ET and Lincoln Financial Field, HeadHouse Plaza, Club Markets, and Suite Level at 4:30 p.m. ET.

And Donna says she may even surprise some lucky fans who come to get cookies. “I may be popping by some of the cookie stands at Lincoln Financial Field, so I encourage people to stop by and say hello!”
Since she’ll be with Jason’s family on Christmas Day, Donna says she’ll travel to Kansas City to watch Travis’s game “with family, friends and Chiefs fans” this year.

Hectic travel itineraries aside, Donna is happy to make the trips to support her sons.
“I understand that it’s part of the job,” she says of holiday games. “I embrace the holiday games and enjoy the special days with our football family.”

Christmas Day will be football-filled for Donna, but she says her family “will enjoy Christmas as a family on another day.”

“Santa somehow has always been able to find families who work on Christmas Day on an alternate date,” she adds.

The Chiefs and Raiders will kick off their Christmas Day game first at 1 p.m. ET, while the Eagles and Giants play at 4:30 p.m.

Taylor Swift’s ex Joe Alwyn send a disrespectful and heartbreaking message to Travis Kelce

As Taylor Swift’s past and present romances take center stage, the differences between her ex-boyfriend Joe Alwyn and current flame Travis Kelce become evident.

 

Swift and Alwyn, who dated for nearly six years, called it quits last year while she was heading towards her Eras Tour. Recently, Alwyn was spotted at the Loewe Men’s Fall/Winter 2024 show in Paris, seated near Zayn Malik and “reluctantly” posing with Nicholas Hoult.

Body language expert Judi James observed the stark contrasts between Alwyn and Kelce. She noted, “Taylor Swift does not have a ‘type’ when it comes to her men.”

Alwyn, in contrast to Kelce’s strong, sports-star presence, appeared politely reluctant in front of cameras, displaying a “guarded approach.”

 

Their fashion sense is also contrasting
James highlighted their distinct fashion choices, stating, “His wardrobe and Kelce’s would look as far away from each other on the fashion spectrum as possible.”

Despite Alwyn’s reluctance to court publicity, James praised his cool demeanor and understated style, effortlessly fitting into the world of high fashion.

As Swift’s romantic journey unfolds in the public eye, the varied personas of the actor and the Kansas City Chiefs star add intriguing layers to the narrative.

What the Swifties think?
A fan on X, formerly Twitter, commented on two videos comparing the two men, saying, “Taylor isn’t with Joe anymore because it’s clear he doesn’t enjoy public life. But, Trav jumped right into the fishbowl with Tay.”

“Travis is a confident sure if himself man, who isn’t intimidated by Taylor’s success,” said someone else, and then said, “The other guy seems so annoying. He looks uncomfortable even with himself. And certainly not at all confident.”

Although there were also those who defended the actor: “There’s literally zero reason to bring Joe into it. Taylor has moved on, everyone else needs to too.” Someone else agreed, “He (Joe) might be going through something personal. Time to leave him alone.”

While Taylor and Travis’ romance goes from strength to strength, Joe Alwyn seems focused on his own projects and his career. Comparisons will continue to be inevitable, but both men are also successful in their particular ways.

 

Jason Kelce’s daughter is already laying down the law.
On Thursday, the Philadelphia Eagles player, 35, posted a hilarious video to his Instagram of his daughter Wyatt, 3, yelling at his brother Travis Kelce, 33, for wearing the same wig that Jason wore during a recent episode of the brothers’ podcast, New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce.

 

In the video, Wyatt tells Travis to “take it off!” several times, prompting Travis to ask, “Why do I have to take it off?”

“Because I don’t like it,” Wyatt asserts, leaning into Travis’ face. “You don’t like it? I thought you said you wanted Dad to have pink hair!” Travis says.

 

“Yeah, but I don’t want you to have pink hair!” Wyatt insists. When Travis asks why he can’t have pink hair, Wyatt hilariously responds, “Because you’re naughty and you’re sneaky!”

Jason captioned the post, “That’s my girl!! Wyatt already knows Uncle Travy too well!!”
The Eagles player shares daughters Bennett, 3 months, Elliotte, 2, and Wyatt with wife Kylie, 31.

In May, Jason posted a sweet photo of his baby daughter Bennett inside the Stanley Cup on his Instagram. In the picture, Kylie held Bennett as she nestled into the cup while wearing an adorable dinosaur onesie and had a purple pacifier in her mouth.

“The Crème de la Crème of all trophies came on to New Heights. It was an honor to meet Mike “the keeper of the cup” and be able to see Lord Stanley in person,” Jason captioned the post. “Girls coming out of nap time were not in the mood, but these pictures and memories I’ll cherish forever! Thank you for this opportunity to see a legend in person.”

This wasn’t the first trophy that Jason and his daughters have had the opportunity to check out. Earlier that same month, Jason shared a photo of daughters Elliotte and Wyatt holding the Larry O’Brien Championship Trophy. Both girls smiled while Wyatt extended an arm around her younger sister.

“Pretty Surreal moment at the Kelce household this weekend. Never in a million years did I think I’d hold the Larry O’Brien trophy, let alone that it would be in my house!!” Jason captioned the Instagram. “The size is incredible, looks so small when NBA players are holding it, but it’s actually massive!!”

“It’s incredible seeing it and feeling the weight and heft. The girls were very interested in it haha,” he added.

Ahead of giving birth to baby Bennett, Kylie spoke to PEOPLE 38 weeks into her pregnancy and opened up about what she loves about Jason as a girl dad.
“I don’t think in his life, Jason ever assumed that he would be the father of three daughters,” Kylie told 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 the universe is like, ‘Yeah, okay,’” she chuckled.

“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 absolutely head over heels in love with his daughters, and they feed that back to him tenfold,” she added.

Travis Kelce has some words for his haters. The Kansas City Chiefs are again in the AFC Conference Championship and will play against the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday for the title. And like others on the team, the Chiefs’ tight end is only focusing on his upcoming games.

Kelce’s brand recognition has undoubtedly improved immensely due to Taylor Swift and the Swifties. From gaining millions of followers to exponential market growth of his jersey, Kelce’s popularity has increased, especially after Swift’s relationship admission. However, with immense popularity comes increased hate and criticism. Therefore, this time, Kelce has come forward to address his off-field scrutiny and his and Swift’s way of handling the “outside noise.”

Travis Kelce has brought up everything by himself?
In Friday’s KC pregame press conference, the tight end appeared before the media to discuss his upcoming game and the off-field boost he received in the 2023 season. During the press conference, a reporter asked him, as a player accustomed to handling attention throughout his career, whether Travis Kelce has noticed any increase or intensification of attention off the field while reflecting on the past year. To this, Kelce acknowledged that he does not heed the increased attention. He believes that the Super Bowl and how he lives his off-field life helped boost the attention he received last year.

The tight end further gave a five-word message hinting at the people who think Kelce’s popularity has increased because of Taylor Swift. Kelce said, “I brought this upon myself, and I do enjoy having fun with it all, and the biggest thing is making sure my focus is right here in this building.” He talked about the challenges of being under scrutiny and criticism every time for off-field activities and how he handles it. Kelce mentioned that the media may suggest that he or the team lacks focus, especially during a rough patch. However, he emphasized the importance of understanding the team’s actual situation by being inside the building.

Calling it all the “outside noise,” Kelce stressed the need to “compartmentalize” and filter the external noise to ensure everyone within the team has the correct perception and stays focused on their tasks when they enter the building. Additionally, he addressed how he and Swift have decided to handle the “outside noise” regarding their dating. Kelce admitted, “The only thing we’ve talked about is that as long as we’re happy we can’t listen to anything that’s outside noise.“

This is almost precisely Swift’s statement last year when she was asked a similar question during her TIME magazine interview.

In December 2023, Taylor Swift became TIME’s 2023 Person of the Year. During her shoot and interview, the pop icon opened up publicly on her relationship with Travis Kelce for the first time. She mentioned that when Kelce talked about her in his podcast, explaining how he failed to meet Swift and gift the customized bracelet to her during her The Eras Tour at Arrowhead, the two started dating each other soon after that.

She said, “So we actually had a significant amount of time that no one knew, which I’m grateful for, because we got to get to know each other. By the time I went to that first game, we were a couple.” Addressing their way of handling the people’s opinions and trash talks, the 12-time Grammy winner said, “When you say a relationship is public, that means I’m going to see him do what he loves, we’re showing up for each other, other people are there, and we don’t care.”

This shows the two lovebirds enjoying their company and being proud of each other. As they state, they “don’t care” about the “outside noise.”

Fans had long waited to see Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce‘s sister-in-law, Kylie Kelce, in the same room, and the moment finally arrived in January 2024.

Swift was first linked to Travis in September 2023 when she was spotted cheering him on at a Kansas City Chiefs game in a suite with his mother, Donna Kelce. While some fans were surprised to see Swift making such a quick connection with Travis’ family, the pop star later clarified in a December 2023 TIME interview that she and Travis were already “a couple” by the time she attended her first Chiefs game.

Throughout the NFL season, Swift was spotted with Donna and Travis’ father, Ed Kelce, multiple times, but Swifties were most eager to see her spending time with his brother, Jason Kelce, and Kylie. An opportunity arose when the Chiefs played Jason’s team, the Philadelphia Eagles, in November 2023, but Swift was unable to attend the game due to a rescheduled concert in South America.

The couple finally did cross paths with Swift two months later when they supported Travis and the Chiefs in a playoff game against the Buffalo Bills — and Jason made a memorable first impression by taking off his shirt in the suite and jumping out into the stands. Before she had to wrangle her husband back inside, Kylie was seen chatting with Swift.

NFL players Travis Kelce and Jason Kelce made history in 2023 when they became the first brothers to face off against each other at the Super Bowl. When Jason, who is a center for the Philadelphia Eagles, and Travis, who is a tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, cross paths on the football field, […]

Seeing Swift “seamlessly” fit in with his family “means everything” to Travis, a source exclusively told Us in January 2024. “It’s almost like she’s known his family forever, and he loves that about her,” the insider added.

Scroll down for everything we know so far about Swift’s connection with Kylie:

Social Media ‘Likes’

Kylie has subtly shown her support for Swift more than once via social media, including double-tapping an Instagram photo of the singer and Miles Teller‘s wife, Keleigh Teller, at the Golden Globe Awards in January 2024. One month prior, Kylie dropped a “like” on a post from the Today show about Swift’s longtime rep, Tree Paine, calling out DeuxMoi for sharing unconfirmed reports about Swift and her ex Joe Alwyn.

Eagle-eyed fans noticed Swift make the same gesture in January 2024 when she “liked” a video on the “New Heights” Instagram feed that mentioned Kylie.

Chiefs Game Meetup

The highly anticipated crossover finally took place in January 2024 when Kylie and her husband joined Swift in a stadium suite for the Chiefs vs. Bills playoff game. Kylie was photographed chatting with the pop star before Jason’s shirtless shenanigans stole the spotlight.

“The moment we got into the suite, I said, ‘I’m taking my shirt off and I’m jumping out of the suite.’ And she said, ‘Jason, don’t you dare.’ I’m not asking for permission, I’m doing this,” Jason recalled on an episode of “New Heights” after his outrageous behavior went viral. “[Kylie] was already telling me to be on my best behavior because we were meeting Taylor.”

Travis reassured his brother that Swift “absolutely loved” spending time with them in the suite. Shortly after the game, Travis’ friend Aric Jones shared a pic of himself and Swift posing with Kylie while celebrating the Chiefs’ win.

A Couple of Cat Lovers
While some dedicated “New Heights” listeners thought Swift might make a surprise appearance on the December 2023 holiday episode — which featured “a revolving door” of special guests — they were instead gifted with an extended Kylie interview. (Donna and Ed also dropped by for the podcast episode.)

Jason Kelce‘s marriage to Kylie Kelce gave Travis Kelce “the best sister a guy could ask for.” Jason and Kylie tied the knot in 2018 and went on to welcome three daughters: Wyatt, Elliotte and Bennett. The little ones quickly grew fond of their “Uncle Trav,” who gushed over his “beautiful” nieces during Kylie’s special […]

During her segment, Kylie revealed one big similarity between her and Swift. “Here’s the deal, I told Jason that I wanted to get a cat and he told me no,” she said at the time, teasing that Travis could help sway the vote due to his romance with Swift, a famous cat lover. “I feel like you might like cats now. I don’t want you to send a cat, I just want you to get on my team here.”

Travis was easily convinced, asking his sister-in-law, “What color cat do you want?”

Swiftie Soundtrack
Kylie identified her eldest daughter, Wyatt, as a Swift fan in an adorable TikTok video in October 2023. “Just another swiftie tryna learn football, or a kid tryna avoid a nap. Who knows,” Kylie teased in the caption, recording herself and Wyatt watching an Eagles game. (Wyatt’s excitement about her dad’s teammate A.J. Brown‘s pink cleats quickly went viral.)

Two months later, Kylie referenced Swift once again while showing how much Wyatt has grown. “If you’re gonna try to make a headline out of this, you better offer a suggestion of a better audio… because there isnt one,” she wrote in December 2023, including Swift’s song “Never Grow Up” in the background of her video.

Kelce stated that he and Swift will be drowning out the outside noise for now

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce held a press conference on Friday ahead of the team’s sixth consecutive AFC Conference Championship appearance and addressed media rumors that Taylor Swift has distracted him throughout the 2023 NFL season.

Kelce, 34, stated that he and Swift, also 34, will be drowning out the outside noise because they’re happy, and that’s all that matters. The two-time Super Bowl champion then went on to address the media.

Kylie Kelce reveals how she feels about her husband Jason’s recent wild celebrationTwitter

“You hear the media throughout the year if we’re not having success,” Kelce said. “Maybe throw it out there that I wasn’t focused or that the team isn’t focused on certain things, and if you’re in this building, you know exactly what’s going on.

“So, you gotta compartmentalize what you’re hearing and make sure that you’re staying on task, and giving everybody in the building and on that team the right perception.”

Travis Kelce is more famous than ever

Kelce also addressed how dating Swift just added to his newfound fame from last year when he faced brother Jason‘s Philadelphia Eagles in the Super Bowl during the debut season of their successful “New Heights” podcast.

“I brought this upon myself, and I do enjoy having fun with it all, and the biggest thing is making sure my focus is right here in this building,” Kelce said.

Kelce and the Chiefs visit the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday at M&T Bank Stadium and are once again underdogs.
