Kelce addressed his future during the Pro Bowl and Super Bowl media sessions, stating that he’d announce it in the coming weeks, and that time came on Monday, March 4, 2024.

Travis Kelce’s family came prepared for the Big Game.

It’s no surprise, but the Kelce family was more than prepared for Super Bowl 58 in Las Vegas. Travis Kelce is looking for a repeat as Super Bowl champ as the Kansas City Chiefs are squaring off against the San Francisco 49ers, and his family busted out some top-notch outfits for the event.

Big brother and New Heights co-host Jason Kelce repped Travis with a “Big Yeti” tee under a red-and-gold checkerboard pair of overalls. The Eagles center had no problem wearing the logo of Kansas City, even though his wife, Kylie, swears against it.

Donna Kelce, the family matriarch, is wearing a stunning custom letter jacket with Travis’s number (87) on the sleeve and “Super Bowl LVIII” and “Mama Kelce” on the back.

Donna Kelce shared her thoughts on Jason Kelce’s legendary shirtless celebration at Chiefs-Bills game

She’s seen it all with Jason.

By now, we’ve all seen Jason Kelce’s shirtless celebration from Sunday’s luxury suite at Highmark Stadium. We’ve heard as he talked through what led up to the viral moment on the New Heights podcast.

While Jason admitted to giving his wife, Kylie, a heads up about what was going to take place in the booth, his mother, Donna, didn’t even need an early warning. She knows her son.

In an interview with People, Donna said that she wasn’t surprised at all to see the 36-year-old Eagles center go shirtless, jump out of a luxury suite and chug beers with fans. It’s who he is, after all.

Via People:

That’s because the Philadelphia Eagles center has “done it on occasion,” the football mom explains, citing the parade as another example of when Jason went topless. “He just saves it for special moments,” she says with a laugh.

She added:

“A lot of people don’t see it because he’s all business nine times out of 10 when he is on the field,” Donna shares. “He’s so focused with the game and he’s so into it that people don’t see that side of him.”

It was a long season (and possibly his final NFL season). You could tell he was ready to enjoy himself, and Donna certainly approved.

Taylor Swift, Donna Kelce and Brittany Mahomes did a Swag Surf dance together during the Chiefs’ playoff win

There were plenty of good vibes to spare despite the cold weather at Arrowhead Stadium.

While it was historically chilly at Arrowhead Stadium on Saturday night, it surely wasn’t too cold to Swag Surf.

Taylor Swift joined with all of the Kansas City Chiefs fans for a celebratory Swag Surf dance as Kansas City topped the Miami Dolphins, 26-7, in the first round of the AFC playoffs.

The Fast Life Yungstaz song “Swag Surfin'” has taken on particular significance for the Chiefs, and Swift joined with Travis Kelce’s mom Donna Kelce and Patrick Mahomes’ wife Brittany Mahomes to do the Swag Surf dance with the rest of Chiefs Kingdom as they counted down the minutes until the inevitable win.

While the Chiefs aren’t the Super Bowl favorites right now, they have to be excited with how this first playoff game went.

Hey, that looks like a fun time to us in the freezing weather!

Swift seemed to be having quite a time as she cheered on Travis Kelce on the field, even if it was dern cold outside.

Donna Kelce offered some wholesome thoughts on Travis’ relationship with Taylor Swift

Donna Kelce approves.

Over the past year, no NFL family has received more attention than the Kelce family — and for good reason. Brothers, Travis and Jason Kelce, squared off in the Super Bowl last season, they have a chart-topping podcast and documentary … and Travis is dating Taylor Swift, just the biggest musical star on the planet.

So, yeah, it’s been a lot for Donna Kelce, but she also seems to love the relationship for her younger son.

Speaking to Good Morning America ahead of Monday night’s matchup between the Chiefs and Eagles, Donna was asked about Travis’ relationship with Swift and the attention it has garnered. She didn’t hesitate to give it the motherly stamp of approval.

She said:

“I think the attention is just part of the whole thing. Obviously, it’s a megastar. I think Travis is embracing it as much as he can … He likes attention, he’ll be fine. As long as he can handle it, I don’t have any problems with it. She’s very, very nice person.”

Donna, of course, sat alongside Swift in the Kelce family suite during the 12-time Grammy winner’s visit to the Chiefs’ game against the Broncos at Arrowhead Stadium. Though Swift won’t be able to make Monday’s game in Kansas City due to Saturday’s concert postponement in Rio de Janeiro, reports suggest that Taylor’s parents could make the trip to meet Donna and Ed Kelce.
