There’s been a lot of hoopla about Jason and Travis Kelce lately — since Travis’ romantic link to Taylor Swift has made the brothers’ fame explode outside of football circles. 

As Swifties have gotten a crash-course in football, Jason Kelce, 35, and his wife, Kylie McDevitt Kelce, 31, have emerged as celebs to know about.

If you’re just catching up on the Kelce brothers, amid Travis’ rumored romance with the biggest pop star in the world, here’s what you need to know. 

The “Lavender Haze” singer and Travis, both 33, went public on Sept. 24, when Swift watched his team beat the Chicago Bears in Kansas City, Missouri, and went to an afterparty post-game where they were photographed cuddled up.

On Oct. 1, Swift showed up to another Chiefs game — this time at New Jersey’s MetLife Stadium with her A-list friends, including Blake Lively and Hugh Jackman.

Travis’ brother, Jason, 35, is also in the NFL, as a center for the Philadelphia Eagles. Here’s what to know about his relationship timeline with his own blonde partner, Kylie McDevitt Kelce.

Her college years

Kylie grew up in Philadelphia, and stayed local for college, attending Cabrini University in Wayne, Pennsylvania. She has a sports background, too. In Kylie’s final two seasons at Cabrini, which is a Division III institution, her field hockey team won the Colonial States Athletic Conference title for the third and fourth time in the program’s history. 

She was the CSAC’s rookie of the year in 2013 and a two-time first-team selection. 

How they met

The brothers have a podcast, “New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce,” where Travis has spilled about his relationship with Swift, and Jason and his wife has talked about their first date.

She and Jason met on Tinder while she was in college.

She initially thought she was getting catfished, since she Googled him and found out that he played on the Eagles. 

When he invited her to a bar, her friend said, “It’s either gonna be him or it’s gonna be someone pretending to be him. Hilarious either way.”

Disaster first date

During an appearance on the Kelce brothers podcast, she revealed, “Well, his profile at the time was something to the effect of; I want to have deep meaningful conversations and talk about getting married and having kids or something like that,” she said. “You fell asleep 45 minutes after I got there on the bar table because he was too drunk.”

“Not a good first date,” Jason chimed in. “(I) got a little bit too inebriated, but I was sober enough to know it was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen in my life. It was love at first sight.” 

Marriage and kids

The couple got married in April 2018 at the Logan Hotel in Philadelphia. Their 20-pound Irish wolfhound, Winnie, was reportedly among the 170 guests.

They welcomed their first child, daughter Wyatt Elizabeth, on Oct. 2, 2019. They had their second daughter, Elliotte Ray, on March 4, 2021.

Their third daughter, Bennett Llewellyn, caused a stir, since she was born on Feb. 23, 2023. The Super Bowl that year was on Feb. 12 — cutting it very close to their child’s birth.

Both Kelce brothers played that game, before the Kansas City Chiefs beat the Eagles 38-35. 

Kylie still attended that game to support her husband – while she was 38 weeks pregnant – and brought her OB-GYN with her to the Super Bowl. 

“Kylie’s bringing her OB because she’s going to be 38 weeks pregnant at the game,” Jason told Travis during the Feb. 1 episode of their podcast. “That could be a super Kelce Bowl. If she has a baby in the stadium, it’s officially scripted.”

Travis laughed and said, “Dude, dude!…We’re in ‘The Matrix.’ There’s no f–king way.”

That didn’t end up happening, but the baby came less than two weeks later.  

What fans think of her

Kylie has won the respect of fans, who have praised her demeanor on his podcast, and in the 2022 documentary, “Kelce,” which showed Jason contemplating retirement. (He is not currently retired).

“Look, the brothers are fine but Kylie Kelce is the hardest working and most iconic Kelce imho,” one fan commented on TikTok. 

Kylie works with nonprofits, including the Eagles Autism Foundation.

Is she part of Taylor Swift’s squad, now?

Thanks to her new connection with Travis, Swift has seemingly embraced the “WAG” life, and made friends with fellow football “WAG” Brittany Mahomes, 28, who is married to Travis’ teammate, Patrick Mahomes. 

Swift hasn’t been spotted with Kylie just yet though. 

Jason has previously said about his wife, “She is not the type of person that likes the spotlight or seeks that out. But I think it’s awesome the amount of reception she’s gotten, and the amount of other wives, the people, the moms out there that have been able to relate with her.”
