The Kelce dynasty has soared to new heights of fame. In the wake of Jason Kelce's retirement from the Philadelphia Eagles in 2024, the 38-year-old has confessed that the added attention has reshaped the way he and his wife, Kylie, navigate the world with their four daughters: Wyatt, 6, Elliotte, 4, Bennett, 2, and Finnley, 9 months old. "You know, I'm all over television, and my face, in particular, is much more in the spotlight," Jason mused in an interview with the Wall Street Journal published on December 22. "In many ways, stepping out into public is vastly different not just for me but for my wife and our entire family."
Indeed, Jason—who has been married to Kylie since 2018—and his brother, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, have been thrust into the limelight by their New Heights podcast and Travis's relationship with fiancée Taylor Swift. Despite the added scrutiny, Jason maintains that he and Kylie aren't letting the fame get to their heads. "But we really do try to live as much of a normal life as we can," he shared. "Which is increasingly becoming harder. We're finding ways to make it work. We go to Disney World and we still walk around. We might take a few more pictures in certain areas."
One person Jason has been taking a few more pictures with is Taylor, who helped him and Travis smash viewership records on their podcast earlier this year. However, the former center insists their relationship is all family, no business. "We've tried to keep a lot of that out of the relationship," he told the WSJ. "I just enjoy her being my brother's soon-to-be wife, and aunt to my kids, and we try to leave that relationship where it should be—there."
Despite this, Taylor's business acumen is an inspiration to the ESPN analyst. "Watching her operate, observing her savviness in getting her entire music catalogue back, watching how she has toured the globe while also writing an entire new album," he said. "The level at which she takes control over a lot of different aspects but also allows people to be experts in their own right—I think a lot of that stuff is fun to watch."
As for Taylor inspiring his behavior at her and Travis's upcoming nuptials? Jason left it open for debate. "The first time I met Taylor was at a Buffalo Bills game. I jumped out of a suite," he told the WSJ. "She invites us back to things now! We'll see if the shirt stays on or off. I think if my shirt comes off, Kylie will be very upset about that."
