Jason Kelce, the retired Philadelphia Eagles player, is confident that his brother, Travis Kelce, will win the favorite male sports star category at the Kids’ Choice Awards. Speaking on their podcast “New Heights,” Jason jokingly stated that Travis would win by a landslide due to his popularity with kids. He attributed this popularity to Travis’ relationship with pop superstar Taylor Swift. Jason even mentioned that his own fan demographic has changed since Travis started dating Taylor Swift. He used to be approached by “fat, hairy guys,” but now he is stopped by “14-year-old little girls” who recognize him as Travis’ brother.
Travis has been nominated for the favorite male sports star award alongside other athletes like Patrick Mahomes and Cristiano Ronaldo. He expressed his gratitude to Jason for his vote of confidence and promised to continue influencing kids in a positive way. Meanwhile, Taylor Swift herself has received six nominations at the Kids’ Choice Awards this year.
Jason also discussed the level of fame that Travis and Taylor experience during an appearance on the “Whiskey Ginger” podcast. He described it as “crazy” and mentioned that spending time with them made him realize how different their lives are from his own.
In a recent incident, Jason and his wife Kylie made headlines when they politely declined to take a photo with a fan in New Jersey. The woman, later identified as Andreé Goldberg, became confrontational and berated them. Jason’s wife stood her ground, telling the woman that she could smell alcohol on her breath. Jason and Kylie have been married since April 2018 and have three daughters together.
Overall, it is clear that Travis Kelce’s relationship with Taylor Swift has significantly impacted his popularity, particularly among younger fans. The couple’s fame has reached extraordinary levels, which Jason and Kylie have personally experienced. Despite the challenges that come with their newfound fame, Travis remains committed to being a positive influence on kids.
