Jason Kelce and Travis Kelce are out on the golf course this weekend for the American Century Championship tournament when the former Philadelphia Eagles center shared how much he admires his younger brother.
“Travis and I have been close for a long time,” the father of four told reporters via Starcade Media. “Now with the [“New Heights”] podcast, we talk to each other more than we ever have.”
Jason shared that their relationship dynamic has changed since they’ve gotten older.
“We loved each other growing up. We still love each other,” he said. “Now it’s more like peer to peer, whereas growing up, being the older brother, it was a little bit different.”

While it used to be a typical older/younger brother relationship, now Jason considers Travis a close confidant and admires how he is a “great uncle” to his kids. Jason and his wife Kylie Kelce have four daughters: Wyatt, 5, Elliotte, 4, Bennett, 2, and Finnley, 3 months.
“Now, he’s my best friend on the planet,” Jason added. “We get to talk once a week and our families are close.”

“You’re amazing, Ky,” he continued speaking to Kylie before adorably speaking to his new niece. “Finn, you just look adorable, I don’t even have anything to say to you.”

Their podcast is a large part of how fans stay connected to the brothers and Jason was asked how they balance what’s public knowledge and what stays in the family group chat.
“I think we try to share the right amount on the internet, the viral moments and whatnot,” he added. “But you also try to keep some of the stuff private. … We’re a family that loves each other, we love being around each other, and it’s good to sit down and talk once a week.”
