Travis previously had his own reality dating show, Catching Kelce, on E! in 2016, in which 50 women from 50 states vied for the tight end’s love. He called the experience “awkward” in January 2023 during an episode of The Pivot Podcast.

Jason’s talents aren’t limited to the football field. He and his teammates recorded a Christmas album, A Philly Special Christmas, in 2022. The proceeds went to the Children's Crisis Treatment Center in Philadelphia for a toy drive.

Travis wears No. 87 for the Chiefs. His jersey number is a tribute to Jason, who was born in 1987. “If there is a Kelce legacy, two brothers making it to the NFL,” he said in an interview with NFL Films, “it all started in 1987 because this big guy was born in 1987.”

Jason is married to Kylie McDevitt, and they share two kids, with a third baby on the way. He met Kylie on a dating app in 2015, and the two wed in 2018.

“The entire time I've been like, ‘That's been the goal. Now that it's actually happening, it's kind of sick,” Travis added. “Now someone's gotta send their brother home.”
