Ahead of his brother’s appearance in Super Bowl LIX – as well as the appearance of his former team – Jason Kelce has arrived at the Caesars Superdome.
The former Philadelphia Eagles center was caught by cameras sitting in one of the suites at the iconic New Orleans stadium before kickoff took place.
Seated alongside him was his wife, Kylie Kelce, a longtime Philadelphia fan who is cheering on the Eagles.
As revealed on his ‘New Heights’ podcast, Jason Kelce isn’t rooting for one team in particular in this game.
It’s a potentially shocking choice, considering that he was drafted by the Eagles and played there for 13 seasons.
However, considering his brother, Travis, is playing on the other side, it might make a little bit of sense.
‘I would be lying if I said I don’t want the Eagles to win,’ Jason said on the podcast.
‘I want them to. But I also want Travis Kelce to win. So, that’s a long-winded way of saying I just want to see a good football game. And, whoever wins, I’m going to be happy for that guy.’
But it’s possible that Kylie isn’t exactly as diplomatic as her husband.
In past years, she’s stayed true to her Birds wherever she goes and has refused to wear the gear of another team.
‘Kylie got some love from the Philadelphia fans for her continued refusal to wear Chiefs gear even though she has personal connections. She just does not want to do it,’ Jason said on a ‘New Heights’ episode last yearHe added, ‘I have tried [saying], ‘Kylie, we have family in the game, it’s okay to cheer on that team. They’re not playing the Eagles. You realize this isn’t against the Eagles right?’ She just refuses.’
Considering that this is the biggest game of the year, it could be safe to assume that Kylie isn’t wearing any red or yellow in her outfit.
As for Jason, he appeared to wear something more subtle – but accessorized with a slew of Mardi Gras beads.He’ll be watching on from a suite with Taylor Swift, Ice Spice, and the rest of the Kelce family as they watch to see if Travis and the Chiefs can win a third-straight Super Bowl.
If they do so, they’ll be the first team to ever accomplish the feat.
Meanwhile, Philadelphia is hoping to win the franchise’s second-ever Super Bowl title – having previously won Super Bowl LII over the New England Patriots.
This is a rematch of Super Bowl LVII from the 2022 season – where the Chiefs won by three points.
