Kylie Kelce says that her children have already started learning how to identify their uncle Travis Kelce when he plays on television.
While their dad – Jason – is currently a staple of NFL Sundays for the Philadelphia Eagles, Travis has been getting more media attention than ever. That means Travis’s nieces can see him on TV much more.
‘We like to look at the TV for times that Jason might have his helmet off, or Uncle Trav might have his helmet off,’ Kylie told People Magazine.
‘Those are the moments when I can really suck them into a game because then they don’t look like every other person on the field. When the helmets are off, they can say, “Oh, that’s definitely dad.”‘
While four-year-old Wyatt, two-year-old Elliotte, and eight-month-old Bennett have gotten good at spotting Jason, Kylie says they’ve been getting just as good at recognizing Travis.

As excited as Wyatt and sisters Bennett, 8 months and Elliotte, 2, are to spot dad, Wyatt has just as much fun looking for the Kansas City Chiefs tight end.
‘Anytime they see red teams on the TV, they say, ‘Are we cheering for the red team?’ Because usually, we’re watching Uncle Trav.’
All three of them have started to get better and better at understanding the game their father and uncle have made their living.
‘You can see how they’re picking up on those small hints and cues and learning how to watch football,’ she shares.
‘But I would say when it comes to watching the actual game, our middle Elliotte — actually, it’s the strangest thing — will cheer at the right times where it’s almost as if she understands the game.’
Kylie told People earlier this year – just before the Kelce brothers faced off in the Super Bowl – that Travis is the ‘absolute best’ uncle to the three girls.
‘It’s very funny, Jason said in an interview that he thinks [the girls] might like him more than they like Jason,’ Kylie joked.
‘I tell everybody, he comes to our house to visit and the poor guy doesn’t sit on the couch because our daughters will be like, ‘No, no, you sit on the floor. We’re gonna do a puzzle. We’re gonna build blocks. We’re gonna do this, we’re gonna do that,” she added.

‘Our oldest, she’s our boss. She’s our ring leader, and she just has demand after demand for him. And I’m like, ‘Trav, you know you can tell Wyatt no?”
‘He was like ‘Yeah, I don’t think I can.’ And so he will do it,’ she shared.
‘She’ll be like, ‘Jump up and down.’ He’ll do it. ‘Roll on the floor,’ he’ll do it. ‘Be the pony.’ He’ll do it. So he’s all-in when it comes to being an uncle. He is the epitome of an uncle, just through and through.’
