Kylie Kelce may be the sister-in-law of Kansas City Chiefs superstar tight end Travis Kelce and come to support them whenever she gets the chance, but she will never wear any Chiefs gear. Unlike Travis’ famous girlfriend Taylor Swift, Kylie prefers to keep it as minimal as possible.
On Monday, the Chiefs faced the New Orleans Saints, and Kylie’s husband, retired NFL player Jason Kelce, arrived at Arrowhead Stadium early to tailgate with the fans. After spending a few moments mingling with the fans, Kelce sat in the ESPN booth to cover the game.
Kylie wasn’t with Jason when the 36-year-old golf carted his way through the back alleys of the GEHA Field. However, later on, when Kelce curated a defense for his brother’s slow start to the season, a video appeared on X announcing the arrival of his wife.

The mother of three, flanked by one of the stadium staff, made her way to the viewing area. Fans of the Kelce family highlighted that she chose to wear New Heights podcast merchandise instead of any Chiefs gear while Jason roamed in a Chiefs jersey while tailgating.

Fans admire Kylie Kelce for sticking to her roots by choosing to avoid wearing any Chiefs merchandise
Jason Kelce played his entire NFL career for the Philadelphia Eagles. He met Kylie through a dating site while he was breaking out as the starting center for his team.
They eventually got married and had kids, and Kylie would frequently show up to support her husband wearing Eagles gear. Yet she never touched anything remotely related to the Chiefs because of loyalty to the team she grew up supporting. Being a Philly-bred lady, she will never betray the Eagles, even though she never stopped Jason from wearing them.

“I am like an #Eagles fan to the extent of like if Jason ever went and played for another team, I would NOT wear another team’s stuff”

Never ask a woman her age, a man his salary, or Kylie Kelce to wear non-eagles NFL merch https://t.co/9BOQFa8ku0

Her dedication to the eagles is unmatched. She will wear anything Travis related but never a chiefs fit and I respect that as an avid Seahawks fan https://t.co/Hpowo3y2j8

As for the game, the Chiefs overcame the challenge posed by the Saints. Andy Reid’s side won 26-13, and Travis Kelce caught nine passes for 70 yards and even pulled off a lateral when he had the chance.
