Travis Kelce has become a household name across the world since the fag end of 2023. He had already risen to NFL superstardom, having won two Super Bowls in 2019 and 2022. A romance between Kansas City Chiefs tight and the world-famous pop star Taylor Swift kicked off during her Eras tour. Since then, their relationship has been subject to a media frenzy.
His elder brother, Jason Kelce is also no stranger to the limelight. Widely regarded as one of the greatest centers of all time. For over a decade now, he’s been with the Philadelphia Eagles. Jason also has a Super Bowl to his name.
The two brothers host a podcast called New Heights, where they discuss all things football along with their daily lives. The audience has had the opportunity to take a more intimate look at the stars’ personal lives and the dynamics within their inner circle. In today’s Christmas special episode titled “Christmas Chaos – Eagles Swiftmas and a White Elephant Flamethrower,” fans were treated to a hilarious cameo by their father, Ed Kelce!
Who is Travis Kelce’s father, Ed Kelce?
The episode contained a hilarious tidbit where the duo reacted to Jason receiving a call from Ed Kelce while recording a podcast. As the phone rings during the middle of the show, the Eagles center reacts “F*** it! Ed Kelce calling me in the middle of a show. Does he not know we’re in the middle of a show right now?” which his brother reacts “He does know!” As Jason glances at his screen saying “So, what’s he calling me for?” he’s met with Travis hilariously pestering him to answer the phone call on air and put the phone on blast!
To Travis’ amazement, Jason reveals that he declined the phone call and then calls Ed back. As the phone rings, he sheepishly replies “From Ed? Yes” as his younger brother bursts out laughing. Travis suggests it would be more appropriate to let it ring instead of pressing decline.

Shortly after, Ed Kelce picks up the phone asking his son “Are you on the Podcast?” adding “Well, I don’t want to talk if you record this.” As Travis watches on giggling, his brother goofily protests “We’re not recording! I wouldn’t do that to you. Why would I record you?” Travis puts an end to the goof-off saying “Stop recording” while trying to stop laughing himself. In this Podcast episode, the trio leaves the viewers with a huge smile on their faces.
Ed Kelce happens to have worked in the steel industry for most of his life. It has also been revealed that Jason and Travis used to accompany him to the steel mill when they were kids. Fast forward a few decades and the holiday cheer is infectious as we’re given a sneak peek into the father-son dynamic through shared banter. It’s a merry Kelsey family Christmas as always!
