As the attention around the Kelce family continues to skyrocket, Kylie Kelce, wife of Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce, says she doesn’t like being in the spotlight.

‘It’s not particularly my cup of tea to be in the spotlight or in front of a camera,’ Kelce said Sunday after hosting a field hockey clinic in Kansas City.

Kelce was appreciative of the attention her family has received in recent months, namely since her brother-in-law, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, and Taylor Swift started dating.

That attention allowed for more notoriety for her field hockey clinic. Kelce added she was a communication major in college, so she’d rather be on the profiling celebrities, instead of being one.

‘I love to be behind it, that’s my bread and butter,’ Kelce said of the cameras.

One of the biggest apexes of Kylie Kelce’s celebrity status comes Monday night, when the Eagles play the Chiefs in Kansas City.

Kylie Kelce will be in attendance, but pledged to not sit in Travis’ suite at Arrowhead Stadium, opting to be in the crowd with a majority of fans.

Swift will not be in attendance on Monday night, having just wrapped up her South American leg of The Eras Tour.

Both sets of parents of the high-profile Kelce-Swift couple, Scott and Andrea Swift, as well as Ed and Donna Kelce, are expected to be at Arrowhead Stadium.

In Jason Kelce’s career, the Eagles have never beaten the Chiefs, most notably, falling in Super Bowl LVII last February.

The mom of three — wife of 35-year-old Philadelphia Eagles Center Jason Kelce — shared a photo her Instagram Story Wednesday of her youngest daughter, Bennett Llewellyn, snoozing in a wagon on a family beach day.

“Those wagon beach naps hit different,” Kylie, 31, wrote of her 5-month-old. The couple also shares daughters Elliotte, 2, and Wyatt, 3.

Earlier this month, the football player’s mom Donna posted several photos of the family’s trip to Disney World on her Instagram. In the photos, Kelce, 35, wore a red and white Disney shirt and posed with one of his daughters in matching Mickey Mouse ears.

In others, the NFL star’s wife Kylie held another one of the couple’s daughters while staring at Goofy.

It’s clear that Kelce is having fun being a father to three girls. In June, the athlete posted a hilarious video of his daughter Wyatt yelling at his brother Travis Kelce, 33, for wearing the same wig that Jason wore during an episode of the brothers’ podcast, New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce.

In the video, Wyatt told Travis to “take it off!” several times, prompting Travis to ask, “Why do I have to take it off?”

“Because I don’t like it,” Wyatt asserted, leaning into Travis’ face. “You don’t like it? I thought you said you wanted Dad to have pink hair!” Travis said.
“Yeah, but I don’t want you to have pink hair!” Wyatt insisted. When Travis asked why he can’t have pink hair, Wyatt hilariously responded, “Because you’re naughty and you’re sneaky!”

On the latest episode of the New Heights podcast, which Jason co-hosts with his brother and Kansas City Chiefs star Travis, the two sought to clear the air surrounding various rumors.

One such rumor was that Jason and his wife Kylie, who recently wowed at the Milan Fashion Week in Italy, were expecting their fourth child.

“Listen, Kylie, apparently, is pregnant with our fourth child, it’s a boy,” Jason sarcastically told Travis, prompting an even more over-the-top reaction.

“What, no way?” Travis responded.

Jason added that this seemingly occurred “In this made-up universe,” after which Travis asked, “You guys made a baby in Milan?”

That’s right!” Jason joked, adding, “If she got pregnant in Milan we’ve got some things to answer here.”

Travis also addressed a report that claimed he had recently had dinner at a Nobu in California with San Francisco 49ers star Christian McCaffrey and his fiancee Olivia Culpo.

“No, we didn’t,” he said.

“But if I would’ve known him and Olivia were there I would’ve sent over a drink or at least come over and said congrats on an unbelievable season.

Jason Kelce received a new moniker when he made a surprise debut at WWE Wrestlemania on Saturday. The 36-year-old retired NFL veteran, along with his former colleague Lane Johnson, discreetly interrupted Dominik Mysterio’s match against Santos Escobar. In an attempt to keep things low-key, the two wore Philadelphia Eagles headpieces that covered their entire faces.

When they removed their masks and matching black tank tops to reveal their identities, presenter Pat McAfee announced, “Welcome to Wrestlemania, Philadelphia Eagles.” Another announcer quickly referenced Swift, 34, saying, “Isn’t that whatshername’s brother-in-law?”

The 36-year-old “Pat McAfee Show” presenter then belted out her popular song “22” before explaining, “Is that who you are talking about?”. Jason in his response does not mind being called Taylor Swift’s brother-in-law, but he insisted that he he respects the privacy of his brother’s relationship with the billionaire singer.

Jason said “Travis and Taylor have an amazing relationship and I respect their privacy, all they need is our continuous love and support”. Travis Kelce, Jason’s younger brother, started dating the “Love Story” singer last summer, and the two have been making sports headlines ever since.

Jason’s wife, Kylie Kelce, recently spoke out about Travis’ friendship with the pop singer, revealing that their family was not used to being under such great scrutiny.

“That’s intriguing. I’m trying to take it in stride and make sure that when people talk about me, it’s about something meaningful,” she said on “Today” last week, referring to the Eagles Foundation charity.

Kylie and Jason spent a lot of time with the Grammy winner during the 2023 NFL season, which concluded in February with Travis’ third Super Bowl victory and Jason’s dramatic retirement announcement. “Ultimately, if Travis is happy, we’re happy,” Kylie, 32, added.

The mother of three, who has kids Wyatt, 4, Elliotte, 3, and Bennett, 1, with the future Hall of Fame center, stated that she and her family are “always cheering on Uncle Trav.”

“It’s such a treat to be able to do that on and off the field, but it’s been amazing,” she said when asked about seeing Swift’s romance with her brother-in-law, 34, “close up.”

Swift and Travis were most recently sighted in the Bahamas, enjoying the NFL offseason and the singer’s break from her record-breaking Eras tour.

Jason Kelce says Travis Kelce had every right to pound a beer at their “graduation” ceremony last week … ’cause it was all for a good cause, and for their podcast.

The recently-retired Eagles center responded to someone online over the weekend who kinda criticized Travis’ frat boy routine from last at the University of Cincinnati … where he walked across the stage after receiving a fake diploma, only to pound a cold one right after.

It was all a hokey bit that Travis and Jason were doing with the university as part of a “New Heights” episode … and it was meant to highlight the fact they never walked back in the day.Jason highlighted that in his comment, writing … “I know it looks like a graduation from the video, but this was actually at the end of a New Heights Live podcast that we put on to raise money for the University’s NIL. The university did this to poke fun at my brother and I for never really picking up our diplomas.”

The night was packed with more shenanigans … in particular, when the band hit the familiar notes of Taylor Swift‘s “Shake It Off,” proud BF Travis couldn’t help busting moves and dancing his tail off.

Anyway … at the end of the day, it was all good clean fun, and Jason doesn’t think it was in bad taste.

Jason and his wife kylie will be expanding their family to six.

NFL star Jason Kelce has known since he was a young child that he wanted to be a father.

In a post-practice interview from 2019, the Philadelphia Eagles center recounted a story his own dad told him before he and his wife Kylie Kelce welcomed their first child.

“I was reminded by my dad of a story when my brother was born. My brother [Travis Kelce] was [born] two years after I was … I was in the waiting room and stuff like that, and one of the nurses came up [and asked me,] ‘What do you want to be when you grow up?’ and I said, ‘Oh, I want to be a dad.’ So it’s kind of come full circle,” Kelce said at the time.

Today, the pro football player and his wife Kylie McDevitt Kelce are parents to three kids, all under the age of 5.

Jason and Kylie Kelce married in 2018 after meeting through the dating app Tinder, according to an episode of Jason and Travis Kelce’s “New Heights” podcast. In the caption of a photo posted to her Instagram account in November 2015, not long after the couple began dating, Kylie Kelce wrote, “Thank goodness you swiped right too.”

Kylie Kelce was born in the Philadelphia Main Line suburb of Narberth, Pennsylvania, and studied communications in college. She played field hockey in school, and has expressed a continued love of the sport on her Instagram page.

, Wyatt is the oldest of the Kelce kids. Jason Kelce said in episode 52 of his “New Heights” podcast that he thinks he and Wyatt have a lot in common, including their physical features and their personalities.

“She’s got my brows. She’s got my furrow. Her facial features are very similar,” the father of three said.

“She’s very emotional. She is happy, mad, sad, all of it,” he added.

When Jason Kelce returned to work, he revealed in a post-practice interview that at first, Wyatt could have been named Charlotte.

“My wife and I, we were thinking before we knew the sex, it was gonna be Wyatt for a boy and call her Charlotte for a girl,” Jason Kelce said. “And a couple of our friends took that, so we were kind of trying to think of what we were going to name a girl if it was a girl, and then we both settled on — we kind of liked the way Wyatt sounded regardless, so that’s kind of how that went.”

Two-year-old Elliotte, or Ellie, is Jason and Kylie Kelce’s second child.

Bennett, also known as Benny, is the third and youngest child of the Kelce brood, at just 10 months old.

Jason Kelce and his wife Kylie continue to gush about how amazing an uncle Travis Kelce is to their daughters after he surprised them with $1m worth gifted eachJason Kelce and his wife Kylie continue to gush about how amazing an uncle Travis Kelce is to their daughters. The oldest Kelce and his wife have three daughters: Wyatt, 3; Elliotte, 2; and Bennett, 8 months.

In a recent interview with PEOPLE magazine, the couple spoke about the upcoming holidays with their families.

Kylie noted how the NFL schedule can be difficult around the holidays and that the family celebration is typically put on hold. She was then asked about Travis Kelce and his skills as an uncle, in response to which she was fulsome in praise.

“It’s very funny, Jason said in an interview that he thinks [the girls] might like him more than they like Jason.”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.

Kylie Kelce went on with her description of Travis Kelce as an uncle:

“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.”So he’s all-in when it comes to being an uncle. He is the epitome of an uncle, just through and through.”
Jason Kelce and his wife Kylie are grateful for Travis as their daughter’s uncle and how attentive he is towards them. Even playing with blocks and everything else they may want.

Travis Kelce’s young niece is a Swiftie

Swifties’ began learning about the NFL after their favorite singer began dating the Kansas City Chiefs tight end. In a video posted by Kylie Kelce, their older daughter Wyatt was sitting on the sofa watching her dad’s game with her mom. She then began asking her mom questions about every player.

“I don’t think in his life, Jason ever assumed that he would be the father of three daughters,” Kylie told PEOPLE.

“He would always be like, ‘No, no, we’ll get a boy. We’ll get a boy.’ And I’m like, ‘You got to stop challenging the universe.

Stop saying it because you’re the universe is like, ‘Yeah, okay,’ ” she chuckled. ”I used to tell him before we had our first daughter, she’s gonna have you wrapped around her finger. He said, ‘I’m not gonna spoil her!’ And I’m like, ‘I don’t think you understand.’ ”

“It’s been amazing to see him sort of transformed from only having a brother, not having any first cousins, so really having like no experience with little girls. And now, he is absolutely head over heels in love with his daughters, and they feed that back to him tenfold,” she shared.

Michael Jordan has been hailed the greatest basketball player of all time and his unmatched talents on the court will once again be on display in a new documentary series, “The Last Dance,” that regales his final season with the legendary Chicago Bulls.

The highly anticipated 10-part ESPN and Netflix production with never before seen footage, follows Jordan during the 1997-98 season and gives a glimpse behind the curtain of the team’s dramatic road to the epic final showdown that cemented them as one of the greatest dynasties in sports history.

Jordan, who is currently at his home in Florida with his wife and two of his children, joined “Good Morning America” on Thursday to discuss the upcoming series and share what he remembers most about that final year.

“It was a trying year, we all were trying to enjoy that year knowing that it was coming to an end,” he explained. “Phil [Jackson] started off the year by saying, ‘this is the last dance,’ and we played it that way.”

“Mentally it just kind of tugged at you throughout the course of the year, you know, but that this had to come to an end but it also centered our focus to making sure we ended it right,” Jordan continued. “As sad as it sounds at the beginning of the year we tried to rejoice and enjoy the year and finish it off the right way.”

Jordan spent 15 seasons in the NBA, led the Chicago Bulls to six championships, was a six-time NBA Finals MVP, two-time Olympic gold medalist and 14-time NBA All-Star — just to name a few of his top accolades.

The retired NBA superstar said the series that serves as a retrospective of his basketball career will also look back to simpler times when he was playing college ball for the Tar Heels at the University of North Carolina.

“You’re gonna see a lot of things that people forgot life was that way,” he said, recalling times before the era of social media. “The thing that people are going to learn, and my kids laugh about it when they see it, but we used postage stamps back in those days, you know. Where I had to ask my mom to send my postage stamps.”

He continued, “you had to live life as it came, you know, and each day you learned the education aspect, spending time with friends and family, it wasn’t via the phone, you know, it was actually in presence and you wrote letters.”

“My mom, she kept all my letters,” he said. “It’s somewhat embarrassing, but yet it’s refreshing that I took the time to write a letter to say how much I love my mom and, you know, what I needed in college.”

ESPN originally planned to release the documentary in June to coincide with what would have been the NBA Finals, but moved up the release two months amid the coronavirus pandemic to provide fans stuck at home with something exciting to watch during these tough times.

The series flashes back to some early career highlights at North Carolina, like his buzzer beater in ’82 to win the NCAA title, which he said was the moment he went from Mike to Michael Jordan.

“Up until that point no one knew who I was — outside the university — I was just known as Mike Jordan,” he said. “And when I hit that shot, my whole name became Michael Jordan. And I think it resonated with a lot of people outside of UNC and I just started piling on that name itself — from the successes that I endured throughout the rest of my career.”

There was no team more dominant in the ’90s than the Chicago Bulls led by Jordan, who became a cultural icon on top of his unmatched athleticism.

Jordan became widely known as “Air Jordan” for his prolific slam dunks followed by his signature tongue out celebration, but it was perseverance that his parents instilled in him that he said carried him throughout his career beyond the basketball court.

“They were hardworking people and they instilled that not just in me but in my brothers and sisters,” Jordan said. “It just became a part of my nature I always take a negative and turn it into a positive — that all came from my parents.”

He also hailed his brother Larry for his unwavering support and helping him become the man and player he turned out to be.

“I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for my brother Larry. Larry pushed me and we used to fight after every game, but through that fight, you know, emerged someone like me,” he said. “He supports me and he works for me and the team and I never would have gotten this far without him.”

The series debuts on ESPN Sunday at 9 pm ET and will air over five Sundays through May 17 with two 1-hour broadcasts per week.

Being Michael Jordan is much more difficult than most could ever comprehend. The Chicago Bulls legend has a net worth of $2.2 billion and even when he didn’t have that kind of wealth and was in the NBA playing for a ‘couple million dollars’ a year, it’s tough to find people who want you, for you. 

Everybody in Jordan’s life most certainly wants something out of their connection with the 6x NBA champion. So, when it comes to finding true friends, MJ has always had to keep an eye for people who were simply trying to use him. 

This is why most of his closest friends are ones he made before all of the fame, whether it be from school or it be from when he was in his infancy stage of being a star in the league. Someone who he met around the time of his rookie season was a man who he would go on to call a friend even after his second retirement and beyond.

George Koehler can safely say that he is a close friend of Michael Jordan 

The first man who met Michael Jordan after he had gotten drafted to the Bulls was none other than George Koehler. Well, he technically wasn’t the ‘first man’ who MJ met as team personnel would be the first but when it comes to native Chicagoans, Koehler might’ve been the first. 

He owned a limo company at the time and this was perfect timings as someone who would have their fame skyrocket in a matter of weeks needed both a personal car service and driver. Luckily for him, Koehler provided his services almost immediately. 

“I am not really the driver. I’m kind of like the personal slave. There are 1,000,000 people in this world who would love to hang out with Michael. Fortunately, I am a friend, and as long as he wants me around, I will be around,” said Koehler. 

Michael Jordan lost a great friend in Charles Barkley 

One man who Michael Jordan befriended and became quite fond of during his time in the NBA was none other than Charles Barkley. They would golf together and gamble together while also doing interviews on air with one another. However, this all changed when Chuck took to his ‘Inside the NBA’ show to berate MJ on his front office management skills while with the Washington Wizards. Jordan took this personally and for the past 15+ years, they have not spoken.

Considered by many as the GOAT – or greatest of all time – of basketball, Michael Jordan has set his fair share of records on the court, but he just set another major record by donating a whopping $10 million to Make-A-Wish. The donation, given just ahead of his 60th birthday, is the largest donation the organization has ever received from an individual in its 43-year history.

Jordan hopes his donation will inspire others to celebrate his birthday on Feb. 17 by donating to Make-A-Wish, which brings surprises, or “wishes,” to children diagnosed with terminal diseases. Many children wish to meet celebrities, like Jordan, or to have experiences like going to Disney World.

Jordan, who quickly rose to fame after joining the Chicago Bulls in 1984, granted his first wish in 1989 and has since granted hundreds more. He is still one of the most requested celebrities by wish recipients, according to the organization.

“For the past 34 years, it’s been an honor to partner with Make-A-Wish and help bring a smile and happiness to so many kids,” Jordan said. “Witnessing their strength and resilience during such a tough time in their lives has truly been an inspiration. I can’t think of a better birthday gift than seeing others join me in supporting Make-A-Wish so that every child can experience the magic of having their wish come true.”

One of the notable wishes he granted was for an 11-year-old in 2000. A girl named Katie dreamed of becoming a basketball player but was diagnosed with a brain tumor and had to put her dream on hold as she received treatment. Meeting Jordan through Make-A-Wish helped reignite her passion for the sport.

“Thinking about [meeting Michael] helped me get through all of my treatments,” Katie said. “It gave me something else to dream about and think about.”

She not only overcame her brain tumor, but she went on to become a staff member for Make-A-Wish Mid-Atlantic for five years.

Make-A-Wish will use Jordan’s donation to make future wishes. Jordan’s philanthropy often makes headlines as he donates to several charities a year, including Boys and Girls Club, of which he is an alumnus. In 2021, Jordan, who is a North Carolina native and owns the Charlotte Hornets, donated $10 million to open two new medical clinics in North Carolina, regional health care provider Novant Health announced.

While a $10 million donation and hundreds of wishes granted makes him one of Make-A-Wish’s greatest benefactors, Jordan does not hold the organization’s record. That’s John Cena, the wrestling star and actor who, starting in 2002, has granted a total of 650 wishes and received recognition from Guinness World Records. No one else has granted more than 400 wishes.
