Jason Kelce may have the internet calling for his portrait to hang in the Louvre, but his wife’s reaction to his shirtless antics wasn’t quite as enthusiastic.
On Wednesday’s episode of New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce, the brothers debriefed Sunday’s exciting playoff game — which saw the Kansas City Chiefs defeat the Buffalo Bills to secure a spot in the AFC Championship — and Jason gave fans what they really wanted: a breakdown of his shirtless moment at Highmark Stadium.
“I wanted to take everything off and be out there with the fans,” he revealed of his mindset on Sunday. “I don’t know if I’m wrong in my head, but I feel like taking your shirt off is a Buffalo Bills thing, right?”
Travis agreed, with Jason, 36, adding that he wanted “the full experience.”
His wife, Kylie Kelce, who was also in attendance at the game, wasn’t quite as thrilled with the show Jason put on, though. “I don’t think she was happy about it, to be honest with you,” he admitted after Travis said he wanted to see more of his sister-in-law’s reaction to the scene “so bad.”
“There was not enough cameras on the suite where you can see Kylie,” the tight end, 34, complained.

Jason did share, though, that Kylie, 31, who he shares three daughters with, was warned ahead of time about the plan.
“I’m not going to lie, I gave Kylie a heads-up. The moment we get into the suite I said, ‘I’m taking my shirt off and jumping out of that suite.’ And she said, ‘Jason don’t you dare,’ ” the Philadelphia Eagles center recalled, adding that he was “not asking for permission.”
“Once a Kelce man’s determined, there’s no f—— stopping him,” Travis agreed.

Kylie was “already telling me to be on my best behavior cause we were meeting Taylor [Swift],” Jason continued, before referring to their first date — when he fell asleep at the bar and his friends had to carry him home — to defend his choice of actions.
“I was like ‘Kylie, when I met you, the first day I met you I was black-out drunk and fell asleep at the bar. This is part of the charm. This is part of the Jason Kelce charm,’ ” he said.
Travis said it was “a moment that I’ll never forget” — even though he was only made aware of it after the game ended.
“Dude, that picture is… I mean everybody’s saying put that thing in the Louvre. Honestly, I might get somebody to f——- make that portrait,” he joked, referring to the viral content that the shirtless moment inspired — and the calls from fans who jokingly said the photo should be hanging in the famous art museum in Paris. “That is epic.”

While Kylie may have been less than pleased by her husband’s show, Swift, 34, loved it — and Travis said so himself.
“Your best first impression is the worst impression ever,” the tight end said before sharing, “Tay said she absolutely loved you.”
He said the entire thing “felt like it was a scene out of Old School where Will Ferrell’s f——- running, ‘We’re going streaking!’ ”
