    Best news Ever : Jason Kelce confirmed wife Kylie 6 weeks Pregnant with 4th Baby ' wonderful  God

    Speaking with his brother Travis Kelce on their podcast New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce, Jason spoke about having his family over at the 2024 Super Bowl.

    “Are mom and dad sitting on your sideline? Are they sitting on my sideline?”Jason asked Travis.

     

    “We do have to figure that out because we each get a certain amount of tickets, and I feel like you’re going to have more of a family-oriented thing,” Travis replied.

    “I’m also bringing Kylie’s parents, I’m bringing the girls,” Jason shared, referring to his wife.

    “Kylie’s bringing her OB because she’s going to be 38 weeks pregnant at the game,” Jason added.

    “Dude! Dude,” Travis responded in shock.

    “That could be a super Kelce Bowl. If she has a baby in the stadium, it’s officially scripted,” Jason laughed.

     

    “We’re in The Matrix, there’s no f***ing way,” Travis said

    Jason and Kylie went public with their relationship in 2015 after matching on Tinder.

    The couple got married in April 2018 at the Logan Hotel in Philadelphia and welcomed their first daughter, Wyatt, in 2019 and their second daughter, Elliotte, in 2021.

    Κylie Kelce Says She pυrposely hid herself frᴏm the camera “I eпjoy liviпg a private life, i am пot a Celebrity”

    Kylie Kelce says she’s overwhelmed and feels “guilty” that fans have become so intrigued by her life, as she hangs out with brother-in-law Travis Kelce‘s girlfriend, Taylor Swift, while husband Jason Kelce has made headlines for his viral shirtless Kansas City Chiefs game antics.

     

     

     

     

    Kylie Kelce Says She Feels ‘Guilty’ of Attention and That Her Life Is ‘Not That Fascinating’

     

     

    “I feel almost a little guilty that people are so interested and invested in what I’m doing,” Kylie, 31, told Good Morning America in an interview that aired on Monday, January 29. “I’m like, ‘I am trying to scrape applesauce off the couch. This is not that fascinating.’ So, it’s funny to me. I deeply appreciate the support,” she continued.

    Jason, 36, and Kylie share three daughters: Wyatt, 4, Elliotte, 2, and Bennett, 11 months. She works as a high school field hockey coach in suburban Philadelphia. Fans praised Kylie for her no-nonsense way of dealing with Jason when the Philadelphia Eagles star went shirtless and jumped out of their suite during the Chiefs’ playoff road game against the Buffalo Bills. With a beer in hand, he celebrated a Kansas City touchdown score by his brother by heading into the stands of Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park, New York, while surrounded by Bills fans. Kylie later explained how she was lenient at first before trying to get him under control.

    She recalled how Jason wanted the full tailgate experience with the Bills Mafia and was already in full party mode when he got to their suite. “He said to me, ‘I’m going to, I’m going to take my shirt off and I’m gonna jump out,’” Kylie told GMA in a segment that aired on January 26. “And I was like, ‘I don’t think that’s the best idea.

    ‘ But I think that it was that continued energy from when he was hyping himself up…” she continued. “So, the first time he jumped out of the suite, I was, you know what, go ahead. That’s my husband! And then the second and third time he did it, I was like, I’m gonna need you to get back in because the poor cops that are out front trying to keep the chaos at a minimum, are, you’re making their jobs harder.

    So, at first, I was all for it. And then I had to try and reel him back in.” Taylor’s fans were also thrilled to see her interacting with another member of Travis’ family, as Kylie and Jason were able to cheer on his little brother after the Eagles were eliminated from the playoffs in the wild card round. The “Cruel Summer” singer was seen hugging Kylie after big plays and posed for a group photo together.

    Football fans became aware of Kylie’s toughness and devotion to her husband and the game when she attended Super Bowl LVII in Glendale, Arizona, despite being 38 weeks pregnant with Bennett at the time. She even brought along her obstetrician to the big game in case she went into labor. Unfortunately, she didn’t have much to celebrate as far as on-field action, as Jason’s Eagles lost to Travis’ Chiefs, with the younger brother taking home his second Super Bowl ring in four years on February 12, 2023. Kylie gave birth to Bennett less than two weeks later on February 23, 2023.

  • How Jason Kelce decided to stick with ESPN as a broadcaster after leaving the NFL

    How Jason Kelce decided to stick with ESPN as a broadcaster after leaving the NFL

    Becoming a future member of the ESPN family is a “full circle” moment for newly retired Eagles center Jason Kelce.

    Two days after reports emerged the 36-year-old Kelce would be joining the Worldwide Leader as he embarks on a sports media career, the seven-time Pro Bowler elaborated Wednesday on how he reached his decision amid interest from other networks.

    “Nothing has been officially inked yet or announced yet but, obviously, there’s been a lot of reports out there about me going to ESPN and I think time will kind of take care of that but it’s a tremendous honor to even be considered to potentially work there,” Kelce said on the latest installment of the “New Heights” podcast he co-hosts with his younger brother, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.

    It was reported in April 2024 that Jason Kelce would be joining ESPN after his NFL retirement.AP

    Kelce, who officially called it a career in March after 13 seasons in Philadelphia, shared how ESPN “was everything” to the siblings growing up.

    “We were glued to the TV each and every day, so the fact that I may potentially, probably will be working there is pretty darn cool,” Jason said.

    The Athletic’s Andrew Marchand reported Monday that Kelce is joining the weekly “Monday Night Football” pregame show.

    The program features analysts Ryan Clark and Marcus Spears and is hosted by Scott Van Pelt.

    The publication reported in March that ESPN was pursuing Kelce, who also intrigued NBC, CBS and Amazon Prime Video.

    Travis, who is also segueing into media as the host of Amazon’s “Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity,” noted how “cool” it is “to see come full circle” for his brother.

    “I did my due diligence, you want to make sure you’re really looking at things, talking to people that are knowledgeable in the industry — neither one of us have ever done something like this. Throughout the whole process, meeting and talking to everyone over at ESPN, it became apparent that it was really the right fit and at the end of the day, something that I’m really, really looking forward to this next phase,” Jason said.

    “… I know to some degree who I’m working with and think very, very highly of all of them, I’m excited to learn. I know a lot about football but not a lot about this world, so, that’s just another avenue to continue to expand your knowledge, create relationships, cause that’s what this business is all about, that’s what every business is all about, it’s always about the people you interact with, so, really excited.”

    A former sixth-round pick out of Cincinnati, Kelce spent his entire NFL career with the Eagles, winning one Super Bowl at the end of the 2017 season.

    The future Hall of Famer was named First-Team All-Pro six times, playing in a total of 193 regular-season games throughout his career.

  • A$AP Rocky and Rihanna No Longer Speaking To Kanye West

    A$AP Rocky and Rihanna No Longer Speaking To Kanye West

     

    A$AP Rocky and Rihanna are no longer on speaking terms with Kanye West following Ye’s recent claim about Rocky.

    Last week, Kanye West made a bold allegation that designer Yoon Ambush slept with A$AP Rocky. The designer has also denied the allegation and has received support from a member of the A$AP Mob.

    In a post last week Thursday night, Kanye shared a screenshot of a list of names where he circles Yoon’s name as well as several others. “Other fake friend opps who hearted that Tremaine Threatened me on,” he captioned the screenshot.

    He posted another screenshot that read, “Ambush weak Rocky F***ed Yoon next.” In the comments section, Yoon denied the claim, writing, “Lol. Not true but okay.” A$AP Nast chimed in saying, “Keep the gang out this gz.”

    A$AP Rocky has not publicly responded to Kanye West, nor has his partner Rihanna, but sources close to the Bajan billionaire exclusively told Urban Islandz that they both cut Kanye off. We’re told that Rocky and Ye were working on new music and were in regular contact with each other, but that all shifted when the G.O.O.D. Music chief made the allegations about Yoon. Rocky felt betrayed by Ye and felt the claim disrespected his baby mother, Rihanna.

    “They haven’t spoken about the lie he told and believe me ASAP feels strongly about it because its like an assault on his relationship with Rih, almost like the guy trying to ruin their relationship,” sources said. “They’re one hundred percent not on speaking terms and its unlikely their recent recordings will see the light of day.”

    Our sources told us that A$AP Rocky has privately denied the allegation. The Harlem rapper and Kanye West regularly spoke, and Ye and Rihanna also occasionally talked. “All of that changed after last week, all communication stopped,” sources said.

    A$AP Rocky was also close friends with the late fashion icon Virgil Abloh who Kanye West also took aimed at in his rant, which further soured their friendship.

    Earlier this year, Rocky and Kanye were spotted in the studio working on new music, with Pusha T also showing up to the recording. Now it seems that music will not see the light of day because of Ye’s rant.

    Kanye last week hinted that he wanted to be considered as one of the artists to grace the stage alongside Rihanna, who was named as the headliner for the Super Bowl Half Time Show at the end of September.

    The Donda rapper had posted on his Instagram Story a screenshot of a news headline that said he was in the line-up of artists to be chosen. However, his recent behavior brings into question whether he will be chosen for the big stage, as the artist seems bent on stirring up controversy at every opportunity.

    This week has been unending with drama, and Yoon isn’t the first victim as Kanye continues to bash those who seem to disagree with him or support persons who stand up to him.

    The rapper has been under fire for his controversial ‘White Lives Matter‘ shirts, which have cast a dark shadow on Paris Fashion Week with Kanye calculatingly stealing the spotlight from the fashion show. The controversy has spilled over for days after the Yeezy season 9 launch.

    The rapper has been using his Instagram account as a tool to drag and bully anyone he disagrees with, including Vogue editor Gabriella Karefa-Johnson whose account and handle he shared so his 17 million followers can cyberbully her, Gigi Hadid and Hailey Bieber, and others.

     

  • ” She’s beautiful and Intelligent, make me fall more in love with Kelce’s family ” Jason Kelce 4-year-old daughter Wyatt made Taylor Swift all emotional(+VIDEO) Details below

    ” She’s beautiful and Intelligent, make me fall more in love with Kelce’s family ” Jason Kelce 4-year-old daughter Wyatt made Taylor Swift all emotional(+VIDEO) Details below

    Kylie Kelce is a Swiftie just like the rest of us. She just posted a sweet video of her 4-year-old daughter Wyatt, who she shares with husband Jason Kelce, and it’s set to the perfect Taylor Swift song.

    The TikTok starts with the preschooler sitting on the couch reading. She’s dressed in a gray Eagles t-shirt to support the football team her dad plays for as she flips through the pages. Then, the video cuts to a baby Wyatt — still in an Eagles shirt — sitting in a playpen reading a book about farm animals. Taylor Swift’s “Never Grow Up” plays, and we are feeling so emotional with the lyrics and the flashback.

    “Don’t you ever grow up. Just stay this little,” Swift croons, and it’s impossible not to tear up a little. Why do babies have to grow up so fast?

    Last month, Kylie called out Page Six on TikTok, which claimed she was “trying to avoid the Taylor Swift spotlight” that’s on the Kelce family after Jason’s brother Travis Kelce started dating the “Karma” singer in September.

    “I said it’s not my cup of tea to like, have attention on me. I didn’t say that,” she said in the video, while pointing at the headline.

     

    “That seems like a stretch to me. You’re reaching, you are reaching. You’re reaching!”

     

     

    In addition to Wyatt, Kylie and Jason also share daughters Elliotte, 2, and Bennett, 9 months. But Wyatt is the “ring leader.” “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,’” Kylie told PEOPLE. “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 continued. “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.” This family seems to have such a strong bond, and we love that they are supporting Taylor Swift now too!

     

     

    In Kylie’s video of Wyatt, she addressed the media in her caption. “If you’re gonna try to make a headline out of this, you better offer a suggestion of a better audio … because there isn’t one,” she said. Gotta agree with her there!

    She added, “(Eagles gear was a happy accident.)”

    So cute! People took to the comments praising the video and Kylie’s support of Swift. “You’re about to break the internet. This is precious!” one person wrote.

     

    “Absolutely no better audio … her songs are the soundtrack of life. Love this … ” another said.

    “Okay but imagine growing up and your aunt is Taylor Swift? ” another person said.

    This isn’t the first time Kylie’s joked about the “Cruel Summer” singer. In October, she joked about all the Swifties becoming NFL fans after Swift starting dating the Kansas City Chiefs tight end. She shared a video of Wyatt watching football, captioning it, “Just another swiftie tryna learn football, or a kid tryna avoid a nap. Who knows? #GoBirds.”

    In addition to Wyatt, Kylie and Jason also share daughters Elliotte, 2, and Bennett, 9 months. But Wyatt is the “ring leader.”

    “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,’” Kylie told PEOPLE. “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 continued. “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.”

     

    This family seems to have such a strong bond, and we love that they are supporting Taylor Swift now too!

    In response to fervent reports that he has secured a prime-time hosting position with ESPN, Jason Kelce cautions that his brother Travis’s arrangement isn’t yet final

    Jason Kelce reportedly has a new job.

    The legendary Philadelphia Eagles hung up his jersey at the end of last season, fuelling speculation about what his next career move will be.

    Recently, The Athletic’s Andrew Marchand reported that the former offensive lineman is joining ESPN’s ‘Monday Night Countdown’ — the network’s ‘Monday Night Football’ pregame show.

    Kelce hasn’t spoke about the reports until today, when he all but confirmed the rumors while speaking to brother Travis on their New Heights podcast.

    “Jason is heading to TV land,” Travis said on the episode. “We all knew it was f***ing coming we just didn’t know which direction you were going.

    “That’s right,” Jason responded.

    “Noting’s been officially inked yet or announced yet. Obviously there’s been a lot of reports out there about me going to ESPN. Time will take care of that.

    “It’s a tremendous honor to even be considered to potentially work there.

    “That network was everything that Travis and I watched growing up. We talk about it all the time. We lived watching ESPN.”

    “It fuelled out love for sports,” Travis added.

    “We were glued to the TV each and every day so the fact that I may potentially-probably-will be working there is pretty darn cool,” Jason continued.

    “That’s awesome, man” Travis added.

    “That’s some cool stuff to see full circle because we used to live and die by ESPN on that TV growing up. I’m happy as hell for you.”

    “I’m a talking head,” said Jason.

    “Meeting and talking to everyone at ESPN it became apparent that it was really the right fit.

    “It’s something I’m really looking forward to, this next phase.

    “I know to some degree who I’m working with and think very, very highly of all of them.

    “I’m excited to learn. I know a lot about football but not a lot about this world. So it’s just another avenue to continue to expand my knowledge and create relationships – that’s what this business is all about.

    “Really excited.”

    The Athletic previously reported that Jason could line up a new deal with one of the major US television networks, with the deal potentially including Travis and the brothers’ podcast.

    Per that report, NBC, CBS and ESPN were all interested in acquiring Jason’s talents for a major TV role.

    Amazon Prime Video was also a contender to land Jason’s services, with one potential deal involving Travis and the podcast.

    New Heights fans will be relieved to know that Jason joining ESPN won’t have any impact on the podcast.

    The elder Kelce joining ESPN comes after the network added two other powerhouse names this offseason.

    They have added Nick Saban to its college football coverage and Bill Belichick to its NFL coverage.

    Both Saban and Belichick were lauded for their performances during the NFL Draft. The former Patriots head coach in particular went down a storm and will appear weekly on ‘The Pat McAfee Show’ – which is licensed by ESPN – on Mondays during the NFL season.

    Kelce is expected to be joined on ESPN’s ‘Monday Night Countdown’ by host Scott Van Pelt and analysts Marcus Spears and Ryan Clark.

    Robert Griffin III is not expected back.

    Jason Kelce reveals he’s ‘almost a MONTH late’ with wife Kylie’s anniversary present… as brother Travis suggests he makes her a sword!

    Jason Kelce admitted he is ‘almost a month late’ with his wife, Kylie Kelce’s, anniversary present, as the couple celebrated six years of marriage in April.

    Jason admitted the delay in a present on this week’s episode of ‘New Heights’, with an explanation of him being busy because of the podcast’s live show in Cincinnati last month.

    The now-retired Eagles legend also recently joined the Monday Night Football crew, with discussions likely taking a long time to become final.

    Jason’s younger brother and podcast co-host, Travis Kelce, suggested his sibling should make Kylie a sword to make up for lost time.

    Travis has publicly dated 14-time Grammy Award winner Taylor Swift since last September. He did not speak on whether he tried to get the ‘Anti-Hero’ singer a sword as a gift.

     

    Jason admitted to not following through on a gift during this week's episode of 'New Heights'+

    ‘I mean, I don’t think she’d be into it,’ Jason said of getting Kylie a sword as a present. ‘Right now, a sword is definitely better than what I’ve currently gotten her.’

    ‘Now I gotta get it to Kylie before this episode airs on Wednesday. So I kind of (need to) move fast on this sword,’ Jason added.

    With Mother’s Day also on the horizon, Kelce will have to double up on the gifts. The couple has three daughters: 4-year-old Wyatt, 3-year-old Elliotte, and 1-year-old Bennett.

    Jason Kelce’s typical Mother’s Day gift to Kylie are ‘hydrangeas, some type of flowers, chocolates and a card.’

    Kylie has not disclosed whether Jason met his self-imposed deadline of getting her an anniversary gift by the podcast’s release.

    Jason and Kylie were married in April 2018, two months after the Eagles won the Super Bowl over a Tom Brady-led Patriots team.

    How does Patrick Mahomes maintain balance amid fame’s frenzy? We delve into the quarterback’s playbook for self-preservation in the public eye.

    Patrick Mahomes has risen to superstardom in the NFL, and here’s a glimpse into how he deals with fame

    Patrick Mahomes has taken the NFL by storm since becoming the starting quarterback for the Kansas City Chiefs in 2018. In just his second season as the starter, he led the Chiefs to their first Super Bowl victory in 50 years and was named Super Bowl MVP. Off the field, Mahomes has become one of the most marketable athletes in the world, signing lucrative endorsement deals with major brands. However, with fame and fortune comes increased scrutiny and pressure. How does Mahomes navigate his new-found superstardom? Here’s a look at how he maintains perspective, focuses on football, embraces some perks of fame, and keeps a close support system around him.

    Maintaining Perspective

    Despite all the accolades and wealth, Mahomes seems determined to stay grounded. In interviews, he consistently emphasizes that individual awards and endorsements mean little without team success. “The money and everything else doesn’t matter if you don’t have those Super Bowl rings at the end of your career,” Mahomes said in a recent Sports Illustrated article. “I want to play this game as long as I can and I want to win championships.”

    This mindset of prioritizing team goals over individual glory helps Mahomes maintain perspective amidst the fame. He views his massive contract extension with the Chiefs, worth over $450 million, not as an ego boost but as a means to an end. “I don’t want to just keep the same team together, I want to continue to build on the legacy we’ve started,” Mahomes explained. “I want this to be a dynasty for a long time.”

    By focusing on winning more titles rather than personal accolades, Mahomes ensures football remains the top priority even as his stardom grows. He seems to genuinely embrace his role as the face of the franchise while avoiding letting fame get to his head. Maintaining this team-first attitude will be crucial for Mahomes to sustain long-term success in the increasingly individualistic world of professional sports.

    Focus on Football

    While embracing the business opportunities that come with fame, Mahomes’ top focus remains on the gridiron. In the offseason, he trains relentlessly to improve his game. During the season, he spends endless hours studying film and working with coaches. According to teammates, Mahomes is usually the first player to arrive at the team facility and last to leave.

    “He’s always trying to get better, always trying to learn more,” said Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. “It’s not just talent with Pat, he puts in so much work.” This work ethic helps explain how Mahomes led the NFL in passing yards and touchdowns in his first full season as a starter in 2018 at just 23 years old.

    The dedication to constant self-improvement indicates Mahomes views football not just as his career but as his passion. While some superstars might coast after winning a Super Bowl, Mahomes is driven to prove his triumph was no fluke. He aims to cement his legacy not just through commercial success but championships, treating each season as an opportunity to lead his team back to the top. As long as Mahomes maintains this football-first mindset, he’ll remain in elite form on the field for years to come.

    Embracing Some Perks of Fame

    While team goals drive Mahomes primarily, he has embraced certain perks that come with superstardom off the field. He has landed major endorsement deals with brands like Oakley, Adidas, and Head & Shoulders, capitalizing on his fame and marketability. However, Mahomes’ marketing approach differs from some other athletes.

    Rather than overextending himself with dozens of partners, Mahomes has chosen selective partnerships with companies he genuinely supports. For example, his deal with Oakley aligns with his active lifestyle and interest in fitness. Mahomes also uses his platform purposefully, recently launching a charitable initiative called “15 and the Mahomies” to support community organizations.

    He seems aware that fame is fleeting in sports and wants to make the most of opportunities while prioritizing long-term viability over short-term gains. Mahomes’ restrained approach to endorsements protects his brand and prevents over-saturation that could reduce his value over time. It also allows him to avoid potential distractions that come with juggling too many partners. By leveraging partnerships strategically now, Mahomes is setting himself up for continued prosperity long after his playing days.

    Keeping a Close Support System

    Compared to some celebrities who crave constant attention, Mahomes seems to value his privacy greatly. There is little known about his personal life or relationships outside of football due to his low-key nature. This could be a conscious strategy to avoid constant scrutiny that comes with superstardom. By keeping personal details private, Mahomes is able to maintain some normalcy away from the spotlight.

    The private approach also allows Mahomes to safely keep close the small circle of family and friends he trusts most. This likely includes his long-time girlfriend Brittany Matthews, a former professional soccer player. Having a tight support system is crucial for Mahomes to stay grounded amid the glitz and glamour surrounding his stardom. Those closest to him can help ensure fame and fortune don’t inflate his ego or priorities.

    Mahomes’ inner circle also protects him from potential leeches or hangers-on just looking to bask in his celebrity glow. His low-key personal life suggests Mahomes values real relationships over superficial ones that fame often brings. This strategy of prioritizing a select few trusted confidants will serve Mahomes well as his stardom grows. It allows him to avoid pitfalls some less discreet celebrities have faced from losing touch with reality or true friends.

    In summary, Patrick Mahomes has rapidly risen to become one of the biggest stars in the NFL thanks to his elite playmaking ability and charismatic personality. However, with fame comes challenges to navigate increased pressure and scrutiny. Mahomes appears to be handling stardom remarkably well by maintaining perspective on football above all else, embracing business opportunities strategically, and keeping a close circle away from the spotlight. As long as he continues with this balanced approach, Mahomes seems destined for sustained success both on and off the field for years to come.
