The brothers both previously completed their degrees but neither was able to attend a graduation ceremony to receive their diplomas.

The Kelce brothers took their podcast to their alma mater this week and the live show ended with a surprise — a long-overdue college graduation ceremony at the University of Cincinnati.

Travis and Jason Kelce returned to the university Thursday night to record a live episode of their podcast, “New Heights,” in front of thousands of fans at the Fifth Third Arena.

The live taping concluded with a surprise graduation ceremony for the brothers, during which they were both dressed in the classic graduation cap and gown.

University of Cincinnati president Neville Pinto — also in traditional graduation garb — presented the brothers with their diplomas, the Cincinnati Enquirer reported. Their parents, Donna and Ed Kelce, and UC athletic director John Cunningham joined them on stage for the mini ceremony.

After hugging Pinto but before grabbing his diploma, Travis Kelce downed an entire beer as “Fight For Your Right” by The Beastie Boys blared over the arena’s speakers.

Jason Kelce attended UC from 2006 to 2010 and Travis Kelce from 2008 to 2012, according to the university. The brothers played football for the school and shared the field for two years as their educations overlapped.

According to the Enquirer, Jason Kelce earned a marketing degree, but wasn’t able to make it to the commencement ceremony, and Travis Kelce finished his outstanding credits to complete his degree in interdisciplinary studies from the College of Arts and Sciences in 2022.

“A surprise commencement we’ll never forget,” the Cincinnati Bearcats said on social media alongside a carousel of images from the event.

“Congratulations to Travis and Jason on (finally) picking up their diplomas!”

Hours before his New Heights live show begins in Cincinnati, Jason Kelce hilariously took it upon himself to test out the equipment for their ‘Lombaby Games’.

The 36-year-old took on the inflatable jump and duck challenge in the hours before the show started and even though he recently retired from the NFL, he showed he hasn’t loss any of his athletic edge just yet.

The older Kelce brother completed nine jumps and ducks in total before failing to jump over a pole that swung around, much to the amusement of Travis who was watching on from the side.

Kelce’s tally was even more impressive given he had ditched his trademark flip flops for his timberland boots – which didn’t go unnoticed in the comment section when the New Heights account on X posted the video.

‘No flip flops? Scandalous,’ wrote one fan, while another said: ‘The Hops this dude has in Tims is unparalleled.’

Kelce may have retired from the NFL but he hasn’t lost any of his agility just yet 

They were, of course, referencing Kelce’s infamous leap out of a VIP suite in Buffalo in January that he was sharing with Taylor Swift as they cheered Travis and the Kansas City Chiefs on.

That night, a shirtless Kelce jumped out the window, landing on icy ground in Buffalo but remaining on his feet before downing a beer in celebration at Travis scoring a touchdown.

‘Jason should get a sponsorship from Timberlands because he’s crazy agile in them. Whether jumping out of the Bills arena suites shirtless, at Wrestlemania, or here for the Lombaby Games,’ another fan said.

The Lombaby Games have become a tradition with the Kelce brothers in the couple of years where they’ve been running their New Heights podcast, pitting college athletes against academics.

The brothers will hold the games on Thursday night before their live podcast.

 

 

Kansas City Chiefs’ tight end Travis Kelce has broken his silence on the recent backlash he faced after a beer chugging stunt during a staged commencement ceremony. Addressing public critics who labeled him as an “attention seeker” and “immature,” Kelce defended his actions, asserting that he was simply being true to himself.

 

In a candid response to the criticism, Kelce questioned why his behavior had sparked such strong reactions, emphasizing that he saw no wrongdoing in his actions. Refusing to bow to pressure or conform to expectations, Kelce reiterated his commitment to staying authentic, regardless of public opinion.

“What have I done wrong? I’m just being me,” Kelce remarked defiantly. “The more y’all folks keep hating and slamming, the more I keep being myself. I’ll have those who will love me for me, and I don’t have to change a thing about me.”

Kelce’s resolute response reflects his determination to stand firm in the face of adversity and maintain his sense of self. While some may continue to criticize him, Kelce remains unwavering in his conviction that staying true to himself is paramount.

The question remains: will Kelce’s bold stance succeed in silencing his detractors? Only time will tell. However, one thing is certain: Kelce’s unapologetic authenticity continues to resonate with fans who admire his willingness to defy expectations and embrace his true identity.

Drew Barrymore showered Jason Kelce with flowers backstage at WrestleMania in Philadelphia.

The actress, Kelce, and his former teammate, Lane Johnson, were all guest celebrities in the WWE‘s two-night celebration through April 6 and 7 at Lincoln Financial Field.

After the event, a video of Barrymore, in character as Flower Power, meeting Kelce and Johnson backstage surfaced. She handed Kelce a gold WWE replica belt before covering him in flowers.

‘I am Flower Power,’ she said as she entered the room. Kelce played along with the character, saying: ‘You look unbelievable.’

‘Thank you very much,’ Barrymore responded. ‘Flower Power wanted to dress up to present you with this [belt] that has been all over the place. It was at the Super Bowl, but it needs to come home to you, Jason and Lane, and come home to Philly.’

The retired Eagles center accepted the belt and thanked Barrymore for delivering it.

‘I love this, Flower Power, thank you for delivering the golden belt for WrestleMania,’ Kelce exclaimed before they broke character. Barrymore was the first to break as she introduced herself and gushed over the former Eagle and veteran offensive tackle.

After exchanging introductions and hugs, Barrymore asked Kelce what his ring name would be, to which he responded ‘Hybernating Jason.’ After agreeing they would be a good tag team, Barrymore sprinkled the flowers on Kelce.

‘The Rock gave me this fanny pack, and I’d like to just [sprinkle petals on Kelce,] she said while performing the playful ritual. ‘Remember I told you you’d be surrounded in nature?’

‘Oh, please sprinkle me,’ Kelce said, laughing.

Kelce returned to the home of the Eagles for WrestleMania after retiring from the NFL in March

Kelce and Johnson appeared out of the stands in luchador masks during Rey Mysterio and Andrade’s match against Santo Eskobar and Rey’s son Dominik. With their identities hidden, Johnson grabbed a steal chair away from Dominik before Kelce threw him towards the ring post and back into the squared circle.

From there, Rey executed his ‘619’ finisher and pinned Eskobar for the win. Johnson and Kelce then took off their masks as the Philadelphia crowd erupted upon seeing them back in the home of the Eagles.

In March, Kelce announced his retirement after 13 seasons in the NFL, all of which were in Philadelphia. On the other hand, Johnson was drafted by the Eagles in 2013 and is entering his 12th season in the league.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce opted for some one-on-one time Friday night instead of joining the star-studded festivities taking place at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in Indio, Calif.

In photos obtained by Page Six, the pop superstar, 34, and Kansas City Chiefs tight end, also 34, were spotted entering hotspot Sushi Park in Los Angeles together to grab a meal.

Swift wore a black top, denim skirt, sneakers and red bomber jacket for the outing. She paired the casual look with a tan handbag and her signature red lip.

An insider told Us Weekly earlier this month that aside from wanting to see the “Summertime Sadness” songstress, the pair also wanted to check out Jack Antonoff’s band, Bleachers.

Once they do arrive, the billionaire songstress and her beau will reportedly stay at a luxe members-only resort called the Madison Club in La Quinta, Calif., which boasts a world-class golf course.
