Jason Kelce and Travis Kelce have consistently been there for one another, providing moral support as brothers. Their mother, Donna Kelce, lets the world in on their bond by declaring that the two NFL athletes are each other's top fan despite a long history of competitive rivalry.

During a Tuesday, January 16 conversation with People, Donna, who's 71, delved into the competitive relationship between Travis, age 34, and Jason, age 36, highlighting that it goes beyond football. She mentions that the brothers have even competed in "dodgeball and golf” as well as other childhood contests such as trying to be the first one at the table or the first to get in the car.

She stated, “The list kept extending,”

Even in their current lives, Jason and Travis continue to exhibit their competitive edge, she went further to explain. “The siblings never tire of teasing each other, constantly seeking to establish who's superior.”

Despite their rivalry, the brothers are always there to support one another.

Donna said about their close-knit family dynamic comprising her ex-spouse, Ed Kelce, Jason, his wife Kylie Kelce, and their three daughters, “We all secure and assist each other as much as possible.”

“The competition was won by Uncle Travvy” 🥹

Travis plays as a tight end for Kansas City Chiefs while Jason is a center for the Philadelphia Eagles. These roles have led them to the same football field several times, playing against one another. One memorable instance was during the 2023 Super Bowl LVII. Although the Chiefs won, Jason did not hide his pride in his brother's achievement. Jason was seen tearfully congratulating Travis and hugging him after the match.

Travis returned the sentiment by saying to Jason, “I cherish you, my man,” to which Jason reciprocated, “I also love you. Great work. Time to celebrate.”

In a conversation with his four-year-old daughter Wyatt, Jason discussed the Super Bowl. This conversation is part of the Amazon Prime documentary, Kelce, launched in September 2023. They talked about Wyatt's displeasure at "Uncle Travvy's" victory, to which Jason reassured her, $@$It's okay. Uncle Travvy made it. We can be glad for Uncle Travvy.”

On November 20, 2023, the Eagles and Chiefs played each other again. This time around, the Eagles triumphed – their first win against the Chiefs since 2009. After the game, Jason and Travis met again to share a hug.

“That's your belated birthday gift,” Travis said to his brother while on the field, as recorded in an X-shared NFL video. “Man, I love you. Travel home safely.”
