Kylie Kelce, the wife of former Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce, revealed when she and her husband found out that his brother, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, was dating pop superstar Taylor Swift during an appearance on the Call Her Daddy podcast this week.
"I will say we knew before everyone else knew," Kylie said, confirming that she and Jason were aware of the relationship prior to Swift's first appearance at Travis' game at Arrowhead Stadium on September 24, 2023, but clarified, "It did not hit the group chat."
"Jason and I found out together. But, we knew before, like, they hard launched with her going to a game," she added.
Kylie said she and Swift bonded over having both grown up in Eastern Pennsylvania.
"We grew up going to the same shore points. So, her family was like Sea Isle, Stone Harbor. And that's, like, the exact areas that I grew up going to. I've gone to Sea Isle City my whole life," she said.
The Not Gonna Lie podcast host also addressed speculation on why she and Swift hadn't met prior to both attending Travis' January 21, 2024 AFC Divisional Round playoff game against the Buffalo Bills.
"People are deeply disturbed by this... There was like all of this stuff leading up to it about, 'Well, why haven't they met?' 'They're avoiding each other,' " Kylie said, adding, "I'm not avoiding anyone. I'm more than happy to meet someone, especially someone that Travis is dating."
"But it was funny to me because I kept saying to people, 'I didn't meet Travis for probably close to a year when Jason and I were dating,' " she added.
"And she's busy," Kylie joked, seemingly referencing Swift's historic 'Eras Tour' schedule that concluded late last year.
"It's just so silly to me that that's the storyline that's written," she added.
Kylie also revealed that she and Jason went on a double date with Taylor and Travis, but admitted she couldn't eat Swift's home-cooked meal because she was eight weeks pregnant with her fourth daughter.
“I don’t know that I really ate the meal,” Kylie said. "I didn't really eat the meal because I was eight weeks pregnant."
Travis famously revealed that he attempted to give Taylor a friendship bracelet with his phone number when he attended her concert at Arrowhead Stadium prior to their relationship in 2023. Swift later said that the three-time Super Bowl champion "very adorably put me on blast" when he acknowledged the situation on his podcast, which she said "was metal as hell" while being featured as Time Magazine's 'Person of the Year' in December 2023.
