Travis Kelce has recently opened up about how his family is handling the increased attention that comes with his high-profile relationship with pop icon Taylor Swift.
Kelce's family, including his parents Donna and Ed, and his older brother Jason, have all had to adjust to this new level of fame. In an interview with CBS Mornings, Travis shared, "It's the life I chose. I have fun with it. It comes with the territory."
Donna Kelce, affectionately known as "Mama Kelce," has become a beloved figure in her own right. From starring in Super Bowl commercials to co-hosting the 2024 Pillsbury Bake-Off, Donna is enjoying her time in the spotlight. "Everybody's loving it," Travis said. "Mama Kelce is having so much fun."
While Donna has taken to fame naturally, Ed Kelce is slowly getting more comfortable with the attention. Travis noted, "I think my dad is slowly getting more comfortable with it."
Jason Kelce, Travis's older brother, has always been adept at handling the public eye. After retiring from the Philadelphia Eagles in March, Jason transitioned to a new role as a commentator for ESPN's Monday Night Football. Reflecting on his brother's career, Travis said, "Jason has always been a pro at it."
Jason, who shares three young daughters with his wife Kylie, has found ways to balance his professional and personal life. "It's been crazy," Jason admitted on The Whiskey Ginger podcast. "Travis and Taylor have taken it to another level and that's a whole other side of it." The family's day-to-day life has undoubtedly been impacted by the media frenzy surrounding Travis and Taylor's relationship.
Amid this, Travis Kelce remains grounded. His brother Jason praised him for staying true to himself, saying, "He's humble. He treats everyone with the utmost respect, like they're equals, regardless of who they are."
Travis credits Taylor Swift for teaching him how to handle fame with grace. "The scrutiny she gets, how much she has a magnifying glass on her, every single day, paparazzi outside her house, outside every restaurant she goes to, after every flight she gets off, and she's just living, enjoying life," he told WSJ.
