Jason Kelce has revealed just how much his brother, Travis Kelce, has changed since dating Taylor Swift, calling the transformation "staggering."
On Tuesday’s episode of the Fitz & Whit podcast, the former Eagles center opened up about his younger brother’s evolution over the past two years. Speaking with ex-NFL stars Ryan Fitzpatrick and Andrew Whitworth, Jason admitted he’s seen noticeable growth in Travis since he began his relationship with the pop superstar.
"It's been staggering, honestly," Jason said.
The elder Kelce reflected on how Travis used to embrace a carefree lifestyle, likening him to "Peter Pan and the Lost Boys." But in recent years, Jason has noticed a shift.
"It's changing," he said. "I think sometimes you get people in your life that maybe get that out of you. And that's a good thing."
Fitzpatrick, who had spent time with Travis prior to his relationship with Swift, sparked the discussion by recalling a visit to the Chiefs star’s home. According to Fitzpatrick, Travis’ living situation back then was surprisingly bare—so much so that "I don't think he had any couches."
Jason acknowledged that while his brother has matured in many ways, he’s still the same fun-loving guy at heart. "He’s still got that youthful enthusiasm," Jason assured.
Travis Kelce, now a three-time Super Bowl champion, has been under immense public scrutiny since his high-profile relationship with Swift began. The pop icon has been a frequent presence at Chiefs games, drawing attention from both the NFL and Swift’s vast fanbase.
Despite the added spotlight, Travis has embraced the moment, and according to Jason, the relationship has had a positive impact on his personal growth.
Now, as the 35-year-old tight end contemplates his future, the question remains—will he return to the field for another season, or will he walk away from football at the height of his career?
Following the Chiefs’ Super Bowl victory over the San Francisco 49ers on Feb. 9, Travis hinted at the possibility of retirement. With three championship rings, a Hall of Fame-worthy career, and now a high-profile relationship, some wonder if he will decide to step away while at the top of his game.
Regardless of his decision, one thing is clear—Travis Kelce is evolving, and Taylor Swift’s presence in his life has played a major role in that transformation.
