Jason Kelce Reveals Why His Daughter Wyatt Cheers for Uncle Travis Kelce’s Team Instead of His

Jason Kelce has never shied away from competition on the football field—but at home, there’s one rivalry he admits he’s already lost.

The former Philadelphia Eagles center recently shared the amusing and surprisingly heartfelt reasons why his oldest daughter, Wyatt, often finds herself rooting for her uncle Travis Kelce’s team instead of her own dad’s.

According to Jason, the explanation has far less to do with football strategy and far more to do with personality, accessibility, and the unique bond Wyatt shares with her fun-loving uncle.

Jason explained that Travis has always leaned into his role as “Uncle Trav.” From animated celebrations to playful interactions, Travis brings an energy that naturally connects with kids. Wyatt, like many children, is drawn to that excitement—something Jason jokes he can’t always compete with after long, exhausting seasons.

There’s also the simple reality of timing. Wyatt has grown up watching Travis during some of the most visible and exciting moments of his career. Big games, national attention, and highlight-worthy plays have made Travis’s team feel larger than life to a young fan.

Jason, meanwhile, played a position that—while crucial—rarely shows up on highlight reels. He’s joked that it’s hard to impress a child when your job involves blocking in the trenches rather than scoring touchdowns.

But Jason is quick to say there’s no resentment—only pride.

He’s spoken warmly about how much he values the close relationship between Wyatt and her uncle. For Jason, seeing his daughter feel connected to family through football matters more than which jersey she wears on game day.

In fact, he says those moments remind him that football was always meant to be something shared—not a competition that follows players home.

The Kelce family’s dynamic has become part of what fans love most about them: competitive but supportive, playful but deeply loyal. And for Jason, Wyatt’s choice to cheer for Uncle Travis isn’t a loss—it’s another reminder that family comes first, even in a house divided by team colors.

As Jason put it, there will always be time for rivalry on the field. At home, the win is watching his daughter enjoy the game, surrounded by people she loves.

And if that means cheering a little louder for Uncle Travis? Jason Kelce says he can live with that.
