Jason Kelce and his wife, Kylie, are no strangers to Kansas City Chiefs games. Over the years, they’ve been spotted at regular-season matchups, playoff clashes, and even a pair of Super Bowls in support of Jason’s brother, Travis Kelce. But despite the couple’s frequent appearances, their daughters have yet to take in the scene at Arrowhead Stadium.
Speaking to PEOPLE, Kylie said the timing just hasn’t worked out.
“The girls have not yet been to an Uncle Trav game just because a lot of opportunities that we’ve had to go and support Trav have been, even just last year, a lot of Monday nights,” she explained.
“I think two different Monday Night Football opportunities,” she added. “But as anyone knows, an 8:00 p.m. start is not conducive to a 5, 4, and 2-year-old. We’re not tagging in on that, so maybe we’ll get out there for a nice 1:00 p.m. Sunday with the girls.”

The Kelces share four daughters: Wyatt (5), Elliotte (4), Bennett (2), and newborn Finnley. For now, the older three’s bedtime routines have taken priority over late-night kickoffs.
“Sports build character” – Jason Kelce backs wife’s cause
Away from the NFL spotlight, Jason Kelce has been quick to champion Kylie’s push to keep young girls active in sports. She recently partnered with Dove for a campaign aimed at building confidence through athletics and attended a National Women’s Soccer League match between the Washington Spirit and Gotham FC to promote the initiative.
ESPNW shared a clip from the event, which Jason reposted with a simple message: “Sports build character, way to go Ky!”

Kylie’s commitment to the cause comes from experience. She played field hockey in high school and at the NCAA Division III level before moving into coaching at Lower Merion High School. Those years gave her firsthand insight into both the hurdles and rewards of staying involved in sports.
The Kelce daughters might not be in the stands just yet, but with parents who live and breathe athletics, their introduction to the sports world is only a matter of time.
