Watch Exclusively Jason and Travis Kelce Mania! From Football to Family, Inside the Brothers’ ‘Unusual’ World
On Monday night, as Philadelphia Eagles fans watched the seconds tick down on their team’s season — and tears welling in star center Jason Kelce’s eyes, signaling an apparent decision to hang up his cleats — it was hard not to sense the end of an era.
“Thirteen seasons. Seven-time Pro Bowler. Six-time All-Pro. One Super Bowl. One No. 1 podcast. And one Sexiest Man Alive title,” ESPN analyst Pat McAfee said the following day on his show, ticking off Jason’s career accomplishments. “Hell of a run….”
But for the Brothers Kelce, “the run” seems nowhere near done, even if Jason has played his last down in the NFL.
If last February’s Super Bowl LVII, in which Travis’ Kansas City Chiefs defeated Jason’s Eagles, touched off the dizzying hype of Kelce Mania, the ensuing months — crammed with their chart-topping New Heights podcast, the record-breaking Amazon Prime documentary Kelce, a slew of endorsements and Travis’ high-profile relationship with Taylor Swift (which helped boost the NFL’s female viewership by more than 2 million) — have only supercharged the fascination.
“It’s been really surreal and a fun ride to be on,” their mother Donna Kelce, 71, tells PEOPLE of her unique vantage of the phenomenon.
“Being able to be with my kids — the experiences, the places, enjoying people I’ve never met before. And I’m very happy they get to enjoy the fruits of their labor, because it’s [been] a tough ride to get where they are now.”
The secret to the Kelces’ success is their easy charm and undeniable authenticity (and their unfailing willingness to goof on each other about what their own personal scented candle would smell like) — and father Ed Kelce, 72, says that effortless brotherly banter is nothing new.
“I’ve been listening to the shtick between these [two] since they were toddlers,” he told PEOPLE last October. “The way they interact on the podcast, that’s the way they’ve always been. And that’s always been fun to watch.”
Jason and Travis grew up Cleveland Heights, Ohio, playing every sport they could and making their fair amount of well-intentioned mischief, like the time a bocce ball found its way through the family car’s windshield. (“Those kinds of things happened constantly when they were growing up,” admits Donna.) But they learned fierce commitment to each other through their parents’ commitment to them.
“My brother didn’t have any children, and my husband’s sister didn’t have any,” explains Donna. “[Jason and Travis] used to yell at me because they didn’t have any cousins to play with on Christmas. We were tight-knit, always trying to help each other as much as we could.”
As Travis told PEOPLE last April of what he learned from his parents, who remained together for the sake of their kids until Travis left to join Jason at the University of Cincinnati: “My entire upbringing [was about learning] to fuel people. . . . I was always taught to be a fountain, not a drain, [to] provide something instead of [taking].”
These days, both Jason and Travis find themselves with plenty to offer — and plenty to devote to second acts whenever the time comes, from their growing media empire to investments in everything from F1 Racing (Travis) to a Missouri cattle farm (Jason).
Recently, Travis’s management team revealed to The New York Times their vision to make the nine-time Pro Bowl tight end as “famous as the Rock,” referencing Dwayne Johnson’s transition from WWE star to A-list actor.
“He really enjoyed Saturday Night Live,” a source tells PEOPLE of Travis’s March 2023 hosting stint. “He had a blast. After he retires, he wants to lean into acting and hosting.”
For now, Travis will continue to hone his charisma on the New Heights podcast, opposite Jason, his worthiest foil. “They’re just as competitive as adults today, always jabbing at each other [about] who’s the best,” says Donna, laughing. “It doesn’t stop. They’re each other’s biggest fan.”

Olympic Integrity in Question: Simone Biles’ Honors Under Fire Amid Age Fraud Allegations
In a shocking turn of events, the Olympic community is reeling as allegations of age fraud surface against American gymnast Simone Biles. The 25-year-old gymnastics superstar, widely regarded as one of the greatest of all time, is facing mounting pressure as many call for her honors to be stripped.
According to sources, an investigation has been launched into Biles’ age, with some claiming she may have falsified her birth certificate to compete in younger age groups earlier in her career. If true, this would be a violation of Olympic rules and could result in Biles being stripped of her medals and titles.
Biles has yet to comment on the allegations, but her team has released a statement denying any wrongdoing. “Simone has always been transparent about her age and has never attempted to deceive anyone,” the statement read.
As the investigation continues, the Olympic community is holding its breath. If Biles is found guilty, it would be a devastating blow to the sport and could have far-reaching consequences.
Stay tuned for further updates on this developing story.

Breaking News: Angelina Jolie’s son Pax finally released from ICU but faces ‘long’ recovery after suffering…See more
As for Pax’s estranged father Brad, a rep for the 60-year-old actor declined to comment when asked by DailyMail.com if he planned to visit his son in hospital.
It comes following claims that the actress is reportedly seeking help for her ‘troubled’ son.
Angelina has been by Pax’s side at the hospital since he crashed into a car during rush hour in the Los Feliz area of Los Angeles on Monday, July 29.
He was not wearing a helmet at the time of the accident.
A source told TMZ on Tuesday that witnesses who lived nearby initially believed Pax had died in the crash as they discovered him lying lifeless on the ground.
It was not until paramedics arrived at the scene that Pax regained consciousness.
Page Six is reporting that this was not the first time the young man has been involved in incidents involving two and four wheeled vehicles.
‘His friends are concerned about him,’ an insider told the outlet alleging, ‘He’s being reckless. They’re worried.’

Breaking News: Carmelo Anthony Blasts Adam Silver’s NBA for Ignoring Charles Barkley and TNT Crew in $76 Billion Deal Decision…See more
“I would be upset too if I was Charles Barkley.” Carmelo Anthony is now a part of the ownership group at Unrivaled, so his criticism is from that point of view. The deal with TNT to continue the rights took a long time, and in the meantime, every employee of the network was not happy. One of which was arguably the face of the show and the face of the network, Charles Barkley.
Melo even questioned WBD executives for not addressing the talents, “But I blame I honestly blame the higher-ups for that man, the execs and all of that. We can’t be here with you all of this time, creating this and building this property, and then we ain’t being told what’s actually happening here. And like, we don’t have a shot, like we don’t have a shot to keep this going after umpteen years.”
Charles Barkley, Shaquille O’Neal, Kenny Smith, and Ernie Johnson have been entertaining fans with the Inside show for years now. The Emmy-winning show is a testament to how different it is than its current competitors. Even Barkley had commented on the failure of Adam Silver
“Clearly the NBA has wanted to break up with us from the beginning,” Charles Barkley said in the statement. He continued that he wasn’t sure if TNT ever had a fair chance because even if they matched the money, the league would prefer their latest partners in order to secure their future. What Barkley meant by it was that when the next deal came around, they would be in a better position to negotiate. Currently, WBD has a debt of $40 billion.
He even criticized Adam Silver for disrespecting fans. “It’s a sad day when owners and commissioners choose money over the fans. It just sucks.” Charles Barkley lastly thanked his Turner family for the last 24 years and promised fans that in the last season of NBA on TNT, the crew would give it all.
