Kylie Kelce, the wife of retired former Philadelphia Eagles All-Pro center Jason Kelce, joked that she's "slightly offended" that fans believe her daughter is a carbon copy of her brother-in-law, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, during the latest episode of her Not Gonna Lie podcast.
Kylie went viral when she announced her pregnancy, sharing a photo of her three daughters wearing "big sister" sweaters. The pregnant mom acknowledged that one TikToker specifically noted how much her children resembled her husband, while others claimed the kids, specifically 3-year-old Elliotte, looked more like her brother-in-law.
“The internet has run away with the fact that she looks like Travis, which I am slightly offended by,” Kylie joked.
Kylie did, however, admit that her other daughters, Wyatt, 5, and Bennett, 1, appear to share more of their father's family genes.
“We are so lucky that my husband makes cute girls," Kylie said. "When you look at Wyatt’s baby pictures and Jason’s baby pictures side-by-side, it looks like we have cloned him.”
“If we could hop off the whole ‘Ellie looks like Travis’ train, that would be greatly appreciated because that’s the only one I have any chance of having any claim to when it comes to looking alike,” she added.
Jason Kelce was officially announced to join ESPN in May, two months after announcing his retirement from football.
“I did my due diligence, you want to make sure you’re really looking at things, talking to people that are knowledgeable in the industry — neither one of us have ever done something like this. Throughout the whole process, meeting and talking to everyone over at ESPN, it became apparent that it was really the right fit and at the end of the day, something that I’m really, really looking forward to this next phase,” Jason said during an episode of New Heights earlier this year.
Kelce is one of the most celebrated players in Eagles history, starting at center in all 193 games of his 13-year NFL career, including the franchise's lone Super Bowl victory in Super Bowl LII, while being selected as a first-team All-Pro six times (2017-19, 2021-23) and Pro Bowler seven times (2014, 2016, 2019-23).
