Among those cheering at Lincoln Financial Field were Jason Kelce, a former Eagles player and current ESPN analyst, alongside his wife, Kylie Kelce. While Kylie celebrated the team’s historic success, fans recognized the potential family conflict that awaited.

Meanwhile, Jason’s brother, Travis Kelce, a tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, was vying for his own Super Bowl spot during the AFC Championship against the Buffalo Bills.
The Chiefs secured a tight 32-29 victory over the Bills, paving the way for a Super Bowl matchup between the Eagles and Chiefs, which could create a division within the Kelce family.
“I want to cheer for the Eagles, but supporting my brother is also important. I’m not sure how many more games he has,” Jason Kelce shared on They Call It Late Night, highlighting his internal conflict. Eventually, he chose to root for his former team in Philadelphia.
Pregnant with their fourth child, Kylie Kelce has openly expressed her loyalty to the Eagles. Even before her marriage to Jason, she was a dedicated Eagles fan, and it’s assumed that her support will not waver, even against her brother-in-law’s Chiefs.
As the potential Chiefs-Eagles Super Bowl clash approached, social media users chimed in about the family dynamics.
“If the Super Bowl turns out to be Chiefs vs Eagles, how will Kylie Kelce cope with that?” a Twitter user mused.
Another remarked: “That lady truly loves her team; she’ll be steadfast and unyielding.”
“I’m hoping for a Chiefs victory just to see Kylie Kelce cheer for the Eagles while everyone else supports the Chiefs,” one more noted.
