Travis and Jason Kelce Share Embrace Following Chiefs' Monday Night Football Loss - Their Statements
Travis and Jason Kelce share a heartfelt moment following Chiefs' Monday Night Football defeat, displaying their strong bond and support for each other
After the Kansas City Chiefs lost to the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday, November 20, Travis Kelce embraced his older brother Jason Kelce. In a video posted on the NFL social media pages, the 34-year-old Travis told his 36-year-old brother, "Late birthday present for you. Love you, big guy."
The Eagles triumphed over the Chiefs 21-17 at Arrowhead Stadium in Missouri during Monday Night Football. This was the first time that Travis and Jason faced off on the football field since their encounter at Super Bowl LVII earlier in the year, when the Chiefs emerged victorious with a score of 38-35. As they embraced, Travis joked with his brother, marking the win as a birthday present for Jason, who had celebrated his birthday on November 5th.
While Donna Kelce, the mother of Jason and Travis, was in the stands to watch her sons play, fans noticed that Taylor Swift was not present at the game. The singer, who is in a relationship with Travis, was in Brazil as part of her Eras Tour's South American leg.

Initially, Swift, 33, was set to attend the game with her parents, Scott and Andrea Swift, a source exclusively told We earlier this month.
Taylor and Travis have introduced their parents to each other, indicating that their relationship is becoming very serious," said the source. "Both Taylor and Travis have strong connections with their parents, so it's crucial that their families get along well."
At the time, Swift was attempting to attend the game but was compelled to postpone her Saturday, November 18 concert due to extreme temperatures, rescheduling it for Monday night.
"She considers it a top priority to be present when their parents meet," the source told Us. Travis initially became interested in Swift after attending her Eras Tour in July, and their relationship began to intensify in September. Since then, Swift has been seen showing support for Travis at several NFL games.
While Travis' partner wasn't present at the Chiefs and Eagles game, Jason's wife Kylie Kelce was in attendance. However, she did not sit with her mother-in-law, who was seated in Travis' suite.
"I'll be in the stands tomorrow. I'm a fan of being among the crowd," said 31-year-old Kylie in an interview with a local Kansas City outlet on Sunday, November 19. "I enjoy sitting in the stands, cheering along with other fans, even if it's in the opposing team's stadium."
Kylie playfully mentioned that Travis' suite can get too crowded at times, and she added that being in the spotlight isn't exactly her preference.
"Travis has a great turnout at his games, which is fantastic because everyone loves to show their support. However, it does make for a crowded environment," she explained. "It's enjoyable to cheer without feeling like everyone in the room is rooting against you."
