Travis Kelce’s win at the Kids’ Choice Awards seems inevitable, according to his brother Jason Kelce.
In the latest episode of their “New Heights” podcast, the retired Philadelphia Eagles player predicted his brother would win the favorite male sports star category, attributing it to Travis’ relationship with Taylor Swift.
“If it’s kids voting, you’re winning this by a landslide,” Jason joked.
He added that his own fan base has shifted due to his younger sibling’s romance with the pop superstar.
Jason explained that he used to be recognized by “fat, hairy guys” in public, but now he is approached by “14-year-old little girls.”

“That’s where my bread and butter’s at now,” he said. “12-to-14-year-old girls are like, ‘Oh my God, you’re Travis’ brother, dating Taylor Swift.’
“There’s no chance you’re not winning this award if it’s chosen by children,” the former NFL star continued. “Might as well give you the award right now.”
Travis, nominated alongside athletes like Patrick Mahomes and Cristiano Ronaldo, thanked Jason for his confidence.
“I’ll make sure I keep influencing the kids to do the right things in this world,” the tight end, 34, responded.
Swift, notably, is nominated for six awards herself this year. She and Travis have been publicly dating since September 2023.
Jason discussed the “crazy” level of fame the couple experiences during a recent interview on the “Whiskey Ginger” podcast with Andrew Santino, mentioning that they can’t be “normal” people.
“[My wife], Kylie [Kelce], and I think we have it bad, and then we spend a second with them,” he said. “This is a whole other situation here.”
Jason and Kylie made headlines last month when they declined a photo with a fan in New Jersey, resulting in a confrontation with the woman, identified as Andreé Goldberg.
Jason’s wife engaged with the “heated” stranger, noting she could smell “alcohol on [her] breath.”
Jason and Kylie have been married since April 2018 and are parents to three daughters: Wyatt, 4, Elliotte, 3, and Bennett, 1.
