Jason Kelce doesn’t think his brother, Travis Kelce, can be a “normal person” anymore given the attention the Kansas City Chiefs tight end’s romance with Taylor Swift has gotten.
The former Philadelphia Eagles center, 36, said on Andrew Santino’s “Whiskey Ginger” podcast Friday that he thought life had gotten “crazy” for him and his wife, Kylie Kelce, before but “Travis and Taylor have taken it to another level.”
“Kylie and I think we have it bad and then we go hang out with one of them for a second,” he further explained. “This is a whole other situation here. … Like, you can’t be a normal person at that point.”
Jason Kelce said his brother, Travis Kelce, can’t be a “normal person” anymore amid his relationship with Taylor Swift.
“I don’t even know how to, like, you can’t be a normal person at that point,” he added.
Jason’s comments on the downside of the spotlight come after he and Kylie, 32, made headlines in May when an angry and drunk fan started harassing them for not taking a picture with her.
In a video of the debacle, the woman could be seen aggressively yelling at the pair as Kylie told her off.
“I can smell the alcohol on your breath,” the mom of three told the fan. “You’re embarrassing yourself!”
The woman — identified as Andreé Goldberg — later apologized for her “out of character” behavior.
Jason’s comments come after he and Kylie were harassed by a fan last month after they declined to take a photo with her.
Kylie didn’t take any nonsense, though, telling the fan at the time that she was making a fool out of herself.
Jason also mentioned on the “Whiskey Ginger” podcast that while everyone is “evolving” because of the changing circumstances, Travis, 34, has not let fame affect who he is at his core.
“I haven’t seen him change one bit,” the “New Heights” podcast co-host reflected. “He stayed true to himself. He’s still humble. He treats everyone with the utmost respect.”

“He’s still humble. He treats everyone with the utmost respect,” Jason said.
Travis explained during his appearance on “Good Morning America” this week that he’s able to remain “grounded” because he has the right people in his life.
“When you have good family and friends around you, it makes that aspect of life that much easier,” he noted. “I’ve always been a very grounded guy.”
The Super Bowl champ added, “It might not come off like that when I’m playing football, but off the field, I just want to be a genuine person.”
Travis began dating Swift, also 34, last July. They confirmed their romance when the “Shake It Off” singer cheered Travis on at a September 2023 game at Arrowhead Stadium.
Travis and Swift have been together for nearly a year
Swifties are widely supportive of their relationship and have found a soft spot for Jason, too.
Even though Travis was well-known in the realm of professional athletics, his notoriety really took off after he and Swift demonstrated their serious relationship.
Even Travis’ mother claimed her youngest son had “embraced” his celebrity when they first started dating.
In November 2023, Donna Kelce stated, “I believe the focus is only a small portion of the whole situation. I have no issues with that as long as he can manage it.
