As Travis Kelce prepares for one of the most significant moments of his life – his wedding to Taylor Swift – his older brother Jason Kelce has made clear that he hopes to play a central role.
The former Philadelphia Eagles center admitted that serving as his brother’s best man is far from guaranteed, given Travis‘ wide circle of friends and colleagues.
The Kansas City Chiefs star confirmed his engagement to the Grammy-winning artist on August 26, ending months of speculation about their future together, which has been one of the most closely followed stories in both sports and entertainment.
Now, the attention has shifted to the details of their upcoming wedding, including who Travis will select as his best man and during his appearance on the Bussin’ With the Boys podcast,, Jason addressed the issue directly.
“Hopefully I’m the best man,” Jason said. “We’ll see. Trav has a lot of friends. I’m just hoping to get the opportunity.”
Beyond the ceremonial responsibilities, Jason also spoke about Swift‘s presence in the Kelce family and how her relationship with Travis has been viewed internally.
He highlighted the strong bond the couple share, particularly the way Swift has described Travis in private.
“You’re listening to somebody describe your brother,” Jason added. “But you’re hearing how she fully understands why Travis is an incredible human being.
“And like the human exclamation point was like the best way I’ve ever heard Travis described in my life. I think it’s like such an accurate statement.”
This perspective underscores the impression Swift has made not just on fans, but also on those closest to Travis and for Jason, who famously lined up against his brother in the 2022 Super Bowl, seeing his sibling enter this new chapter carries a personal resonance.
How did Jason Kelce react to Travis’ proposal to Taylor Swift?
As the Kelce-Swift wedding approaches, it will remain a focal point of both NFL coverage and the entertainment world and for Jason, the hope is that he will not only watch his brother take vows but also stand by his side when it happens.
But how did he react when the news was actually broken by his brother and the pop megastar?
“Gigantic piece of ‘New News’ that just hit the waves,” Jason said. “We did record this podcast on Monday, which was Travis‘ one day off.
“So, he is not here to address this himself, but we felt it necessary as a team here at New Heights to get together and send Travis and Taylor a giant congratulations for being engaged!
“The proposal heard ’round the world.”
Now for Jason, the challenge is straightforward yet deeply personal: securing his place as best man amid a list of possible contenders that could include teammates like Patrick Mahomes or even long-time head coach Andy Reid.
Whether or not he is chosen, Jason’s public comments highlight the strong bond between the brothers and the significance of Swift’s addition to their family.
