Miles Teller may be a good friend of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, but there was no way the diehard Philadelphia Eagles fan was going to put his fandom to the side on Super Bowl Sunday.
The Top Gun: Maverick star and wife Keleigh Sperry Teller have become good friends of Swift and Kelce over the years.
However, when it comes to football, Teller is and always will be an Eagles fan, which is why he was fully behind his team at Super Bowl LIX on February 9.
“I think it was pretty clear in that situation as a diehard Eagles fan, I didn’t have mixed feelings about it,” Teller told E! News. “It didn’t matter who they were playing.
“My mom could’ve been on the field [instead of] the Chiefs and I would’ve been like, ‘Go Birds.'”
In the end Teller was the one celebrating, along with the rest of Eagles nation, as Philadelphia cruised to a dominant 40-22 victory in New Orleans.
Jason Kelce also had to pick a side for the Super Bowl
While Teller had no problems sticking with his allegiance to the Eagles at the Super Bowl, the decision wasn’t as clear for Jason Kelce and wife Kylie.
With brother Travis lining up for the Chiefs against the team he called home for 13 seasons, Jason talked about his mixed emotions regarding the game in a post on X.
“I knew it was going to be mixed emotions before, during, and after, and I now know what my parents had to deal with two years ago,” Jason wrote, referring to the 2023 Super Bowl when he and Travis faced one another.
“On one hand, I wanted what is best for my brother, and to see his success. And on the other hand, there are so many people, teammates, and coaches, in the Philadelphia Eagles organization that I care deeply about, many of whom I owe my own success to throughout my career.”
While Jason was happy to see Philadelphia come out on top, he also made it clear his brother wouldn’t want his pity after coming up short.
“There isn’t a person I love or care about more,” Jason added. “It has been tough to process these feelings, of course I feel for him and am always rooting for him, but I know he does not need, nor want my pity.
“He has amassed greatness few on this planet could ever dream of, as has his team, and they should feel pride in their accomplishments this season and in the past. Go Birds.”
