Kylie Kelce says her children have already started learning how to identify their uncle Travis Kelce when he plays on television.
While their father, Jason, is currently a fixture on NFL Sundays for the Philadelphia Eagles, Travis is receiving more media attention than ever. That means Travis' nieces can see him on TV much more often.
“We like to watch the TV when Jason takes his helmet off, or Uncle Trav takes his helmet off,” Kylie said. People magazine.
“Those are the moments when I can really suck them into a game because they don't look like everyone else on the field. When the helmets are off, they can say, “Oh, that's definitely Dad.”'
While four-year-old Wyatt, two-year-old Elliotte and eight-month-old Bennett have gotten good at recognizing Jason, Kylie says they've gotten just as good at recognizing Travis.
Kylie Kelce says that her daughters are starting to appreciate football more and more
When they watch the Chiefs, the three children can recognize their “Uncle Trav.”
As excited as Wyatt and sisters Bennett, 8 months, and Elliotte, 2, are to spot dad, Wyatt is having just as much fun rooting for the Kansas City Chiefs tight end.
“Every time they see red teams on TV, they say, 'Are we cheering for the red team?' Because we usually watch Uncle Trav.”
All three have become better at understanding the game that their father and uncle earned a living from.
“You can see how they pick up those little hints and cues and learn how to watch football,” she says.
“But I would say that when it comes to watching the actual game, our middle Elliotte – actually it's the strangest thing – will cheer at the right moments, almost seeming like she understands the game.”
Kylie told People earlier this year — just before the Kelce brothers faced off in the Super Bowl — that Travis is the “absolute best” uncle of the three girls.
“It's really funny, Jason said in an interview that he thinks (the girls) might like him more than Jason,” Kylie joked.
“I tell everyone, he comes to our house to visit and the poor man doesn't sit on the couch because our daughters will say, 'No, no, you sit on the floor. We're going to do a puzzle. We're going to build blocks. We're going to do this, we're going to do that,” she added.

'Our eldest, she is our boss. She's our ring leader, and she has question after question for him. And I'm like, 'Trav, you know you can tell Wyatt no?'
“He said, 'Yeah, I don't think I can do that.' And so he will do it,” she shared.
“She'll say, 'Jump up and down.' He will do it. “Roll on the floor,” he will do it. “Be the pony.” He will do it. So he's all in when it comes to being an uncle. He is the epitome of an uncle, through and through.”
