While chatting with the sportscaster Charissa Thompson on the Thursday, December 19 episode of her podcast, “I’m not going to lie with Kylie Kelce,” Jason’s wife Kylie he poked holes in the story Travis had previously told.
Travis, 35, of the Kansas City Chiefs, claimed the reason he wears No. 87 on his jersey is honor your brother Jason who was born in 1987.
Thompson, 42, recalled the moment Travis made the revelation in an NFL Films interview she was a part of.
Jason Kelce and Travis Kelce have an enviable sibling bond filled with support, laughter, and of course, football. As the brothers found success in the NFL, they shared insights into their relationship off the field. Their family even served as inspiration for Travis’ Saturday Night Live monologue, which he hosted for the first time (…)
“That’s when Travis told me he was wearing 87 because of Jason… that’s the year he was born,” Thompson said before Kylie interjected.
“Jason is still calling the bull,” Kylie, 32, said. “Jason is still calling bull about that revelation. He’s like, ‘No, you got ’87,’ and he’s like, ‘Uh, how can I remember that? It is the year my brother was born.’
Whether the story is true or not, Thompson acknowledged, “Well, it’s a sweet sentiment. It’s a nice story.”
Kylie agreed, replying: “It was so sweet.”

“I love being a fan. Being able to cheer and just watch good football. I can’t wait to watch it,” Jason told NFL Network’s Cameron Wolfe at that time. “Whenever you watch your loved one compete, you feel very proud. That’s completely different than competing (on) your own.”
Jason added: “Of course, my brother and I love each other very much. We cherish these moments because we know they will eventually be gone.”
Meanwhile, Travis mugs his older brother during his guest appearance monologue Saturday Night Live in February 2023.
“Jason and I actually played football together since we were kids and he was always better than me — at everything,” Travis said of Jason, before joking, “He was an honor student in high school and I got kicked. team because I failed French. And then when we were in college, I actually got kicked off the team because I tested positive for marijuana.”
