Singer-songwriter, Taylor Swift is set to make her podcast debut as a guest on the New Heights podcast with her boyfriend, Travis Kelce and his brother-retired NFL player, Jason Kelce. Swifties are awaiting the release of the new episode that will not only mark the official announcement for Taylor’s new album, but will also give fans a peek into the superstar’s relationship with Travis and Jason’s welcoming yet sometimes teasing big brother approach.
While fans know all about Travis, details about Jason have always been shadowed by his fun personality. If you are keen to know more about him, here is everything about his childhood, career and personal life.
Jason Kelce had an illustrious NFL career
Before Jason became one of the NFL’s most beloved personalities and a key part of the ‘Traylor’ love story, he was a simple kid who grew up in Cleveland Heights, Ohio. Jason was born on November 5, 1987, and he is 23 months older than Travis Kelce. Despite being the elder one, the two brothers were more like companions for each other, and their childhood was full of backyard football, broken windows, and sibling tussles. Both boys were so naughty that they even got kicked out of preschool. Sharing the reason behind his expulsion, Jason said in this podcast:
“For some reason, we (he and another student) were stabbing each other with sporks, and I hit him hard enough right in the forehead. I just remember the next day his dad had him under his arm, and he had four little spork dots.”
Sports were a big part of Jason and Travis’s childhood. The former used to play football, baseball, and hockey before making his way into the University of Cincinnati football team. He started his career as a linebacker but switched to the offensive line, which was crucial to his rise in the NFL. Jason was drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles in 2011, and he quickly became one of the league’s top players. He played for 13 seasons, made two Super Bowl appearances, and was a part of the championship victory in 2018.
Jason Kelce met the love of his life via Tinder
Jason’s life off the field has been equally exciting as his professional achievements. In 2015, he met his now wife, Kylie, on Tinder, where she boldly sent the first message. Their first date didn’t exactly go smoothly as Jason fell asleep at the bar after an Eagles holiday party. Fortunately, Kylie gave him another chance, and the rest is history. They tied the knot in April 2018, just months after Jason’s Super Bowl win, and have welcomed four daughters: Wyatt, Elliotte, Bennett, and Finnley. His brother, Travis, once opened up about Jason’s daughters to People and said:
“Those girls warm my heart. Jason and Kylie are just unbelievable parents. Kylie and Jason are just unbelievable parents, great people first off, just unbelievable parents.”
Jason Kelce’s bond with Travis Kelce and his girlfriend, Taylor Swift
Jason Kelce and Travis Kelce’s warm relationship is not hidden from the media and fans. Their fun bond is the backbone of their podcast, New Heights. Jason was the reason for Travis to join the University of Cincinnati, and his decision to pick number 87 on his jersey represents his brother’s birth year. They launched the podcast in 2022, using it to share football stories, roast each other, and connect with fans. Over time, it also became a place where Travis opened up about his growing romance with Taylor Swift. Its listeners got the early hints about him attending her Eras Tour and the iconic ‘friendship bracelet’ admission, which eventually turned into a fairytale love story between the duo.
The new episode of New Heights podcast featuring Jason Kelce, Travis Kelce and his girlfriend, Taylor Swift would released on Wednesday, August 13, 2025 at 7 p.m. ET.
