Jason Kelce<\/strong><\/a> admits he has seen some \u201cstaggering\u201d changes in his brother, Travis Kelce<\/strong><\/a>, since he started his romance with Taylor Swift<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n The retired NFL star, 37, spoke to cohost and fellow former football player, Ryan Fitzpatrick<\/strong>, about Travis\u2019 growth over the years during an appearance on the \u201cFitz & Whit\u201d podcast<\/a> on Tuesday, February 18, noting how his former bachelor pad included a basketball hoop and pool table in his living room.<\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t think he had any couches,\u201d Ryan recalled. Jason said that his brother\u2019s transformation has been incredible over the past three years and compared Travis, 35, to the fictional character Peter Pan.<\/p>\n \u201cOne of the things I love so much about Travis is that he never grew up,\u201d Jason explained. However, he confirmed he felt his younger brother was \u201cgrowing up now.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s changing,\u201d he said. \u201cI think sometimes you get people in your life that maybe get that out of you and that\u2019s a good thing,\u201d seemingly alluding to his 14-time Grammy winner girlfriend.<\/p>\n Although Travis was \u201cgrowing up,\u201d Jason said his brother still held on to his \u201cyouthful enthusiasm.\u201d He continued, \u201cI think he\u2019ll always have that. It\u2019s just part of his personality. \u2026 Anyone that\u2019s ever met Trav, you can\u2019t but just love the guy. He\u2019s a free spirit in the best possible way.\u201d<\/p>\n Travis and Taylor, 35, debuted their romance in September 2023, after the \u201cYou Belong With Me\u201d songstress attended a Chiefs vs. Chicago Bears game in Kansas City. Since then, she\u2019s cheered on her boyfriend at two Super Bowls<\/a>, including their loss earlier this month against the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LIX.<\/p>\n \u201cTaylor is supporting Travis during this difficult time and it\u2019s just trying to be there for him as much as possible,\u201d a source told Us Weekly<\/em> in an interview published on February 11. \u201cThe game obviously did not go as planned.\u201d<\/p>\n Although Travis didn\u2019t succeed in his latest Super Bowl attempt, he has been widely successful off the field, particularly in his relationship with Taylor. Prior to the game, an insider exclusively told Life & Style<\/em> that their inner circle expects them to get engaged sooner rather than later.<\/p>\n \u201cEveryone in Travis and Taylor\u2019s world assumes an engagement is coming,\u201d the source revealed in a story published on February 6. \u201cIn fact, a lot of people find it pretty extraordinary that it hasn\u2019t happened already.\u201d<\/p>\n The insider added that Travis has been \u201cso open about Taylor being The One\u201d and there\u2019s no question that he \u201cwants to spend the rest of his life with her and vice versa.\u201d<\/p>\n When it comes to when he\u2019ll finally pop the question, the source said that Travis \u201cwants to knock it out of the park.\u201d<\/p>\n With a possible engagement<\/a> on the horizon, many fans are also curious about the future of Travis\u2019 football career<\/a>. While he hasn\u2019t confirmed his plans for the upcoming season, the Ohio native previously praised Taylor for her support of his career.<\/p>\n \u201cShe\u2019s fully encouraging me to enjoy playing this game,\u201d he said about his girlfriend while appearing on the Stephen A. Smith Show<\/em> on January 15. \u201cShe loves coming to Arrowhead [Stadium] and coming to the games and cheering for me so I got all the support in the world to keep chasing these dreams.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
