Jason Kelce recently opened up about his close bond with his brother, Travis Kelce, during the American Century Championship golf tournament held in Lake Tahoe, Nevada. The duo, who co-host the popular “New Heights” podcast, shared how the show has enhanced their relationship.
“Travis and I have been close for a long time,” Jason stated. Their podcast, launched in 2022, has fostered more communication between them than ever before. “We loved each other growing up. We still love each other,” he expressed, noting the shift in their relationship dynamics as they transitioned from siblings to peers. “Now, he’s my best friend on the planet.”
The Kelce brothers, along with their father Ed, participated in the annual celebrity golf tournament, where Jason praised Travis for being a supportive uncle to his four daughters. He emphasized the importance of sharing moments online while also maintaining some privacy about their family life.
As the NFL season approaches, Jason announced that the “New Heights” podcast would soon take a break for Travis to focus on the Kansas City Chiefs’ training camp. The third season is set to conclude on July 23, but fans can expect a few pre-recorded episodes with special guests during the hiatus.
Moreover, Jason has shown support for Travis’ ongoing relationship with pop superstar Taylor Swift, noting positive changes in his brother since they began dating. “It’s changing,” he remarked about Travis’ growth, humorously acknowledging that some people can bring out the best in others.
In addition to their podcast and family engagements, the Kelce brothers entertained fans with a karaoke performance of Bob Seger’s “Old Time Rock and Roll” at the tournament’s kickoff event. Their lighthearted approach to life and family showcases the strong connection they maintain, even as their careers keep them busy.
The cheerful interplay between the Kelces and their willingness to prioritize family is a heartening aspect of their lives and contributes to the charm and success of their podcast.
